Marian Manor in South Boston, MA, operates as a nursing home, offering round-the-clock skilled nursing for residents who need continuous supervision and clinical oversight. The staff includes registered nurses, licensed practical nurses, and certified nursing assistants who handle routine health monitoring, medication administration, and coordination with attending physicians.
The facility provides targeted medical support for residents managing complex conditions. Respiratory care services are available for individuals who require oxygen therapy, nebulizer treatments, or ongoing monitoring of pulmonary health. Diabetes care is supported through regular blood-glucose checks, insulin management, and diet guidance coordinated with the clinical team. Additional features such as on-site rehabilitation therapies and access to diagnostic services help residents maintain stability and reduce the need for hospital transfers.
Resident rooms offer standard safety features and basic furnishings, and some have direct access to outdoor areas where residents can spend time in fresh air under staff supervision. Because layouts and features differ by unit, not all accommodations include every option, so families are encouraged to verify specific room details during a tour.
Three nutritionally balanced meals are prepared daily, and snacks are available as needed. Menus are designed to align with physician-ordered diets, including carbohydrate-controlled options for residents with diabetes and texture-modified meals when required. Staff remain present during mealtimes to provide assistance or monitor intake.
An on-site activity center supports social engagement and structured recreation, ranging from group exercises to arts programs. Scheduled events are coordinated by the activities team to match residents’ abilities and interests, helping maintain cognitive and physical function while fostering a sense of community.
