United Methodist Homes (UMH) was established in 1874 out of the vision of the members of a small church in West Haven, CT who cared deeply about helping the elders in their community and others in need. Out of their caring, they had the foresight to collaborate in such a way that nearly 140-years later their vision continues to serve those in need. UMH, as it stands today, is proud to carry on this tradition of caring for people across the continuum; seniors who are independent and those needing assistance, those rehabilitating from illness or surgery, younger adults with disabilities, and those living with dementia. Not only do we care for those who live in our communities, we care for and about their families and friends, and understand the need to offer them emotional and spiritual support. Equally important are the ways that we nurture and support our staff, the cornerstone of UMH communities.
