The short answer
Record last released by Connecticut Department of Public Health (licences recorded in the state eLicensing system, published by the Department of Consumer Protection) on Oct 19, 2026. We couldn’t read Connecticut Department of Public Health (licences recorded in the state eLicensing system, published by the Department of Consumer Protection)’s list since Oct 30, 2026: data.cms.gov now refuses our reader. This record is as of then.
- Not rated by Medicare: CMS rates only the providers it certifies, and this one isn’t Medicare-certified
- Not read what inspectors found: the state’s list doesn’t carry it

What these words mean3
- Not read
- The file this site reads doesn’t carry what inspectors found, so nothing is counted here. It doesn’t mean the place has a clean record: the state’s own site may have its reports. Source: How this site reads each source.
- Inspection (survey)
- A visit by state inspectors, often unannounced, who check a place against the rules it must meet. For nursing homes and other places Medicare pays, CMS calls these visits surveys: a standard survey of a nursing home comes at least every 15 months, and a complaint survey whenever a complaint calls for one. Source: CMS; 42 CFR 488.308.
- Deficiency, citation, violation
- What inspectors write up when a place didn’t meet a rule: the rule, what they saw, and when. CMS calls it a deficiency; states may say citation or violation. It is the inspectors’ finding, not a court’s, and the place is usually asked for a plan to correct it. Source: CMS, statement of deficiencies (Form CMS-2567); each state’s licensing agency.
What did inspectors find?
Connecticut’s licence data carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. The Department of Public Health’s Facility Licensing and Investigations Section inspects licensed hospitals; its records are requested from the Department.

How do patients fare?
- CMS rates only Medicare-certified hospitals, so no CMS rating is shown here; Connecticut publishes no rating in this list.
Is it licensed, or certified?
- Hospital for Psychiatric Disabilities, licensed by Connecticut’s Department of Public Health.
- State forensic psychiatric hospital: for people committed by a court.
- Connecticut’s licence data marks no certification, and CMS’s files of the hospitals Medicare certifies (Care Compare, the Provider of Services file and CMS’s rehabilitation and long-term care hospital lists) don’t hold it by its name in its town or its street, so it isn’t Medicare-certified. CMS’s files list only the hospitals Medicare certifies, so no CMS CMS rates some kinds of place from 1 to 5 stars, more stars meaning better on CMS’s own measures for that kind: for a nursing home, its health inspections, staffing and quality measures. A rating is CMS’s summary of those measures; it doesn’t promise good care. Source: CMS, Care Compare and the Five-Star Quality Rating System., survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- Connecticut’s licence number: PSY.0000074, valid to Jun 30, 2028.
- First licensed Aug 8, 2018.

Has the state acted against it?
- Connecticut’s licence data carries no enforcement actions.
What do patients say about their care?
- Connecticut publishes no staffing levels in this list, and CMS’s staffing measures cover only certified hospitals.
Who owns it?
- This list doesn’t name owners.
How does it compare nearby?
- Not compared: CMS’s measures cover only the hospitals Medicare certifies, and this state’s list publishes no measure of its own to compare.
What the record doesn’t say
- Connecticut licenses every hospital, and its licence data lists each licence in force, but not which Medicare certifies. This page is one CMS’s files don’t hold by its name, its street or its number, and that the check of the list row by row found licensed only: so no CMS rating or inspection covers it.
- CMS’s files list only the hospitals Medicare certifies, so no CMS star rating, survey or inspection covers this one, and none is shown or compared.
- Connecticut’s licence data carries no inspection results, so this page can’t say what inspectors found. The Department of Public Health’s Facility Licensing and Investigations Section inspects licensed hospitals; its records are requested from the Department.
