What Waveny lifecare network does

Waveny LifeCare Network is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit, full-continuum senior care provider founded in 1975 and headquartered at 3 Farm Road, New Canaan, Connecticut. The organization operates independent living (The Inn at Waveny), assisted living and memory care (The Village), a 76-bed five-star CMS-rated skilled nursing facility (Waveny Care Center), short-term and outpatient rehabilitation, in-home care (Waveny at Home), and hospice and palliative care (Waveny Visiting Nurse & Hospice), supplemented by an Adult Day Program, a Respite Care program, and the free Navigator Alzheimer's and Dementia at Home service. Its clinical differentiation rests on a therapeutic memory care model centered on a purpose-built indoor "Main Street" streetscape (implemented 2001), a telemedicine platform that streams vital signs in real time to licensed RNs, and a proprietary tuition-free, earn-as-you-learn CNA training school (established 2022) that delivers 400 hours of instruction — roughly four times the state requirement — to address workforce shortages.

The organization's go-to-market is sales-led and locally concentrated, driven by direct family inquiries, in-person facility tours, community education events, and longstanding hospital and physician referral relationships that feed post-acute admissions. Revenue is generated through monthly all-inclusive fees for independent living and memory care, CMS-reimbursed skilled nursing and rehabilitation, fee-for-service home health and hospice across Fairfield and Westchester Counties, and tax-deductible philanthropic contributions supporting patient care, capital projects, and the uncompensated care fund. Waveny currently treats approximately 400 rehabilitation patients per year, operates Waveny Care Center at greater than 90% occupancy, and is in active expansion: a 41,000-square-foot short-term rehabilitation facility broke ground on May 27, 2026 with completion targeted for Spring 2028, supported by the "Build the Future of Care" campaign targeting more than $15 million in philanthropic contributions.
