"My cousin is in Fitchburg Healthcare. They always have someone at the desk. There are two buttons to make the door open, and somebody at the desk usually sees you. And then you just go to that desk and sign in and you say who you're visiting. It's very clean. The staff is very attentive when my cousin puts the light on or whatever, and they make sure the patients are clean, but my cousin doesn't like that. He complains about that because he doesn't want to be clean. My cousin is more or less bedridden, but they get him up and about. They have an activity center on the first floor. My cousin has a calendar with the activities that they're doing daily. I've never been there during meal time, but he always wants me to bring him food. He complains about everything though. They let them go outside and smoke, too."

"My Mom has had several short term stays at the highlands and we are very pleased with the care she receives. The rehab personnel are excellent and each time Mom leaves she is a little better than she was before her falls. The aides work very hard and try to take care of all the residents needs. The facility communicates very well with me and the steps that mom is dealing with along the way. Over the past visits it seems like there are a lot of improvements made to the patient care and communication. Every place has its bumps but I know once mom leaves and comes home if she has another fall and needs rehab this is the only place I would entrust my moms care to. "

"My daughter is in Life Care Center of Leominster. It's an excellent place. She has a lovely room. They have rehab and assisted living also, but she's in the nursing home. The grounds are beautifully cared for. It's very clean. There's no smell. From the minute you walk in the door, the receptionists are very, very personable. The admissions lady, Marilyn, is outstanding. She deserves great credit. The food is excellent. Peter is the chef, and he presents it beautifully and it smells good. The staff seems nice. It is a nursing home and there are a lot of people in wheelchairs, but they all seem happy. My daughter is only 60, but she can't take care of herself anymore. It's only been a week and a half, but so far, she's happy and she's well taken care of. I can't see anything wrong with the staff. I like it. I'd go there myself if I had to."

"My child has resided in Seven Hills at Groton for 9 years. SH is an amazing facility! It is a safe, clean, nuturing & educational centered environment for the Pediatric patient who has severe disabilities and who needs 24/7 medical care. Their days are FILLED with interaction and include a modified school day. Here they receive PT,OT,Visual stimulation,music & art therpy, swimming etc. etc. The teachers, nurses and CNAs are second to NONE! This place takes the difficult task of realizing that there is NO WAY that you can meet the needs of your medically fragile child and turns all your fears into complete reassurance that your child receives the BEST possible services , care and quality of life. There is NO better facility on this Earth! "

"The staff is amazing! They are interactive with patients and supportive of family members. The safety and wellbeing of residents is a priority , and facility is clean and cheerful ! It is always heart wrenching to have to place a loved one into someone else care , but this has been a gift in this pandemic to have a place where my mother is safe and cared for. They try to do as many fun activities as possible. In these very stressful times I have never worried that her care was not a top priority for the staff."

The food is excellent, and the nursing care is very good. We really have made a good decision. You feel good, and I like everything about it. The activities group is excellent. There is something going on all the time. It's a good size place, and what they do is amazing. "

"I have been a patient for over two months and can’t say enough about the care they provide. They have a new cook who is wonderful and the food is great. I’ve already decided that if and when the time comes I would chose this nursing home. I love all the aids and nurses they treat you with respect. I give the place a thumbs up "

"I rated this home a 3 because there was some good and some not so good areas in this home. As soon as I entered the home, the first thing I saw as I walked down the halls was some elderly residents just sitting in wheelchairs outside their room, some beds along the corridor, it felt too much like a sterile hospital to me rather than a "home". There was a big kitchen and the food did look nourishing and tasty. I saw an activity center that seemed like it had some fun activities for the residents there, those that wanted to participate anyway. The personnel seemed very friendly and helpful. There was an emergency there while I was there and the response was very quick. I didn't seen any residents sitting around needing/wanting help with no response from the personnel.All in all, I thought this was a decent place for residents, but I do think it could use a facelift. I think it could be made to be more "homey" by adding warm colors on the windows, blankets, things like that. I just thought it was too "white" and sterile looking. If I were looking to place someone in my family in a facility like this, I think I would do more researching after touring this place...somewhere that's not so "hospital-like". "

"The Elms Care and Rehabilitation Center was great to my grandfather, myself and the rest of my family. The staff made everybody feel really comfortable, even with my grandfather being very tough to deal with at that point. He was there for a few weeks after he received treatment at the hospital for lung cancer. Sadly, he went home and received hospice care after and passed away shortly after. The staff at the assisted living facility was very wonderful to all of us. "

"I looked at Greenbriar (Kindred Transitional Care and Rehabilitation), and everything looked good, but it was not going to accommodate the things that we needed. However, they had a rehab for the people who were off from surgery as it is a nursing home. They answered all my questions. "

"My mom was at the Odd Fellows Home and I would like to thank everyone who took care of her. Everyone was very caring and compassionate. The staff were very informative at her Care Plan meetings. The Rehab Department did a wonderful job getting her to get up and walk. (which is no easy task). The nursing staff always checked in with her to see if she needed anything. The kitchen did a great job with her meals (because she is a picky eater). Thank you from the bottom of my heart. "

"My mother entered Coleman house in August 2020. She had been living with me and needed more care than I could give her. They have been so caring and helpful during her adjustment (and mine.) At times it was a challenge and they worked with me to ensure her best care. They kept me informed of her progress and were always willing to chat with me. We were able to simplify things and make connections with her doctors. I can’t recommend Coleman House enough. My mother is well cared for and the staff are well trained and know exactly what to do.

In Fitchburg, costs for nursing home care are about $11,863 for semi private rooms and $12,395 for private accommodations.
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.
It’s common for costs to vary across different types of senior care due to the scope of services offered by each option. In-home care and home health care tend to be less expensive than nursing homes, with respective rates of $5,720 and $5,911 in Fitchburg, but they require individuals to remain in their own homes. Adult day centers only provide daytime care, reducing the overall cost to $1,842. Assisted living facilities, at $5,685, offer residential care services, but nursing home care is generally the costliest option as it provides 24/7 support by medical staff, starting at $11,863 for semi private rooms and $12,395 for private ones.
