He developed an infection and there were no medical providers available. Despite this fatigue and shortness of breath from the infection, he was brought to PT. As his performance was not great given the infection, the PT pushed him and appeared annoyed that my father couldn't do what they wanted. The nurses are incompetent and the aids spend most of tgere time on there phones. Call lights are rarely responded to. Speaking with the higher level administrators was eye opening. No one is competent there. I am a medical professional and know what adequate care is. This facility was reported to the authorities.

The staff has taken good care of me after surgery. I will be going home tomorrow after a long stay.read more

Beware of where your money is coming from- going to and be especially opened eyed about employees in the business office. Be very sure to ask for copies of every transaction made because they will try and secrete any and everything in paper form. Document every incident and file grievences because they make sure those incidents do not have a computerized data based system that stores nor is there a requirement that staff log in any complaints when they happen. If you are not of sound mind or have any mental heath issues they will take advantage of you!

Old Stinky P. spent two weeks at this facility after coming from Spaulding. Was not expecting much…read moreconsidering the comprehensive care he got at the other rehab. The facility is quiet and quite clean and pleasant. Luckily, Stinky got a room to himself even though it was a room for two patients. Wicked lucky! The nursing care was quite good and attentive for the most part. The nurse that worked during the day was very good, and am sorry, forgot her name. The nurses that worked during the evening shifts were awesome. RN,s Ed and Martin could not have been nicer and more attentive to the cranky old dude. The only slight downside was that a few of the aides were not all that great and a bit difficult, but most were ok. They did seem to work hard though. Stinky knows it is not the easiest job. They PT staff were very nice and were very good with their skills. The food was actually quite decent though and they seemed to want to please. That being said, Stinky would not want to spend another two weeks here if he didn't have to, but if he did have to he would put this at the top of the list of placement preferences.

Things have drastically changed at Lasell Village. When our parent arrived 13 years ago, it was a…read morewarm community. Since their current president arrived several years ago, it has become a bottom-line business operation, consistent with her prior experience in the world of hedge fund-backed retirement care corporations. Today, safety takes a back seat here. Diversity is nearly completely absent among residents. Transparency in finances is lacking and leadership is arrogant and defensive. The one saving grace remains the staff who work with residents on a day-to-day basis. They remain caring, dedicated and thoughtful. But the community has become a commodity and the saddest part is that they continue to expand without addressing numerous substantial shortcomings.

When I first entered Briarwood I thought that this is probably as good as it gets ,but I still hate…read morenursing homes .First the pros ,Briarwood has great personal ,the staff keep up religiously with your meds ,and vitals.The daily cleaning starts early ,like 6am,there are sprinkler systems ,good programs ,pleasant dining ,family room and library.The staff is always pleasant smiling greeting you ,helping you with wheelchairs.They have a terrific rehab gym and staff. The cons,the food while acceptable is mostly boring.When trays were delivered to me in my room ,the food was always cold ,all 3 meals.In the diningroom ,ice cold poached eggs were the norm and never were soft boiled.There were always 2 choices for lunch & dinner but heavily weighted with chicken,always decent desert ,but as I said the food was boring and cold .Having come from MGH where the food was always hot and decently cooked.On weekends some of the staff were surly and it could take on occasion an hour to summon a care person. The foors are slippery especially when they are washed daily early in the morning.I cannot understand why they would wash the bathroom floors in the mornings when most people just getting up would use them with walkers or wheelchairs ,a real hazard .On top of having a round commode on an elongated toilet ,meaning you had to stand up to clean yourself and with slippy floors found my feet slipping and almost fell down.Having the flusher and paper on the left meant you had to stand instead of sitting in a wheelchair,while having them on the right side you could reach from your wheelchair ,a very dangerous situation which I pointed out to the staff. In the next room was a patient who would rant and scream daily in the middle of the night,many people,some stroke victims trying to rehab, lost valuable sleep affecting their rehab because they and I where too tired from lack of sleep and couldn't function .This went on for the 40 days I was there ,the whole floor suffered and the facilty tolerated it,that was totally unacceptable .Most rooms were mostly double but 4 people shared a bathroom.My roommate got discharged and I got a very sick person who yelped and moaned all night ,frequently tried to get out of bed setting off bells I could not sleep.I got myself transferred but I was so weakened that I fell.The TV'S where very difficult to change channels ,no remotes you would have to press and press and it would take many tries to change channels,no remotes hereThe bottom line,this nursing home by tolerating disruptive behavior caused me and many others great harm.When this mans family came to visit all 6 would pile into the room effectively keeping me from entering my room.There should be limits ,and that is why I only gave them 3 stars.I am quite bitter and by the way my disruptive room mate wound up with a private room ,while I was scrunched into a small corner of another room .

A family member was recently here for rehab. She had been in rehab in the past at another facility…read moreand this could not have been different from our past experience. Her room was so cramped that in order to make it possible for her to sit in a chair we had to move all of the furniture. As a result she was always in bed if we weren't there to set everything up. The communication was non-existent. We had a meeting with her care team and no one in the meeting had actually worked with her. The food was not good with no choice and she either had to eat in her bed or in the hallway. Although the nurses and aides were pleasant they seemed very overworked. Stay away from this rehab!

My 88-year old aunt recently went to Mary Ann Morse Healthcare Center for in-patient physical…read moretherapy after being discharged from the hospital. I'm sorry to report that the care there is NOT good. In fact, it's terrible. My cousin (a nurse) said that she had to have confrontations with the staff on a DAILY basis because they were "horrible." The aids are rude and hostile foreigners, who barely speak English. Here is one example of the mistreatment my aunt received: Despite having communicated very clearly that my aunt is severely allergic to wheat gluten, the kitchen has REPEATEDLY sent her gluten-containing foods. Naturally, this causes my aunt's stomach to get "upset." She wasn't able to get to the bathroom on time. When this happened, the nurse's aide scolded her and said, "Look at the mess you made!" My aunt was taken aback and said, "Do you think I wanted this to happen??" Then, to make matters worse, she said that the aide was very rough with her as she was cleaning her. What kind of disrespectful nursing care is that??!! My aunt is supposed to have physical therapy, daily, but my cousin said that, many times, "she stays in bed all day." When she does have PT, it is good, but there just isn't enough of it. Half of the time, my cousin said, she would go in to visit, and my aunt wouldn't have her oxygen on! Then, the nurses would proceed to argue with her about whether or not she needed it. (My aunt has fluid in her lungs from cancer!) It hasn't even been a full week yet and we want to transfer her out of this place. I can't believe Mary Ann Morse has the AUDACITY to treat our elderly citizens this way, and then send a bill to insurance and our government, calling it "healthcare." Do I need to I say anything more? Beware! Do NOT go here!

If you love someone, do not bring them into this building.
