SHELTON - Bishop Wicke Health and Rehabilitation Center at Wesley Village recently celebrated the completion of a  renovation project, bringing relationship-centered care even closer to residents.

The renovations included redesigned nursing stations which removed the physical barriers that prevent families and residents in wheelchairs to connect with staff.
Nursing stations have evolved into “interdisciplinary work centers” and encourage interaction between staff, residents, families, and guests.

Also part of the upgrades, which were reviewed and critiqued by staff, residents, and families during the renovation project, were updated sitting and dining areas, therapy rooms, furniture, artwork, flooring, ceiling, lighting, technology, and more.

'Out of the box' idea
Bishop Wicke received a waiver from the state for this innovative care initiative, which was considered an “out of the box” idea for their 120-bed facility which provides short-term rehabilitation and also long-term care.
Several events were organized to unveil the renovations during the month of October, including an open house for both healthcare professionals and the public and a dignitary event for local representatives, donors, and other guests.


Owned and operated by United Methodist Homes (UMH), a local, faith-based, not-for-profit organization based in Shelton, CT, Bishop Wicke Health and Rehabilitation Center is proud to continue the mission of UMH by providing a continuum of services that supports health, independence, and dignity.
