Rep. Wadsworth Visits Touchpoints at Farmington Care Center

State Rep. Bill Wadsworth (R-21) joined State Rep. Tim LeGeyt and State Senator Kevin Witkos Tuesday to tour Touchpoints at Farmington Care Center in Farmington.

The state legislators toured the 120 bed facility to meet with the managerial staff to discuss some of the general issues currently facing nursing homes throughout Connecticut. After the tour, Wadsworth, who serves on the Human Services Committee in the General Assembly, spoke highly about the level of care Touchpoints delivers to its patients.

“The state-of-the-art technology and skilled nursing that Touchpoints offers is truly outstanding.” said Wadsworth. “Most importantly, the comforting atmosphere of the facility creates a very relaxing and active environment where people who are in need of specialized care can feel at home.”

Touchpoints at Farmington offers a variety of physical, occupational and speech therapy service programs designed to meet the individual needs of both short-term and long-term patients. The specialized rehabilitation program is designed for those who may require a post-acute stay for orthopedic, surgical or medical recovery, intravenous therapy, wound care, hospice services and pain management.

The facility recently launched a congestive heart failure recovery program, which includes collaboration with medical, physical, educational and psychosocial support systems designed to prevent re-hospitalization and return people to their homes.
