Lasell House in Newton operates as a skilled nursing facility, so residents can expect 24-hour nursing oversight for both long-term care and shorter rehabilitative or respite stays. A licensed clinical team delivers medication management, wound care, and on-site physical therapy, which is available to help residents regain or maintain mobility after surgery, illness, or injury. The therapy department coordinates closely with physicians to set measurable goals and adjust care plans as needs change.

Beyond direct medical services, the building is equipped with an emergency call system that connects residents to staff at any hour. Response protocols are in place to minimize wait times and ensure that urgent concerns are addressed quickly. Routine assessments are completed to track health status, and care plans are updated whenever a change in condition is noted. The focus remains on safety, continuity of care, and clear communication with families.

Housing options include a selection of private and semi-private apartments, some offering scenic views of the grounds or courtyard. Central air conditioning, cable television, wireless internet access, and in-room phones are available in many—but not all—units. Housekeeping is provided, and residents can take advantage of outdoor areas and a landscaped garden when weather permits. The community is pet friendly, although specific pet policies may vary by apartment.

Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with staff able to accommodate most physician-ordered dietary restrictions. For additional flexibility, a café offers an always-available menu so residents can pick up a light meal or snack outside standard dining hours. Hydration stations and routine nutrition monitoring help ensure that dietary goals are met.

Residents have access to an activity center where scheduled programs range from exercise classes to hobby workshops. Clubs and interest groups meet regularly, and a library and computer lounge provides quiet space for reading or internet use. Health and wellness programs are coordinated with the therapy and nursing departments to reinforce mobility, balance, and overall fitness, supporting each resident’s plan of care.
