96 Nursing Homes near Braintree, MA
Braintree is a scenic, historically rich town with nearly 40,000 residents and a senior community that makes up 17% of the population. The region is home to several high-performing medical facilities, including South Shore Hospital in Weymouth and Carney Hospital in Dorchester, making it a good option for older adults managing health conditions.
For older adults who need around-the-clock specialized medical care and monitoring, nursing homes may be a suitable option. These facilities are staffed with licensed care teams who provide personal care services, monitor acute medical conditions and administer medication. This is the highest level of care available outside of a hospital setting as well as the most expensive at $13,383 per month. Seniors who need a lesser degree of care may be good candidates for in-home care or assisted living.
This guide provides an overview of nursing home costs in Braintree, as well as an overview of the programs and agencies that help seniors make important decisions regarding their care.

My mother was transferred to your Braintree sight on Friday evening from a hospital. she is recovering from the Corvid virus. She was placed in the Alzheimer’s unit Windsor . she does not have Alzheimer’s, guess it was the only room available. We were so pleased to have her out of the hospital. Unfortunately it has been a nightmare for her and her family ever since. She was asked to be quit and go to sleep, don’t call us and her help button string was removed the first night so she couldn’t call for help. My mother has Parkinson’s disease. She had an adult diaper but on, so they didn’t have to toilet her or use a bed pan. Today they put a towel over her face to quiet her. last evening I had to call them at 6:45 becasue she hadn’t had her dinner yet. The aid said she had and when he went to check she hadn’t! I understand this is trying times for all of us especially the health care industry. I gather they are shot staffed and I feel for the employees applaud their endeavors. But abuse is abuse. I feel for the residents that do have Alzheimer’s and no family members to speak for them!

I recently broke my ankle and was sent to John Scott for rehab. I was a little concerned about a rehab/nursing home in general based on the horrible perceptions of such facilities. All my fears and concerns were almost immediately eliminated after only a few days at this facility. I found senior management to be highly visible, extremely approachable and sincerely caring. Head nurses were continuously consulted by staff and extremely concerned with resident comfort and safety. Duty nurses were prompt, professional and caring in the discharge of their duties and all aids were prompt, compassionate and pleasant when called upon.

I was in Alliance Health Center at Braintree last year. They didn’t get people out of bed, and I really deteriorated because of that. I went in with very strong arms and no arm problems, and I went out very weak. The physical therapists came and they tried, but they didn’t do very well. The physical therapy was all right, but the rest of them was not good. The food was alright. They didn’t get me out of bed, and it caused a lot of problems. I really don’t like Alliance.
Basically, they played bingo; I didn’t play. The old ladies loved it because they get $50 if they win. The facilities were alright; they were good. However, I didn’t get what I paid for. I didn’t think it was good at all because of the way they handled things. It was convenient to where I live.

I would like to express my heartfelt gratitude to all of the nurses and staff at Southwood at Norwell nursing center the dedication and care my mom received exceeded all expectations. I always thought that excellent care starts at the top with a great administrator. A very caring and compassionate administrator. Her professionalism and commitment to truly caring about her residents and staff is outstanding. She was always accessible and accommodating to myself and my family. We were always welcomed warmly and made to feel we belong as well. But what touched me the most was how my mother was cared for in the last days of her life. The entire staff showed unending compassion and patience to both my mother and my family. I will forever be thankful and sincerely grateful to you and all who cared so lovingly for my beloved mother Elizabeth….Debra Cirigliano

My mom went to Marina Bay for rehab. after being discharged by Cape Cod Hospital without necessary cardiac care. From the first phone call confirming my mom had arrived and was settled in to the call the next day from her on site physician, Dr. Ostrom, the care and consideration shown by the staff was incredible. When they call you, the first thing they say is"’this is Marina Bay, your mom is fine", and then they state the purpose of the call. Dr. Ostrom is the rare Geriatric Internist who actually understands health concerns in the elderly and can effectively and appropriately manage care. He actually does the investigative work to confirm a diagnosis and then initiate appropriate treatment. PT and OT staff are excellent. I went to OT with my mom daily and OT Cynthia did an incredible job working with her. Staff took the time to teach me how to assist in dressing, bathing, etc. as my parents will be moving in with me. Everyone we met at Marina Bay provided excellent care and did so with full explanations for family and my mom. Any concerns we had were addressed promptly and appropriately. Highly recommend Marina Bay for Rehab. for your loved one.

I saw the rehab facility of NewBridge on the Charles. Their facilities are stunning, the rooms are very comfortable, the common spaces are stunning, the physical therapy is excellent, but the nursing staff is indifferent. The nurses are overworked and the care suffers. The PCAs are not adequately trained, I suspect they’re not being paid very much, and so the level of care is erratic. However, the medical care is excellent, and the food is excellent.

When you first walk it the building looks old, but it is really clean. And the Nurses and P/T, O/T and the rest of the staff are the most amazing, compassionate and caring people I have ever met. They took excellent care of my Dad after he suffered a stroke. They were so accommodating with the food to be sure he ate something he liked. The kitchen staff goes out of their way to make the patient happy.
There are lots of activities. The people that lived there were very busy and very HAPPY. They were clean and dressed everyday. When you would met them in the hallway they would talk to you and you could tell they enjoyed their "home".
I knew when I left that my Dad would be well taken care of by the wonderful group of nurses and staff.

Financial Assistance for Nursing Home Care in Braintree, MA
Many seniors and their families use some form of financial assistance to help them pay for nursing care. The main options available are Medicare, Medicaid, and veterans benefits. These programs can be complicated, especially when it comes to benefit terms. Below, we give a brief overview of how these programs may be used towards paying for skilled nursing care.
- Medicare: Medicare will typically cover all skilled nursing costs for the first 20 days of one’s stay in a nursing home and a portion of the costs until day 100. After 100 days in a skilled nursing facility, Medicare will not cover any part of the cost of the stay. While this is adequate when short-term care is needed, those in need of long-term care will need to either pay out-of-pocket or use another source of financial assistance.
- Medicaid: Medicaid covers most of the costs of living in a skilled nursing facility for those who qualify. Care, room, and board are covered with no time limit, but residents may be charged for extras like specially prepared food or cosmetic services. Medicaid eligibility standards are strict and complex, so not all seniors are eligible for Medicaid benefits.
- Veterans Benefits: Veterans receiving a VA pension may also be eligible for the Aid and Attendance benefit administered by the VA. Aid and Attendance is a monthly allowance that beneficiaries may use to pay for their long-term care, including skilled nursing care.
If these options aren’t available to you, check if your loved one has long-term care insurance or contact your Area Agency on Aging to ask about any local financial assistance programs for seniors.
