Everyone is amazing. The care given to my mother (85) is beyond anything that we have ever expected!! Her day is filled with activities that the staff make sure she is engaged in. The food is amazing! The field trips make her smile!! So wonderful!!

The Residence at Paine Estate in Wayland, MA

As I expected; pleasant. Food needs to improve; there are more people with memory problems than I expected.We picked this community because of the location, ambiance, and the fact that rooms are live in place.

Complete guide to nursing homes

West Groton, Massachusetts

Nursing Homes

A nursing home community offers residence to at least two individuals who have no family relation to the administrator. This type of residence offers its inhabitants 24-hour care by on-site nurses. These nurses offer care for people who are unable to care for their own needs due to mental or physical conditions.

This type of community is a familiar and comfy living choice for persons 65 years or older, however nursing homes will allow access to individuals 55 and greater (a rarity in the realm of senior care).Examples of amenities and services offered at nursing homes can include patient and caregiver education, skilled nursing or medical care, intravenous or nutrition therapy, and bill pay. Nursing homes are required to provide nursing and related services, specialized rehabilitative services (treatment for mental illness or intellectual disability), a professionallly directed program of activities, and emergency dental services to residents. The most frequent mental disease experienced by nursing home residents is dementia, which can cloud their memory recall, and their sense of familiarity, and decision making capabilities. Many residents of nursing homes are humans with , which can span verbal lash-outs, resisting care, or an inclination to wander. As a resident of a nursing home, you can expect the right to be treated with respect, have protections against involuntary transfer or discharge, get proper medical care, and exercise your rights as a U.S. citizen.
