Dear Residents, Families and Partners,

Welcome to 60 West, a specialized skilled nursing and long-term care center in Rocky Hill, Connecticut, and a proud member of iCare Health Network’s MissionCare Health program.

Since opening in 2013, 60 West has served a unique role in Connecticut’s long-term care system. Developed in collaboration with the State of Connecticut, 60 West was established to provide nursing facility-level care for individuals with complex medical, behavioral health and social needs who may face significant barriers to placement in traditional nursing homes. This includes individuals transitioning from state care, those with criminal justice histories and others requiring a specialized approach to long-term care.

Over more than a decade, 60 West has demonstrated that individuals with complicated histories and significant care needs can be successfully served in a compassionate, structured and supportive nursing home environment. Our approach recognizes the dignity of every resident, regardless of their background or circumstances, and emphasizes individualized care, rehabilitation, personal growth and quality of life.

Our nurses, caregivers, therapists, social workers and support staff work together to address each resident’s medical needs while providing the social, recreational and rehabilitative services that contribute to their overall well-being. We recognize the importance of family involvement, community connections and helping residents achieve their highest practicable level of independence.

We are particularly proud of the recognition 60 West has received for its commitment to quality. In 2026, 60 West earned the Bronze – Commitment to Quality Award through the American Health Care Association and National Center for Assisted Living (AHCA/NCAL) National Quality Award Program. This national recognition acknowledges the foundation we have established for continuous quality improvement, organizational performance and resident-centered care.

60 West has also received recognition through the Centers for Medicare & Medicaid Services (CMS) Five-Star Quality Rating System and has previously been named among U.S. News & World Report’s Best Nursing Homes. These accomplishments reflect the dedication of our staff and our ongoing efforts to maintain high standards of care.

As the original MissionCare Health facility, 60 West has also helped establish a model of specialized long-term care that has expanded beyond Connecticut. Our experience continues to inform the development of programs for individuals who are medically appropriate for nursing home care but whose circumstances can make placement especially challenging.

We remain committed to our residents, their families and the many healthcare and government partners who have placed their trust in 60 West. We are grateful for the opportunity to serve this population and to continue improving the care and services we provide.

Thank you for your interest in 60 West. We look forward to welcoming you.

Best regards,
