Ellis Nursing Home in Norwood, MA delivers 24-hour skilled nursing care for both long-term residents and short-term guests. A dedicated clinical team oversees medication administration, wound care, and ongoing health monitoring, while a licensed therapy staff provides on-site physical therapy aimed at restoring or maintaining mobility. The community also accepts respite stays, offering families a reliable option when temporary professional support is needed.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the staff assists residents with daily activities such as bathing, dressing, and personal hygiene, and coordinates with physicians and specialists for routine and emergency visits. Care plans are individualized and reviewed regularly to keep pace with changing needs, and discharge planning services are available to help residents transition safely back home or to another setting when appropriate.
Resident rooms are designed for safety and practicality, with wide doorways, handrails, and emergency call systems; some rooms include features like cable TV and views of landscaped grounds, while others may open onto shared outdoor areas or an enclosed garden. Because layouts vary, not every accommodation includes every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to verify specific room details during a tour.
Meals are served in a central dining room where staff monitor dietary requirements and offer texture-modified or therapeutic diets as ordered by physicians. Snacks are available between meals, and a registered dietitian reviews menus to ensure adequate nutrition, proper portion sizes, and compliance with doctor-prescribed restrictions such as low-sodium or diabetic needs.
Residents have access to an activity center that hosts bingo games, arts and crafts sessions, and organized clubs and community groups. A library and computer lounge provides reading materials and internet access for email, research, or video calls with family, encouraging ongoing social engagement and mental stimulation.
