Welcome

We care greatly about your safety, as well as the safety of our residents and staff, during these unprecedented times. Some of you may have read about the recent outbreaks in several Connecticut nursing facilities, and here at Orange Health Care we are being as diligent as possible in the interest of protecting not only our residents' and staff's safety, but also the safety of you and your family. Adhering to the core safety principles of COVID and being outdoors is the best way to do this.
