- Worry-Free Living:A new world of friends, food, and fun awaits you at Pomperaug Woods. While you’re busy having fun, our staff takes care of everything else — cooking, cleaning, yard work, shoveling, home maintenance. You never have to worry about replacing a broken appliance, washing the windows, or weeding the flower beds. We do it all, so you don’t have to. Now that’s worry-free living!
- Peace-Of-Mind Care: When you join Pomperaug Woods as an Independent Living resident, you automatically qualify for our exclusive LifeCare program. That means no matter how your health needs change in the future, we will care for you. Our continuum of care includes Assisted Living, Memory Care, Skilled Nursing, Rehabilitation, Respite Care, and Hospice Care. With the Life Care guarantee, we will always be there for you. Now that’s true peace-of-mind!
Friends
New friends quickly feel like family. Residents meet new friends by connecting with others who share their passions — join our many committees, go on group day trips to museums or restaurants, take in a movie, or stop in for a game of Bingo.

They truly accommodate everyone to the highest levels.
I would recommend this facility anytime, my mother in law lived here for 8 years and I can tell you they were some of the best years of her life! She was so happy here.
My mother also did rehab here and loved it, she was so well taken care of.
Vicki is truly a gem, she manages to give the best possible care available to everyone.
My pleasure to give this review.
