St Camillus Center

Negative experience: My parents have been here just under two days. The treatment so far has been intolerable. Told they would have their necessary medications because there was a pharmacy on site, but so far have not been getting their meds. The living conditions are atrocious - dirty, needs paint job, meals suck.

Fantastic experience: Great managers

Fantastic experience: Polite, professional, and compassionate staff.

Fantastic experience: Ark Healthcare & Rehabilitation has truly set the standard for compassionate, professional care in Fairfield County. From the moment you walk through the doors, you can feel the dedication and heart that this team puts into supporting residents and their families. I especially want to highlight Regional Minette Zambo, Administrator Julia Olenchuk, and Admissions Coordinator Jasmin Linares. Each of them goes above and beyond to make families feel informed, supported, and completely at ease during what can often be a stressful and emotional process. Their communication, warmth, and genuine care make all the difference. Ark Healthcare isn’t just a facility — it’s a true resource for the Fairfield County community. The team’s commitment to high-quality care and family support is exceptional, and I couldn’t be more grateful for the experience we’ve had. I wholeheartedly recommend Ark Healthcare & Rehabilitation to anyone seeking a place where their loved one will be treated with respect, compassion, and dignity.

Negative experience: The reviews say it all. Nurse Karen acts like a Karen. She talks over you and tries to put you down verbally any chance she gets. I am surprised this place shows 3 stars and not 1.

Fantastic experience: As a professional in senior care in Stamford, I have had the pleasure of speaking with countless families who have had their loved ones at ARK. They strive for excellence with the compassionate care they provide and are a trusted partner in care. Minette, Jasmine and their entire team treat your loved one like their own. I feel confident in referring families to this team!

Negative experience: There no way the 5 star reviews here are remotely honorable. We called today and were hung up on 12 times…

Positive experience: I have been at this Facility since 7/24. I have had great care, the food is a good. Asha the nurse is amazing and other staff! ! Laura in Admission got me to and from all appointments with ease.

Negative experience: In risk of closing ! Julia needs to resign A SAP due to gross incompetence.

Fantastic experience: I highly recommend Ark St Camillus to anyone in need of rehabilitation or long-term care. From the moment I arrived, I was treated with kindness and respect by every member of the staff. The environment is clean, welcoming, and well-organized, and it truly feels like a place where people care. The physical therapy department has been supportive, professional, and motivating. Thanks to their guidance, I’ve made steady progress and feel stronger every day. I always feel encouraged and never rushed during my sessions. A special thank you to Loida who goes above and beyond to make sure I never miss an appointment and that all my needs are met. She is incredibly organized, compassionate, and always follows through. Having someone like her on your care team makes a huge difference. The nursing staff is attentive and friendly, and I’ve always felt safe and well cared for here. Whether it’s assistance with daily tasks, medication, or just checking in on how I’m doing, they’re always there with a smile. Ark St Camillus is more than just a nursing home—it’s a place where people are treated like family. I’m grateful to be here and confident in recommending this place to anyone looking for excellent care and support.

Fantastic experience: The Staff is beyond amazing Food is excellent And they will accommodate you if you want something different for meals I would definitely highly recommend this place if your looking for a nursing care facility

Negative experience: Terrible place l not recommended this place never

Fantastic experience: My mother was there for a few weeks and passed away from dementia they are so nice and they took good care of my mom Laura was so nice and helpful I highly recommend them

Positive experience: Very clean, compassionate care, lots of activities and events for patients to participate in. Laura in admissions went above and beyond to help my friend settle in and helped her feel safe and at home.

Fantastic experience: Just want to give a shout out to all the staff at St. Camilus in Stamford. They are doing great work there. My brother in law has been there in long term care for the last 2 years and is being well taken care of he has everything he needs and it's close to us so we can visit often. He enjoys the food and activities and even has church services. The staff is kind and thoughtful. All the coordinating Dr. Visits have been great. Can't say thank you enough.

Fantastic experience: Best care ever! Warm staff, great activities, they care about you and take the time to listen to you about your healthcare concerns.

Positive experience: It’s nice to see Loyda at the front desk she is always smiling and always friendly would like to see her more at front desk

Fantastic experience: Minette and her team at Ark Rehab provide exceptional care and dedication to their patients. The team's wholehearted commitment to quality care, effective communication with patients and their families, and their overall professionalism have left a lasting impression. I highly recommend Ark Rehab.

Fantastic experience: My name is Joe I admitted my dad to Ark rehabilitation center in January. My experience has been wonderful he is getting the care he needs for his dementia and everyone has been so great at caring for him. I would definitely recommend this facility for your loved ones.

Fantastic experience: hello, my name is Joseph Pena. I recently admitted my mother to arck healthcare rehab center and I must tell you this place is incredible. The staff there is beyond reproach. They take the time to talk to you. They return your calls if you need assistance they assist you with whatever forms, you need to fill out from day one when I had to move my mother from another nursing home to here. I was hesitant because I wasn't sure what to expect. The first day was treated with royal treatment. I was given the grand tour they showed me all the things they had to offer and believe me when I say what they show you is actually true from recreation to food to rehab nursing medical care it's incredible. I want to thank the staff for all their time and patience with my mother because I know what time she could be a handful but although they continue on with giving her the love and care that she needs thank you to the staff and especially thank you to Miss Portia the social worker to ensure that everything runs like a very well oiled wheel. and also, let's not forget the chapel for the nuns that are there that are so great and continue to keep God in their hearts.

Negative experience: this place is absolutely disgusting. seriously this place needs to be shut down immediately!! i dont even know how this place is still open with all the fines they have, my grandmother had my grandfather transferred here from stamford hospital and that was the first mistake. He was doing way better in the hospital then he was at st. camillus. nobody tended to my grandfather when he was in there, we would visit and he would be still be sitting in the same dirty clothes, dirty sheets, diaper that looks like it hasnt been changed in days. and the only Time they cleaned the room/him it seemed like was when family showed up. they would also call my grandmother the morning after to tell her that he fell the night before and this would happen multiple times. they dont have any bars on the bed for the patients & i just think that makes no sense these are elderly people who do not have a sense of balance .. there should be 100% bars on the bed NOT handrails… my grandmother decided to take him out of the nursing home, because she felt like he would do better at home. not only did it seem like they were not paying attention to my grandfather, but there was also other patients there, screaming for help, and for nurses to come, and nobody would come, this place needs to be shut down for the safety of the other patients.

Positive experience: I went from Hartford to see my Aunt Traffic was pretty heavy, so I was pass the hour of visitors. They let me in for an hour, The place was pretty clean and the bathroom too. She has been taking care of her feet wounds. The only thing is that some of the others patient like going in others room patients. She told me cannot sleep well.

Negative experience: Google "St. Camillus Fines" for all you need to know. I have personally witnessed them refuse to stop sending my diabetic father food like sugar cookies which could seriously harm him. They are going to get someone killed and ought to be shut down. Shame on everyone involved. Will be filing complaint with DPH.

Fantastic experience: My Mom has been in the facility twice, before and after the new management. There has been tremendous changes with the new management. They are well-staffed which gives me comfort knowing that especially that Mom is a fall risk. Great in communication with updates. Thank you for taking care of my Mom!

Negative experience: If I could give them less than one star, I would give it to this place. It is terrible. The so-called nurses in this place have no hygiene. They wanted to touch a fitula that they caused bleeding with their hands without gloves. The food they provide to patients is a disaster. This place is like a horror movie. If you want your family member not to get worse or even die, don't send him to this place, it's a garbage place.

Fantastic experience: One of the cleanest facilities I ever worked, I felt so comfortable working at this place with friendly helping staff, would definitely recommend as a place for your loved ones and future staff.

Negative experience: Horrible employee communication. Whenever I try to talk to a patient they put me on hold for hours or tell me he is not there when he is.

Positive experience: People staff and residents are friendly and helpful.

Fantastic experience: i visited my friend who is a resident at the center and he told me that he is receiving exceptional care and the staff is very friendly and attends to all his needs. I would recommend this center to all my friends and family.

Fantastic experience: I am the New Recreation Director at the facility. I started working there in a post Pandemic environment and have been very impressed with the Staff’s commitment to providing excellent medical, rehabilitative and psychosocial care for our residents.

Fantastic experience: My stay here was beautiful. The workers on the 3rd was exceptional. Compare to other facility they served the best food. The only improvement will be increased staffing if that could be allowed. But the staff worked hard and very caring, the overall facility is beautiful and great service.

Fantastic experience: Great nursing home very clean, staff is very friendly, and attentive.

Fantastic experience: As a medical professional for most of my working life, I’ve seen the workings of many hospitals and short-term or chronic facilities. Ive worked with other professionals across the spectrum of training and title. But it wasn’t until I became a patient myself some years ago from a traumatic injury that I truly became aware of the healing power that each role of Individual caregivers can lend to one’s overall recovery. This has been a repeated experience for me when I had lymphatic cancer, a myriad of recurrent bone infections from the earlier traumatic injury and currently, pneumonia with interstitial fibrotic pneumonitis, bronchitis, influenza and general inflammatory disease of the lungs. Following initial treatments at the local hospital (which has an enormous budget) I came here to St Camillus Center for final treatments of breathing problems and the rehabilitation process that would allow me to return to my former active life as a senior citizen. I was most immediately impressed by the nursing staff, the RNs. In my experience, from multiple sides of the medical fence, outstanding nursing care is the absolutely most important aspect of the real healing process for any patient. Here at Camillus, I was not to be disappointed. There are nurses here who, while working long hours with large patient loads, respond with clinical certainty, broad knowledge, outstanding experience, kindness, warmth, patience, and timeliness that could not go unnoticed. In fact, I am in the process of identifying some of the best of the best nurses and writing reports of extreme competence and healing skills to their supervisors. But the kudos don’t end here. The CNAs at St Camillus are drawn from a wide variety of cultural backgrounds. Fortunately for us patients, each of these cultures are genuinely happy-spirited, warm, work very hard for lesser paying jobs (without regret), have a profound sense of morality and religious zeal that sugments the Spiritual healing that is also a part of a Catholic institution for health care. They are true psycho-social-spiritual healers !!! Do you know that small institutions on small budgets usually have tasteless, over cooked, nutritionally lacking meals ? Not at St Camillus. I have eaten each delicious meal, prepared by a creative and bright staff of chefs and assistants and serving staff as good as any in higher budget care centers. I was interviewed when I arrived to find out what foods I don’t want do they would never appear on my tray, thus disappointing me, adding to my stress thus preventing faster healing !!! I’ve been seen and evaluated by a Nurse Practioner, Physical Therapists, The Occupational Therapist, the Psychiatric Nurse, the Psychologist, my Physician, the Head Social Worker, the Administration (even the Executive Director at St Camillus) to meet my every recovery needs, establish treatment plans that work, set up medication and other treatment schedules throughout the day (dressing changes, Albuterol vaporizer treatment, PT, OT, showers, etc.) all with a great sense of dedication to my well being and to the highest levels of medical care by a small institution on a small budget. Do you know that a good cleaning / maintenance worker helps you get better ? Well, the best ones do. Not only do the better staff thoroughly clean all surfaces in the room to prevent nosocomial infections, but when they are also happy to work hard (cultural) and can carry on a cheery and appropriate conversation at the same time, they are healing my need for visitors (I have none otherwise). As a guy, I use a urinal by my bed. Anyone, from any level or role of service will empty it after putting on gloves.. Dr J. Gagnon

Fantastic experience: My Grandmother stay there was pleasant! Food is great compared to other nursing homes.

Fantastic experience: Wonderful place to work at we provide excellent care h

Fantastic experience: Lester the therapist was so great towards my grandma stay at St. Camillus Center.

Fantastic experience: I was very pleased to have selected St. Camillus Center for my recovery after my surgery. I found the entire staff polite, personable and professional. The administration to nursing, physical rehab, C.N.A.'s, the entire staff could not be more on point. Having stayed at St. Camillus has been a tremendous asset to my recovery. Thank you all!

Negative experience: Unprofessional and dirty

Positive experience: My mother lives here and gets adequet care. The cna's are lovely, caring people. I wish they would put fans in the bathrooms and better ventilate the entire building. Even an automatic air freshener would help. I do hear about cold dinners and long waits for assistance. Perhaps a little under staffed?? If you maintain contact with the staff, you can help be sure your loved one is being taken care of properly.

Negative experience: Mother was there and fell out of bed into the floor numerous times. I removed her. Under no circumstance would I recommend this facility. It doesn't deserve one star, but that was given for location - nothing more!

Negative experience: Terrible place

Negative experience: This place is terrible they have no regard to your loved one I was there today and literally waited 25 minutes for someone to come check on and change my gammy!! I will be documenting EVERYTHING and filing a full report ASAP!! DO NOT SENT YOUR LOVED ONE TO THIS PLACE!!!

Fantastic experience: I was there for 6 1/2 weeks to rehab from a fractured pelvis, sacrum, and arm. The rehab dept. is totally awesome! I was brought in on a gurney and walked out the door 6 1/2 weeks later! Everyone in the whole place took stock in my recovery from the nurses, aides, staff, rehab dept, and the nuns who made sure I got to mass daily! I was back to work full duty in 4 months! I still visit them to this day and it has been 4 years since the accident.

Negative experience: If I could rate negative stars I would. Every last detail of this place is terrible and disgusting. Residents get barely any attention. The rooms are filthy. This is not a place to keep your family member cared for. The neglect is inhuman and unreal.

Negative experience: My mother was admitted on Tuesday afternoon, she had fractured her ankle in 3 places, needed help for everything. She was placed in a bed and left there. Her medication was not administered correctly, she was rarely checked on, food was not administered for someone with diabetes. She is going home today because she is not comfortable there, doesn't feel that she is being attended to. I am very disappointed with the entire experience.

Negative experience: Had my mother here in January 2017. She fell 4 times in lessence than two weeks. I did file a repirt with the state of Connecticut. Always had a problem in reaching her by phone which was in the room. I believe they turned the ringer off. Many times my mom had no water. I called a meeting at the facility to address the issues. Mom did not return after the last fall.
