Elizabeth Seton in Wellesley, MA operates as a nursing home that delivers 24-hour skilled nursing oversight. Licensed nurses manage medication administration, wound care, and chronic disease monitoring. Short-term respite stays are accepted, giving family caregivers a break while maintaining professional supervision. On-site physical therapy is available for residents recovering from surgery, illness, or injury, with therapists coordinating closely with nursing staff to adapt programs as needs change.
Beyond direct medical treatment, the community maintains routine vital-sign checks, care-plan reviews, and coordination with outside physicians and hospitals. The nursing team works with dietitians and rehabilitation specialists to keep care consistent and compliant with each resident’s healthcare directives. Scheduled transportation to off-site medical appointments can be arranged, and family members receive regular updates on progress and any changes in condition.
Private and companion accommodation options are offered. Rooms may include Wi-Fi connectivity, access to outdoor areas, and nearby parking for visiting family members, though not all rooms include every feature. An outdoor garden provides a space for fresh air and light exercise, and maintenance staff handle routine upkeep to keep areas safe and accessible.
Daily meals are prepared on site and served in a communal dining room. Menus follow nutritional guidelines set by dietitians and can be adjusted for physician-ordered restrictions. Residents who prefer to dine in their rooms can request tray service, and hydration stations remain available throughout the day.
An activity center hosts scheduled programs such as arts and crafts, group games, and educational talks. The library and computer lounge supply reading materials and internet access, while organized social outings offer supervised trips to local attractions. These services are designed to promote engagement and reduce isolation, complementing the community’s primary focus on medical care.
