WHAT RESIDENTS AND FAMILIES SAY ABOUT OUR CENTER
"My stay at Village Green of Waterbury made all the difference in helping me recover after my hospitalization. I was back on my feet just three weeks after triple bypass surgery and I feel better every day."
- Adam M.
"I would like to thank the nurses, the physical therapists, and everyone at Village Green of Waterbury who worked so hard to help me come back after I broke my hip last March. I didn't think I would ever be able to live on my own again, but now you should see me with my cane – I can even drive and do my own shopping!"
- Mary L.
