Can Fairfield County House care for someone with dementia?
The public license data does not say: DPH keeps no published list of dementia special care units, so families have to ask Fairfield County House whether it runs one and request the disclosure document that goes with it.
Connecticut requires a staffing plan on file with DPH and annual dementia training for licensed direct care staff in memory care units, but sets no numeric ratio, so ask for the overnight headcount on the unit itself. How Connecticut regulates dementia care in assisted living.

What questions does Fairfield County House's record raise?
Start with what the record raises: ask for the residency agreement and the ALSA service agreement side by side: the MRC charges for housing and core services, the ALSA for care.
- Ask who the assisted living supervisor (the required registered nurse) is, and how the 24-hour on-call nurse is reached at night.
- Ask for the fee schedule and the history of increases; MRCs must give 90 days' notice of recurring-fee increases and ALSAs 60 days.
- Ask whether the community accepts residents whose assisted living services are paid by the Connecticut Home Care Program for Elders, and what rent is charged if so.
