Owner’s Letter
Shady Oaks provides strong nursing in a cozy and loyal home.
We are higher care vs. other assisted livings.
We are more affordable vs. live-in home care.
We are more cozy vs. skilled nursing homes.
I value care. I am a Red Cross trained nurse assistant.
I value service. I am a 3-tour Marine Iraq veteran.
I value learning. I earned a Yale BA and Harvard PhD.
Call me 860-583-1526. I am always available. I live next door.
Very Respectfully,
Tyson Francis Belanger

Tyson’s parents began senior care in 1969 and built Shady Oaks in 1975. 12 of his family members lived here.
Shady Oaks excels at dementia, heart disease, stroke, Parkinson’s, mobility assistance, and hospice care.
We provide great communication and high staffing (lift transfers and 24/7 CNAs) in a cozy boutique home.
We assist with VA & CT financial aid. In the past 7 years, we only lost 3 residents to running out of money.
We are strong and cautious against COVID-19. As of July 2023, only 6 residents ever caught COVID here.
People choose us when they prioritize care. 95% of our residents stay with us through to their passing.
