Nursing Home Communities in Marlborough, MA

"My mother currently resides at Beaumont and she's been there about 2 years. We love the staff, from the front desk person to the nurses to the cleaning staff. We visit several times and week and see the interaction that staff has with my mother. She is very well cared and there are many activities during the day to keep busy. The rooms are fine, I believe they are being painted soon, the food is OK. I think the food is better on the second floor than on the first but my mother never complains about. "

"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. "

"Beaumont at Northborough is very close to where I live and the staff seems very friendly, competent, and seems to care a lot about their residents. Mom is in a shared room. It seems quite nice and bright. The windows have the sun shining in. I had one meal there and I think the food was good. If somebody has dietary restrictions or can't eat something, they have alternatives for you."

"Following a total knee replacement, I spent 16 nights in rehab/recovery at Sudbury Pines. I was in considerable pain from the surgery. The nurses, CNAs and the rest of the staff did everything possible to keep me comfortable. They were always there with ice packs, medications, or whatever was needed to help. The physical therapy staff were encouraging and helpful in my rehab and the nursing staff arranged my medication schedule to accommodate my rehab schedule. At best, I am a picky eater but if I did not like the meals provided, they got me something else. All I had to do was ask. I wasn’t there long enough to take advantage of their social programs, but for longer term patients they have lots of activities. If I ever need care again, this is the place that I will go and I recommend it to my family and friends."

"There's been a change in staff at the westborough healthcare and I have to tell you it's the most amazing thing I've ever seen. The vibe went from bla to woohoo. My dad is now very well taken care of I'm a very hypercritical person and I have to say I feel confident that he's okay. I couldn't say that prior to now but the new staff and all of the therapy people and the social workers and the new admin are just great. They actually care about your people. Food is great therapy is awesome nurses really know their stuff. Would recommend this facility"

"My stepmom was at Oak Knoll Healthcare Center for rehab. It was kind of a little dated, but it's nice. The staff is nice. It's clean. She actually was friendly with the staff, and they were all sad to see her go. They would joke around with her and everything, so she really appreciated that. She liked the food. She said it was really good. Her room was nice. It's almost like a hospital where you have a roommate sometimes, but for the bulk of it she didn't have a roommate, which is actually good. Her side of the room was nice because it had a pretty window. Overall, she was pretty comfortable there. Their place was good for rehab."

"Our Mom lived at St. Patrick’s for a little over 4 years until she recently passed away. My siblings and I couldn’t find a better place for our Mom to have wonderful medical care, caring aides, social workers and nurses and other terrific support staff. Our Mom enjoyed the camaraderie of wonderful fellow residents. She was a very social person and St. Patrick’s helped to foster relationships between our Mom and other residents and staff. Especially during the COVID pandemic, our Mom stayed healthy and it’s all because of the hardworking and knowledgeable staff there. Mom’s final years were happy years because of the kindness and support of the wonderful staff and residents of St. Patrick’s. We will be eternally grateful to them all. "

"My mother was placed to Carlyle House. I cannot be happier with care and staff. They make her comfortable and relaxed, they bring physical therapist and dietitian to her, they consider her likes and dislikes. The best care I would wish to anyone!"

"My dad is still at Casa de Ramana. The staff is terrific. He is getting good care. It seems to be clean. The food is bland and not particularly interesting, but I don't think that's different in any other place. I don't think it's better or not as good as any other place. It's similar to hospital food. The staff are wonderful. I would recommend it. This place is not particularly convenient geographically for us, but it was the place that was accepting COVID-positive patients. It's not a long-term care facility; it's a rehabilitation facility. In my dad's situation, he was recovering from COVID. There were only two facilities the hospital could discharge him to, and this one had a bed. Basically, that's kind of how the decision making happens in these cases."

"My father went here for rehab after an extended hospital stay. They were supposed to help recondition him so he could return home. They did little to nothing, despite my father being willing and eager to participate in order to return home. When I did bring him home, he could barely get out of the car or up the steps to the house. When we would visit him at the facility - which was ever day for several weeks, he seemed reticent to talk about his care, as time went on, I sensed that he was afraid to speak negatively about the staff and it seemed like certain orderlies made him nervous. The place looks nice and it was clean, but as another reviewer noted, it is very cold and impersonal - and that includes the staff. It was always as quiet as a library and I never saw anyone socializing. There were no indications that any sort of social activity was going on in the facility. My father ultimately had to return to a nursing home a few months later. We did not go back to Wingate of Sudbury. We took him to a "lower rated" facility which was far better. It wasn't as fancy. The rooms had tile instead of carpet, but the staff was warm and personable and they had activities going all day even on the Alzheimer's unit. And you could see many residents strolling the halls and talking to one another and most noticeably, they were smiling. You really have to visit these facilities for yourself and pay attention to the people - both the residents and the staff. Ask to see the common rooms - are they empty or are activities going on? Visit at different time of the day. Ask what time breakfast is served and when it typically ends - that is when some facilities line up their resident to sit in the halls along the wall in their wheelchairs where they just sit silently and stare at one another. I did not see that at Wingate, but I did at other facilities I inspected. There are many good facilities out there, but I would not recommend Wingate of Sudbury. "

"My mom is in a long-term care facility in Ashland called Waterview Lodge Llc, Rehabilitation & Healthcare. The place is clean and the staff seems to be very caring and friendly. They're taking care of her needs. She has her own room although the room is set up to handle two people. So far, it's been good."

"I found Bethany Health Care Center for my friend, and she has moved in. We chose it because of the caring nature of the nursing and ancillary staff, as well as the unit that she is on. It's a locked unit, which is what she needs. They are very clean. It is a positive atmosphere because of the staff. They keep her busy with music and word search activities. They have different discussions during the day. They have exercise. There is a Namaste room, if she needs it. The food is very good."

"The Shrewsbury Rehabilitation Facility was amazing, it helped me get back on my feet after my ankle surgery. I spent 2 1/2 months and want to thank the staff for helping me over and above what I needed. The facility was clean and kept nicely. I want to give a special thank you to Heather, Brad, Karen, Attila, Rosie, Maryann, and all the nursing staff. I would recommend your facility with 2 thumbs up. Thank you for all your support."

"My father is a resident of this facility and has received excellent care since he arrived 4 months ago. The staff and nurses are friendly, knowledgeable and take the time to talk to me or call whenever needed. The facility is clean and very home-like. It is a small facility which appeals to ne. The food looks excellent. I am very pleased with this nursing home. "
