Nathaniel Witherell is a true staple in the Greenwich community for skilled nursing. The building and property are beautiful, and the staff genuinely cares about improving residents’ quality of life. Nancy Marshall, the Admissions Liaison, is one of my favorite people there, kind, professional, and always helpful. Highly recommend. Craig Oshrin

Nathaniel Witherell — It is a family, and, like all families, the love you put in is what comes out. From the caring staff to the clean rooms, we could not ask for more. As it is close to where I live, I am able to visit often, to supplement my loved one's care. One special place, this Nathaniel Witherell!

My father has been in the best hands for the past three years on the Memory Care floor and the wonderful family of staff know exactly what he needs. Even though my father cannot communicate, they are always looking out for him and our family is very blessed to be here. We have felt this way since the day he arrived and continue to feel strongly that there is no other home like NW. Thank you to everyone there who makes this home for us.

Over the years I have had several relatives and friends who were residents or rehab patients at Nathaniel Witherell. When I retired, I began volunteering there and am now in my 12th year. Despite the challenges it faces, as do ALL senior-care and skilled-nursing facilities today, it is head and shoulders above most. The staff is caring and attentive, and treat residents with respect and dignity. An active Resident Council and a Family Council meet regularly to offer views and suggestions, giving everyone a seat at the table. A fabulous recreation team keeps residents engaged and having fun with a variety of games, chair yoga, films, ice cream socials, lectures, art projects, music programs and of course, Bingo. There are summer barbecues in a beautiful garden setting, and occasional "field trips" to local parks and beaches. Residents in the memory care unit are not left forgotten but are engaged daily in activities to stimulate and enrich their quality of life. Religious services in a beautiful chapel and pastoral care provide spiritual comfort and guidance. An on-site beauty salon, a gift shop, a café, and a library are here too. The Rehab gym, where I volunteer, is staffed by exceptional physical and occupational therapists for short-term rehab patients and long-term residents. Is Nathaniel Witherell perfect? Of course not. No place is. But there are so many reasons it has been called ‘the jewel of Greenwich’ for generations.

My mother has been a resident of The Witherell for 10 years. While covid was quite challenging, my mother has been incredibly well cared for. She never smells, she's always looking her best and has never had a bedsore. She has been wheelchair bound for all 10 years and never a bedsore. That is huge!! The Witherell is clean and comfortable and never smells. The recreation staff are the absolute best. I have worked with families in almost every state who have loved ones in a nursing home. While all nursing homes have their issues, The Witherell is one of the best around. I am proud to be a Greenwich resident where we care about how we care for our elderly.
