“After my "surprise" surgery in March I needed rehabilitation. I chose to go to Touchpoints at Farmington and experienced a most satisfying and helpful 3 1/2 weeks! The facility itself is very clean and well-equipped, but above all the health professionals and staff were top-notch! I felt completely well cared for and educated as to how to deal upon returning home. The caring and patient manner of all I met was just what was needed! Thank you for your dedication and caring.”
~ Resident MH (May 2021)
“I was a patient at Touchpoints at Farmington for the past three months. I came for short term rehabilitation after a major heart surgery. I have went through a lot of ups and down and it was hard to be able to comprehend everything at once. When you leave the hospital you think you will go home but sometimes things get thrown your way that you can't control. I was very happy with the monitoring of the heart failure nurse, Anna and therapy department: Scott and Dave. I had a lot of positive experiences. The staff at the facility was working with me very closely. I know I could not have done it by myself. I am happy to finally be returning home after a long stay however I greatly appreciate all the help and support provided to me by the staff and management at the facility. I will miss seeing the staff at the facility. I would like to return and visit the staff in the future.”
~ Linda G via Yelp Reviews (October 2020)

We were completely satisfied with everything. We were very happy. The food was good. You did not have to cook it. They sent it to you. I did not find any fault with it. It was pretty clean. It is a big place with people in and out all of the time. Her room and bathroom were clean. I would be very likely to recommend them to someone. I would tell them to give it a try. The care was very good. The location is good. I have no complaints.”

“At my age, 72, it is very painful to recover from a broken hip. As a retired Hartford firefighter of 37 years I have helped many people of all walks of life make it to the hospital. I never thought it would be me. As we speak I am in the best recovery, what I call, hospital facility. The team here at Touchpoints at Farmington are loving, caring, helpful and dedicate to helping everyone of us get better, not only physically but mentally too. Unfortunately we will all need some type of recovery…this is the place to be. I'm not sure I've ever read in my Hartford Courant op ed about this subject before. If you get injured, once again, Touchpoints is the place to be.”
~ Robert Damato (December 2018)

You get the best care. It was not just me. I saw them with many patients.”
