    Compassionate staff but inconsistent, unsafe

    I've had a mixed experience: the building is clean and homey, many nurses, CNAs and therapists are compassionate, professional and attentive (Kerry and several aides stood out) and rehab often produced great outcomes. But staffing is inconsistent - I've seen short-staffing, ignored patients, poor communication, rude front-desk/staff, missing belongings, missed wounds/infections and even unacceptable end-of-life care that led to emergencies. Overall it can be excellent, but quality and safety vary enough that families should monitor care closely.

    About Sunny Acres Nursing Home

    Sunny Acres Nursing Home sits right on Route 129 off Route 3 in Chelmsford, MA, close to Route 495 and served by the LRTA bus line, so getting there's not hard at all, and the main address stands at 254 Billerica Rd. Since 1948, the staff have provided skilled nursing, assisted living, and memory care, with a direct and steady approach to helping seniors get what they need for their daily lives. The building holds 93 beds, including special bariatric beds, and offers private or semi-private resident suites, some with kitchens, bathrooms, and balconies that're centrally heated, where you'll find rooms furnished and suitable for wheelchairs, plus emergency alert systems to help with safety, which makes it easy for residents with limited mobility to live more safely. The place uses Wanderguard safety features and has extra support for people who need wheelchairs or aren't able to walk, so they keep track and keep folks safer.

    Skilled nurses and other licensed staff provide 24-hour supervision, support, and medical care, working directly with residents' healthcare providers for things like medication management, wound vac service, and even ostomy care, while there's organized care for people with mild cognitive impairment and dementia, including a secured memory care setting with special programs. The nursing home offers services like meal preparation, housekeeping, personal care, and grooming, and helps with dressing, bathing, transfers, and other activities of daily living, with special attention for those who need a little extra time or help. Residents can use the community dining room, enjoy movie nights, take part in recreational and social activities, or join community-sponsored events, with phone access available in rooms.

    For medical and rehabilitation needs, they provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy, including geriatric rehab for mobility and speech or swallowing issues, which helps people stay as active as possible; long-term care, chronic illness support, and short-term rehab or respite stays are available, as is hospice on request. Special programs include diet and nutrition counseling, evaluations for medication, and help for those recovering from hospital stays or managing complex health needs. Housekeeping and various therapies keep things going in everyday routines. Frank McGuire serves as the Administrator here, and the facility's Medicare-certified. Sunny Acres Nursing Home's straightforward in its approach, aiming for comfort and steady support without fuss or too much fanfare, and it's kept doors open for generations.
