Somerset Ridge Center in Somerset, MA delivers nursing-home level care designed for residents who need ongoing medical oversight. The clinical team provides on-site physical therapy to help residents maintain or regain mobility, a structured diabetes care program that supports blood glucose monitoring and medication management, and short-term respite stays for individuals whose primary caregivers are temporarily unavailable. These services are coordinated to meet physician orders and are reviewed regularly to adjust to changing health needs.
Additional support features include an emergency call system that links residents directly to staff at any hour, reducing response time in urgent situations. Licensed nurses and certified nursing assistants are present around the clock to administer medications, monitor vital signs, and follow individual care plans. The goal is to maintain health stability and limit unnecessary hospital transfers while giving residents predictable access to clinical help.
Resident accommodations range from standard rooms to more spacious units, with options that may include central air conditioning, cable television, wireless internet, in-unit washer and dryer, and private phone service. Some areas of the building are pet friendly, and outdoor spaces such as gardens and courtyards provide additional places to spend time. Housekeeping services keep living areas clean, and not every room includes every feature, so prospective residents are encouraged to confirm specific layouts and amenities during a visit.
Meals are prepared on site and served three times daily, with staff able to accommodate most physician-ordered diets. A café with an always-available menu gives residents the flexibility to eat outside scheduled mealtimes and choose lighter fare or snacks as needed. Nutrition staff coordinate closely with the nursing team to support diabetes management and other special dietary requirements.
Residents have access to an activity center for group events, a library and computer lounge for reading or online access, and organized clubs and communities that encourage regular social interaction. These amenities aim to support mental stimulation and foster relationships among residents without requiring them to leave the building.
