Prescott House in North Andover is licensed as a nursing-home community and is equipped to manage both long-term and short-term clinical needs. Residents have access to around-the-clock nursing oversight, and the facility accepts respite stays for people who need temporary recovery support after surgery, illness, or caregiver absence. On-site physical therapy services are available, allowing residents to work with rehabilitation professionals without leaving the building. Treatment plans are coordinated with physicians and adjusted as recovery goals change.
To back up these clinical offerings, the community maintains an emergency call system in resident rooms and common areas so staff can respond quickly to urgent needs. Licensed nurses are on duty throughout the day and night, and certified nursing assistants provide routine care such as medication reminders, mobility assistance, and help with activities of daily living. Regular care plan reviews and family conferences ensure that services remain aligned with each resident’s current health status.
Accommodation options include private and shared rooms. Many units are equipped with cable television, wireless internet access, or a computer terminal, and several open directly to landscaped outdoor areas that can be used for fresh air or visits with family. The building is pet friendly, but not all units have the same layout or amenities, so prospective residents should confirm availability of specific features during a tour.
Three meals are prepared daily, and menu planning takes therapeutic diets and personal preferences into account. Staff monitor nutritional intake, and alternate selections are offered for residents who need texture-modified meals or controlled portions. Family members may arrange to dine with residents, and care team members communicate any diet changes to the kitchen.
Residents have access to an activity center for group programs and exercise sessions, a library and computer lounge for quiet reading or internet use, and organized clubs and communities that encourage social interaction and mental engagement.
