ROBERT W. ELWELL JR., MD
Robert W. Elwell Jr., MD spent three decades providing primary care to residents in central Connecticut. Prior to relocating to the Naples area, he pursued his passion and provided medical care to a predominantly geriatric population at Masonicare in Wallingford, CT, a Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC). His patients lived in various home settings including independent living, assisted living as well as rehabilitation, long-term care and memory care. He worked with his patients and their families when circumstances made it necessary to make alternative living situations to provide the safest and most supportive environment for their physical and emotional well-being. He often states that “he learned as much from his patients as they got from him.” He is an avid listener and problem solver.

SENIOR CARE AUTHORITY COMPANY HISTORY
Cynthia and her team were helpful, professional and caring. She was a great resource for learning about different options, levels of care, and facilities. And now that my mother has been placed, she has remained high touch and showed concern about how my family settles into its new situation. I highly recommend Senior Care Authority.
