We were so fortunate to have an amazingly compassionate, thoughtful and caring hospice team at…read moreFaith and Family. All members of the team were tightly coordinated and in sync in supporting us as my husband's transition accelerated after a very painful fracture of the shoulder. From Faith, a very experienced hospice aide, to McKenzie, the case manager who visited us almost every day, to Connie the weekend nurse whose wisdom, insight and patience carried us forward, to Catherine, the social worker, Valerie, Reiki specialist, and Frank the Chaplin - all brought unique and supportive perspectives as we navigated this challenging time. My husband and I wanted to do hospice at home and as his decline accelerated, this hospice team made the journey possible. I am forever grateful for the wonderful care my husband received and the comfort care my family was given. I would strongly recommend this hospice! Hard to express how truly outstanding the team was!!

If someone was unable to answer a question, they admitted it & got the answer for us. As a nurse, I can be very picky with medical care. We were so lucky to have Lindsay as the primary nurse for my mother in law. She guided the entire family ( 6 children!!!) through the dying process. She was able to anticipate needs of everyone & facilitated them, while always putting my mother in law first. She was also able to arrange for a well needed massage from Poppy who was perfect. I cannot say enough about this hospice team!!! The best- don't go anywhere else.

Salmon Health & Retirement gives inadequate care. The nursing staff is very good but they have too…read moremany patients and I'm sure Salmon is compliant with government regulation for staff to patient ratio, however, the needs of the patients are often not met. The rehab is not well kept and patients are left in beds and/or in wheel chairs for hours on end. The aides are not well trained and some neglect and verbally abuse the patients. Some disoriented patients wander around in and out of rooms and hallways unnoticed by staff. The food is often cold and the staff does not always have the same clinical information about each patient. I will go so far as to say this is neglect and abuse. I do not recommend Salmon Health and Retirement for any level of care, Assistant Living, Rehab and skilled nursing. Julie, visitor and family member.

Ten years ago I visited the Willows (a Salmon senior living community), in Worcester, with my then…read more83-year old Mom, and was impressed with what they had to offer. At that time, my Mom wasn't ready to move. This past October, my Mom needed to be placed into a nursing home. I chose Beaumont in Natick, due to high ratings and the proximity to where I live. My Mom passed away last Tuesday. In all candor, this last 9 months was very frustrating. The facility is understaffed and the staff is completely overworked. I visited almost daily. If I hadn't, honestly, I feel that my Mom would have been very neglected. When I went to her dead body, and to call the funeral home, the staff was completely cold and detached and I received no direction whatsoever. What happened to once well-run facilities? We paid $14,000 a month, out of pocket. I'd welcome a longer conversation with the Salmon brothers. I wrote to them several months ago and received no response.

They were quoted as saying " that is not our problem" What is wrong with this world we live in. I hope this place closes it's doors for good! It's evil, and poorly run.

I don't know where they find these Dr's, and nurses but they have no idea how to properly care for a human being. I wouldn't let them care for a goldfish of mine. Do not go here! JW

After my grandfather passed she was so anxious and depressed about the possibility of being put in a nursing home. After a lot of phone calls and research, I ended up speaking to Traditions and hired them to provide live in home care for my grandmother. The care she received was better than I had hoped and she is thriving because she was able to continue to live in her own home. The caregivers provided exceptional care and the fact that she was able to stay in her own home has been such a blessing. I would highly recommend this agency to anyone.
