History:
On May 21st, 1900, Mr. Augustus Smith Jerome signed his Will leaving his money and belongings to various charities and individuals. Included in his Will was a paragraph that requested that a Home be established for infirm men and women in New Britain and vicinity. This was to be done with the financial support of the remaining assets of his estate. Mr. Jerome died in 1905. Soon after the planning for Jerome Home began. Many years passed before the home could be constructed, and in 1932 the doors opened to meet the needs of the elderly community.

The original building is the Attwood Wing, which was built in 1932 and now houses our Residential Care residents. The East Wing was built in 1974 and our residents requiring Skilled or Intermediate Care may reside on these units. In 1990, the North Wing was built for residents in need of Skilled Nursing Care.

Through the years Jerome Home has offered a residence to elderly individuals who could not, for various medical or social reasons, live alone. Jerome Home offers security, comfort, nursing, and social support. The staff and volunteers provide these services. We hope you will enjoy being part of the long history of Jerome Home. We are proud of our facility and hope you will be too.
