Bear Mountain at Andover

Bear Mountain at Andover sits at 80 Andover Street in Andover, MA, and provides care for seniors in a setting that overlooks open fields and the quiet beauty of the Merrimack Valley, and when you walk in, you'll notice the facility can provide many kinds of care, which means there's a place for active seniors, those with dementia, and people needing short-term or long-term help, with support for daily living like bathing, dressing, and handling medicine, as well as memory care that focuses on reducing confusion and preventing wandering, with secure areas for those who need it. The place holds 135 beds and takes pride in community awards like Best of Senior Living, Best Activities, Most Friendly, and Best of Senior Living All Star, which recognize the friendly staff and engaging activity programs that try to meet the needs of each resident, whether that means social opportunities, health and wellness options, or skilled nursing. Seniors can pick from private suites or shared rooms, all fully furnished with air conditioning, private bathrooms, telephone, cable, internet, and wifi, and every room is made to be comfortable, whether someone's staying for the short-term-maybe recovering from surgery-or looking for long-term or memory care, or even if someone is there for the physical medicine and rehabilitation clinic or the neurobehavioral program for brain injury. Meals use quality ingredients and aim to support health, plus there's daily activities, help with mobility, and services like meal prep, housekeeping, linen service, transportation to doctors' appointments, and a 24-hour call system for safety, alongside 24-hour supervision, medical supervision, medication management, and help coordinating with other healthcare providers. Staff speak English and work with residents and families on care plans, focusing on exceeding expectations with safe, clean, and supportive care, using resources and technology to make things run well, and while the building can handle many care needs-like short-term rehab, post-acute care, long-term care, or respite care-it's not accepting new patients right now, and there hasn't been a fax number listed, but for seniors who come here, the place tries to bring comfort, a sense of home, and all the support someone might need as they age, whether socially or medically, all in a calm, friendly environment.
