Individuals whose care is not covered by these programs may also inquire about private pay arrangements. Prospective residents and their families are advised to contact the facility directly at (203) 729-9889 to confirm current payment options and availability. When considered alongside national benchmarks, Beacon Brook Center presents a mixed profile. Its overall 1-star rating is below the national average of 3.0 stars, driven largely by the 1-star health inspection result. However, its quality measure rating of 4 stars indicates above-average performance on certain clinical outcome metrics, and its staffing rating of 3 stars aligns with the national midpoint. The health inspection rating, which is based on findings from state surveys conducted on behalf of CMS, carries significant weight in the overall rating calculation, contributing to the facility's lower composite score.
