Newbridge On The Charles Skilled Nursing Facility in Dedham, MA provides nursing-home care supported by licensed nurses, certified nursing assistants, and rehabilitation specialists. Residents receive individualized treatment plans that can include daily Physical Therapy for recovery from surgery, injury, or chronic conditions, along with a Mental Wellness Program that screens for cognitive changes and offers counseling or behavioral interventions as needed. Medical oversight is continuous, with clinical staff coordinating closely with primary physicians to adjust medications, monitor vital signs, and track progress.
Around-the-clock staffing is backed by a 24-hour security gate that regulates entry to the property, helping ensure a controlled environment for care delivery. Immediate assistance is available at any hour for medication administration, wound care, or urgent health concerns, and electronic documentation systems help staff keep current records on each resident’s status. The secure setting allows families to know that safety measures support the medical services residents receive.
Accommodations in the assisted-living section vary in layout and view. Some units participate in intergenerational programs that bring school-age visitors to campus, while select residences look out onto landscaped areas influenced by Midwest Village, Nicholas Conservatory, and Anderson Gardens. Outdoor areas with walking paths and seating let residents spend time outside when weather permits, but not every apartment includes all of these features.
Dining operations center on balanced nutrition and consistency with physician-ordered diets. Three meals a day are prepared by culinary staff who work with dietitians to accommodate low-sodium, diabetic, and other specialized menus. Residents may eat in a communal dining room with table service or request tray delivery to their rooms when preferred or medically required, and alternative entrée options are offered at each meal.
Amenities and services include an on-site activity center for social events and classes, access to a personal trainer who can design strength and balance programs, and an outdoor putting green for low-impact recreation and small gatherings.
