Putnam Farm at Danvers
4.9

Staff is really nice. They look out for my mother. Like if she misses a meal, they check in on her. Oh the appt transportation is a pain. It's only available 2 days a week half day. Have to get approval ahead of time. And the they drive you but do not assist into building. When it's a large medical bldg this is difficult for someone in a wheelchair.

The food at this community was very good, and we really liked the responsiveness of the staff and the availability the memory care unit had

Complete guide to nursing homes

Danvers, Massachusetts

Nursing Homes

A nursing home offers lodging to at least two seniors who are not related by blood or by marriage to the administrator. A nursing home community offers its inhabitants around-the-clock care administered by registered nurses. These caregivers offer care for seniors who are unable to adequately take care of their own needs due to mental or physical conditions.

This type of community is a helpful and easy care alternative for persons 65 years or older, however nursing homes will frequently admit persons 55 and older seldom heard of in senior care regarding other care types. Many occupants of nursing homes may have behavioral problems, which can consist of resisting assistance, a tendency to wander, or verbal outbursts. A significant number of nursing home occupants are individuals who experience difficulty with hearing and vision, have mental or physical disabilities, require assistance with daily tasks such as walking, or have incontinence issues. Nursing homes are required to provide specialized rehabilitative services (treatment for mental illness or intellectual disability), emergency dental services, medically-related social services, and dietary services to residents. The most frequent mental disease experienced by nursing home residents is dementia, which can cloud their memory recall, and familiarity with their surroundings, and decision making abilities. There are some services that may come at a cost to residents which can include cosmetic and grooming items, specially prepared food, and personal reading materials.
