Welcome to Touchpoints at Bloomfield
Dear Residents and Family Members,
Thank you for choosing Touchpoints at Bloomfield as your skilled nursing healthcare provider. Touchpoints at Bloomfield is an innovative skilled nursing care center that provides all manner of short term rehabilitation and long term care, specializing in Congestive Heart Failure (CHF), Pulmonary Rehabilitation and Behavioral Health provided in a secure setting.
The care plan and clinical pathway for residents participating in the CHF and Pulmonary programs is followed closely by the Complex Care nursing and respiratory team. This group of clinicians works with the interdisciplinary team, including hospital partners and consulting pulmonologists on a daily basis to ensure high quality clinical outcomes, strong customer service, decreased readmission rates and shorter lengths of stay. Touchpoints is a proud partner of the Saint Francis Hospital (Trinity Health of New England/SOHO) Post-Acute Care Network and the Hartford HealthCare Integrated Care Partners network.
As an Administrator since 2002, I have found that everyday is a new adventure. I began my career as a CNA then transitioned to a Director of Social Services within the nursing home but realized that I was limited with what changes I could make or implement in the lives of not only the residents but the families and staff. As an Administrator I am able to interact with them all and try to find solutions for all. This gives meaning and purpose to my life and career.
I do not go to work expecting the same as the day before, being willing to bend to what is going on and going with the flow makes the difference. The situations that arise are ever changing. Even on what I may feel is some of my toughest days, such as when we were in the recent pandemic, the residents made it all worth it. Whether it was being able to alleviate their fears, sit with them when their own family and friends could not, seeing a smile on their face would make my day. Continue Reading

Winter wellness is all about staying active, connected, and engaged in the community—and when we learned the East Windsor Senior Center has an active hiking group, it was an easy yes.

A Longstanding Presence on Main Street: The Evolving History of Touchpoints at Chestnut
January 21, 2026
On Main Street in the Warehouse Point section of East Windsor, one building has quietly mirrored the changing needs of its community for more than half a century. Known today as Touchpoints at Chestnut, the facility’s history stretches back to a time when caring for seniors looked very different. Public records and archival references indicate that by the early 1960s, the property was operating as D’Amore Rest Haven, a small rest home serving older adults in the neighborhood. Period adverti… -
Honoring Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. — MLK Day 2026
January 19, 2026
On Martin Luther King, Jr. Day, let us pause not only to remember history, but to recommit ourselves to the everyday work of dignity: caring for people as whole human beings, listening with humility, and building trust across differences. This type of service isn’t an abstract idea—it’s measured in small, consistent actions: patience, respect, advocacy, and the belief that every life has equal worth. Dr. King’s words continue to challenge us to see our shared responsibility to one anothe… -
Winter in Connecticut brings more than cold temperatures and snow-covered sidewalks. For older adults and individuals recovering from illness or injury, icy conditions significantly increase the risk of slips, trips, and falls. Each winter, fall-related injuries lead to thousands of emergency department visits across the state, many of which could be prevented with advance planning and simple precautions. At skilled nursing care centers such as Touchpoints at Chestnut in East Windsor, winter is …
