At Touchpoints at Chestnut, as with many skilled nursing communities, there is much more to caring for residents than medical care and rehabilitation. Although short term rehab can be quite brief, stretching a few days to a few weeks, many residents call our communities their home. In order to foster the home like environment, provide stimulating activities and recreation and add to the overall quality of life, many other projects and initiatives have been woven into daily life.

iCare Health Network is seeking a seasoned RN candidate with post-acute/skilled nursing/long term care experience  of for the position of Director of Care Transitions - Regional Clinical Director.  

Three veterans of the Vietnam War were given the Connecticut Veterans Wartime Service Medal on Tuesday at a ceremony at Touchpoints at Manchester.

Instead, they were able to celebrate Tuesday with other veterans as well as family and friends.
