By the River Residential Care Home is an assisted living facility in Marlborough, CT. It operates as a single-family residence providing non-medical custodial care for up to 10 elderly adults. The facility serves individuals who seek a home-like environment without the commercial scale of larger institutions. Services include assistance with daily living activities such as dressing, showering, cleaning, meal preparation, and medication management. Residents receive companionship, family-style meals, and support with scheduling doctor appointments and transportation. The home is family-owned and managed by a geriatric nurse who oversees a staff of trained certified nursing home assistants. Care is provided without extra charges for assistance, meals, or activities, and the facility accepts long-term care insurance benefits.
The founder established the home after observing that elderly individuals receiving in-home care often experienced loneliness between visits. The residential setting is designed to combine the security of a private home with the daily social interaction of a community. Residents share a large dining room for family-style meals and a sun room for reading or visiting with family. The property features a front porch and a back patio overlooking nature and the river, along with space for gardening.
