The Best Nursing Home Communities in Plymouth County, MA

"The entire staff from the nurses aides to management was extremely helpful and friendly"

"My husband was a veteran, so the VA paid for his nine-week stay at St Joseph Manor. It didn't cost us anything for him to have a private, sufficient room. The staff was excellent. The food was good, but he wasn't eating at the end. "

"I cannot speak highly enough of Southwood at Norwell Nursing Home and the outstanding care they provided for my father-in-law. From the moment he arrived, the staff welcomed him with kindness, respect, and compassion, ensuring he was always comfortable and well cared for. The nurses and caregivers consistently went above and beyond, taking the time to engage with him, understand his needs, and provide both medical and emotional support. The facility itself was always clean, inviting, and well-maintained, creating a warm and home-like atmosphere. Communication with our family was excellent—they kept us updated on his health, treatments, and any changes in his condition. It was incredibly reassuring to know he was in the hands of such dedicated and compassionate professionals. Having my father-in-law in such a caring and attentive environment brought us immense peace of mind. I am deeply grateful to Southwood at Norwell Nursing Home for their exceptional care, and I highly recommend them to anyone seeking a high-quality, compassionate nursing home."

"Would like to show my appreciation to Ines for going above and beyond what is asked of her. She is one of the high quality employees working at the Guardian Center. She will go out of her way to help you with any problems you might have. Ines is very polite and never has anything negative to say about anyone. The Guardian Center is so lucky to have her under employment. She is definitely a keeper. Thank you Ines for all you do. Mark"

"My mother needs 24-hour care and is now at Queen Anne Nursing Home. I’m happy and would recommend them to others. Their rooms are homey and not like a hospital bedroom. Patients can put up pictures and bring their own stuff, so it is very nice. Their food is very good. My mother likes it, too. The facility is clean and doesn’t smell. It has a nice living room area and a lot of activities. The facility is very nice in a nice setting. "

"We were impressed with Life Care Center of West Bridgewater. It just seemed as if people were working constantly to maintain and keep everything looking the way it was supposed to be. As far as the rooms, the halls, even the entranceway, and the dining area, everything was very, very clean. They were very, very friendly and very helpful in answering any questions that we had. They've got a rec room where people kind of get together and have these functions. They had a function that day, and it seemed like quite a lot of people participated in it, and they just seemed like a one big group of happy people."

"My aunt is recently deceased after spending three years at Baypointe. It was built within the last ten years or so, and is one of the "deluxe" type nursing homes affiliated with an assisted living community. Overall I found it to be about as good as you could expect. The building and grounds are attractive and well-kept, and the common areas and rooms are kept very clean. I found the staff to be efficient and kind, for the most part - of course there are exceptions as might find anywhere. I only have two complaints: I feel that they fall somewhat short in providing sufficient physical therapy, and also that they should provide more interactive activities for the seniors, especially the ones who are a little further along. I fell that the seniors do spend a bit too much time vegetating, but I realize that it's possible hard to provide that level of care. Also it is quite expensive, but almost all nursing homes in our area of eastern Massachusetts are. So in short, that's why I give four stars - not perfect but above average in terms of facilities and staff. A solid B plus. "

"I didn't know how to tell my aunt that this would be best for her, but I managed. At first, I was concerned and even a bit skeptical. I trusted in myself to provide care for my family. After visiting just once I realized that this was an incredible choice. The faculty are top notch, the facility is homely and everyone is always friendly. My aunt was enjoying herself and that was the most important thing to me. Furthermore, the service they offer is so important to these folks that it made me happy to see how seriously they took their jobs. Aside from the staff, they provide an awesome food service. I can't say enough about it, I really enjoyed eating their myself. Not only that, but if you look at people their they seem happy and content. My aunt raved about how she had made new friends and felt like she had purpose, and this made me feel great. I highly recommend Renaissance Garden to anyone looking for an assisted living home, you can't do better than this place! "

"I can not say it is a pretty place but Dad was at a pretty place that didn't work out we moved him to Blue Hills and they were wonderful. As soon as he arrived PT was working with him .They took him off of horrible sedating drugs and let him be a 88 year old man with dementia. Blue Hills allowed us to spend the last few months of my Dads life with him and not a overly medicated shell of a man. He was allowed to pass with dignity and pain free i am forever grateful for the care and kindness ."

"My mother had a stroke at the age of 67 and lived in a remote cabin in Vermont. My sister and I needed to find a center that would help her recover while getting the medical attention she needed and it had to be near my sister's home in Weymouth. Weymouth Health Care center answered our call and took the time to hear our situation and then helped us step by step in getting the paperwork from the hospital where she just had surgery. When we entered the building they were there to greet us. My mom's room was clean and bright. The facility smelled clean and friendly. The rehab nurses are knowledgable and caring. My only issue is the assistant nurses don't all speak English and sometimes slow to get things done like like showers, etc. My mother got the care and attention needed to get back on her feet. She always seemed very happy and well fed. "

"My wife is a resident in the physical rehab section, soon to be released. Staff very helpfull, professional, and friendly. My wife felt safe, and comfortable while she's been there. Hopefully, we won't have need for this type of care going forward, but if we do, we would not hesitate to use this facility again."

"They place patient care at the top if thier priorities. My mom has severe alz/dementia and I feel very comfortable leaving here here. They communicate with us and take her care seriously."

"In September of last year, I was going down the steps of my deck and fell. It was a nice summer evening and I was in a bit of a hurry. After falling, I knew that something was broken since I could not walk as it was too painful. It turns out that I broke my ankle in 3 places and had surgery the next morning. I live by myself and needed subsequent care and rehabilitation. I went to Kindred and stayed there for 2 months. The staff was very nice and most of the nurses and doctors were very good at what they did. There were a few drawbacks. There was a woman in the room next to me who had her tv on very loud and it disturbed me. (the tv's do not have headphones) I mentioned it to the nurses and they spoke to her about it. It was ok for a few minutes then she turned up the volume once again. I believed that she should have been in a room where she would not disturb other patients. The other drawback was that the facility was understaffed but most of the workers were good at what they did and worked very hard. The other drawback was the doctor who treated me at the facility. I saw him only 3 times during my stay and he acted as if he was in a hurry and didn't care about my welfare. While I was there, I met a few very nice people and still visit them there and talk to them on the phone. "
