The Best Nursing Home Communities in Dukes County, MA

"My Grandmother spent some time in this facility. The staff was very friendly and helpful with all of my grandmothers needs. They helped her with her hygiene and also helped her get involved in social events run by the facility. They were welcoming and warm towards me and my grandfather when visiting. They even offer the guests meal to enjoy with their family members. They remained conscious of my grandmother diabetes and were helpful are meal time. My family was very pleased with this facility. "

"I live near Our Lady’s Haven. The facility is nice, but the rooms are small. The staff is very friendly, helpful and seemed to be very good. I loved the family atmosphere and the good interaction between the staff and residents. "

"I'm getting therapy at The Pavilion Rehab and Nursing Center. The only problem with that is, with the virus going around, you have to kind of stay in your room, and you can't go down the hallway and all. They've got a number of people with the virus, so they have to keep you away from them, but things are pretty good. The food is very good. I'm satisfied with it. The place is very clean. They get you up in the morning, get you ready to go, and then you have your physical therapy. The food has been very good. They come by and you get to choose your lunch and dinner, and that's pretty good. The staff is good. If you need something, they get it for you. They're pretty friendly, and they make sure you get everything you need."

"My grandmother has been at Sippican for a few months. She used to have visiting nurses come to her home, but as of late her health has been failing and she's been slipping/falling more often now. She's at Sippican mainly because she has trouble walking and her legs swell up. I've found the staff very warm and welcoming whenever I call and visit. Even though I always forget the name of the ward my grandmother's in, they're happy to look it up and direct my call. My grandmother's also hard of hearing, so often times when she can't hear the phone ring, they'll be sure to pick it up for her and let her know that her granddaughter's calling. Another thing I've found very helpful is that they're understanding that she's familiar with certain nurses and would prefer to have her care given to her by them, and them only. She gets uneasy with newer nurses around. Sippican is happy to accomodate for her, and that makes me feel better about what goes on at the facility when I'm not around to actually witness it. "

"My sister was in Spaulding Rehabilitation for rehab and this place was amazing, it was top-notch. The rehabilitation was amazing, and the doctors and nurses were very receptive. My sister went into an eight-hour period, between four and a half to five hours a day in rehab, and it was very widespread. They went from memory care to practicing speech, to arm control, hand control, leg control, walking in and out, dressing, everything. They also included how to prepare yourself for showers and getting clean. My sister had no ability to even move the arm or leg on her left side, and when they got her down to Spaulding, it was amazing how her recovery came. She's able to use a walker, and speech and everything almost came back to normal. They helped her improve tremendously, the ability of what Spaulding did was like a miracle, it was fantastic, and they worked hard with her. The place is brand new, it's only been there for like three or four years. It's fantastic, well-groomed, well-maintained, very clean, and very aesthetic. It's very well-organized and set up in terms of how you get in and get out, the security is very well done. The food was amazing, it's like gourmet and was very good. There were areas where she could do some socialization with people, so she would actually eat meals with other people, and she got along with her roommate. Most of the activities were pretty O.T., and she would do it with other patients, so the activities were primarily oriented towards rehab."

" Well I lost the first one that I wrote so I hope I can really do it In a nut shell. There were a few good nurses ( and I will send them to the correct place) and all of the medical staff CMA‘s are absolutely wonderful. I don’t want to mention that admissions director of social services Lisa I do not have her last name. Has a lot to learn about advocating. I was told by my insurance company Blue Cross Blue Shield PPO New Jersey, and Medicare, that I have 101 days of rehab here. This is December 5. I came in on Tuesday night. No rehab at all as I came in late. I had very good care from OT her name is Celina. The rest of the team has a lot to Learn to learn about taking care of someone at 60 years old instead of 85-90 years old I did voice this concern when I first got here. But I was assured that age didn’t matter. When the state came in the nursing staff all shaped up and told the Cma to walk a straight line. When they already have. They are sending home to Pt, ot, nursing staff this is not my first rodeo I’ve had them two times already. They’re understaffed and overworked so they cannot spend much time with you. Maybe two days turn into one day not much help. So being here I had a lot of false hope I’ve been waiting over an hour and a half a for furicet, Morton and zofran ( but I would take any thinks I’m not dry heaving anymore ). So I guess I read it to stars and meant to braid it one but I can’t change it If you were smart you would not come here to Brandon Woods South Dartmouth. Or come here and be miserable "

"My wife is at Royal of Fairhaven. I live around the corner from it. My overall experience with them is excellent. The food is fine. They have entertainment during the week. They have some singers and dancers that come in. They have physical therapy. It seemed to be very well administered. My wife has a shared room, and it is very nice. I would recommend this facility to anyone. I think the care is very good. The people are very nice and caring. "

"My husband has Alzheimer's and Parkinson's and none of the homes was able to take him because he was too violent. Fortunately, the hospital helped me find a home and that's Brandon Woods of New Bedford. It's a very good place. He is in a room with three other men and that's fine. The staff are very nice and very good to him. They take good care of him. They serve good food and he eats three meals a day. He's on pureed anyway. My husband seems calmer and quiet now and he even laughs and smiles. He is doing well already. "

"What I like about Royal is that it's close to my house and I can just visit my Aunt anytime. The nurses and staff working there were very good and I have no complaints about them. She is in a 3 bedroom but she has dementia so she is not in her room too often. I haven't heard her complaining about the food. Other people have but she is not complaining so that's fine. "

"Royal Taber Street Nursing and Rehabilitation Center was a very small facility. Their staff was very caring and very helpful. They were also very nice to the family members. It had a nice environment. It was well kept. "

"The rooms are on the smaller side, but the housekeeping staff keep everything so clean. Each room has its own bathroom, and rooms are regularly inspected. The food is good and all of the staff were great. We spoke with someone from laundry who was very knowledgeable and was treating all of the residents like family. It was very reassuring to see people like that working there. We had an issue with something in the room and maintenance came in right away and fixed it. Overall we are very pleased at the care being provided and would strongly reccomend."

"I was a rehab patient there twice over about approximately 8 year span; once for my left knee replacement and, more recently, for back surgery. The staff is caring and friendly. The food is very good and the Chef is very attentive to any special requests (personally comes around and introduces himself). They have entertainment practically every day of the week and their calendar is full! There is a hair salon on site and the Physical Therapists and Occupational Therapists are excellent with an excellent Therapy room. I would recommend it to anyone or any family looking for a Nursing Home to treat their loved ones. "

"I liked the location of Kindred Transitional Care and the caring, friendly staff. The patients and the staff seemed to engage with one another, but they don’t have enough staff members. They keep the family informed. My stepfather is comfortable. "
