What Geer Village Senior Community does

Geer Village Senior Community is a non-profit senior living and healthcare organization operating on a 70+ acre campus in North Canaan, Connecticut, serving seniors across Litchfield and Fairfield Counties in CT, Berkshire County in Massachusetts, and Columbia County in New York. Its core offering is a true continuum of care delivered on a single campus: independent and assisted living at The Lodge (studio, one-, and two-bedroom apartments on a monthly rental model with no buy-in), two specialized memory care neighborhoods (Hillside for early-stage dementia in 14 apartments and Gardenside for advanced dementia in 26 rooms), skilled nursing and rehabilitation (4-star CMS rated), outpatient physical and occupational therapy, an on-site pharmacy with same-day room delivery, and Beckley House HUD-subsidized low-income housing. The organization supports residents with 24/7 licensed nursing, an emergency call-bell system, on-campus YMCA access, restaurant-style dining, and two transportation services (Dial-A-Ride scheduled, Go Geer on-demand) within a 30-mile radius.

The business model is subscription/usage-based with no buy-in required. Revenue streams include monthly rentals for assisted living and memory care (Hillside starting at $8,640/month, Gardenside starting at $7,780/month), income-based rents at Beckley House, and Medicare/Medicaid/private-pay billing for skilled nursing and rehabilitation. Respite care is offered both in furnished apartments at The Lodge (30-day stays) and in the nursing facility for shorter durations, with the Connecticut Respite Care Program subsidizing up to $7,500/year per eligible family. Distribution is via a Centralized Admissions Office, healthcare provider referrals (hospitals, home health, case managers), community events, and direct consumer outreach across the tri-state area.

Geer Village was founded in 1928 originally as a hospital, transitioned to a Skilled Nursing Facility, and in the early 2000s expanded with the addition of low-income housing and The Lodge assisted living facility. As of August 2025, the organization entered a strategic management partnership with Integritus Healthcare (formerly Berkshire Healthcare Systems), a 19-entity non-profit network based in Massachusetts, while retaining operational autonomy under Geer Corporation governance with Shaun Powell serving as CEO during the transition.
