The Nathaniel Witherell

What The Nathaniel Witherell does

The Nathaniel Witherell is a 202-bed, not-for-profit skilled nursing facility located on a 24-acre campus at 70 Parsonage Road in Greenwich, Connecticut, owned and operated by the Town of Greenwich since 1903. The facility delivers short-term rehabilitation (approximately 90% of admissions, sourced primarily from direct hospital referrals), long-term skilled nursing, specialized secure memory care, and a portfolio of outpatient and specialty rehabilitation services spanning orthopedic, cardiac/pulmonary, neurological, and general medical conditions. The facility admits patients seven days a week, grants admissions priority to Greenwich residents, and extends outpatient rehabilitation services into Fairfield County, CT and Westchester County, NY.

Operationally, Witherell is reimbursed through Medicare, the majority of commercial insurance providers, and Connecticut Medicaid, with supplementary funding from donations channeled through the affiliated Friends of Nathaniel Witherell 501(c)(3) nonprofit (established 2007). Core infrastructure includes a 4,000 sq ft state-of-the-art short-term rehabilitation gym, a dedicated memory care unit with elevated staff-to-resident ratios and full-time recreation therapists, a Culinary Wellness Garden, and a comprehensive therapeutic recreation program. The facility is distinguished by an annual nursing staff turnover rate of 7% versus a 46% national average, and is ranked in the top 8% of U.S. skilled nursing facilities per U.S. News & World Report with a CMS 5-star rating.

The governance model is unique: as a municipal non-profit, the facility answers to the Town of Greenwich rather than private shareholders, with a Board of Directors chaired by Peter Kelly. Recent leadership transitions include John Mastronardi as Executive Director (April 2020), Jack DiTeodoro, MD as Medical Director (February 2024, succeeding a ~50-year tenured predecessor), and Jeff Aldrich as Chairman of the Friends of Nathaniel Witherell board (February 2024).
