Mattapan Health & Rehabilitation Center

Mattapan Health & Rehabilitation Center is a skilled nursing facility in affiliation with Bear Mountain Healthcare, and residents here find a warm, home-like atmosphere where they can personalize their rooms and enjoy visits from family, friends, and even family pets, and it does aim to foster a comfortable living space that feels supportive and helps seniors hold on to their independence as much as possible. The place has 85 certified beds and provides round-the-clock medical attention from a bilingual, multi-disciplinary team of nurses, therapists, and other professionals, with a nurse turnover rate of 26.9%, which is lower than the state average. Care here is personalized; individualized plans cover long-term care, short-term rehabilitation after surgery or illness, memory care, end-of-life and palliative support, neurobehavioral rehabilitation for people with brain injuries, and rehabilitation therapies like physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Staff help residents regain or maintain their independence through rehabilitation, and they offer Sepsis Smart and Fall Prevention programs, a Fight the Flu Campaign, respite care for families needing a break, supportive counseling, and care planning with ongoing health assessments. Services also include nutritional and personalized meal planning by a registered dietician and efforts are made to buy food from approved sources, maintain proper food handling, and uphold dietary standards, but there have been deficiencies identified in areas like nutrition, dietary management, and infection control. The center documents these issues in inspection reports and works at infection control to prevent the spread of disease. Residents can join recreational and social activities, spiritual groups, crafts, and educational seminars. The social service team gives support and guidance through transitions for both residents and families. The center accepts Medicare and Medicaid. While nurse staffing hours per resident per day are below the state average, the focus remains on treating everyone with dignity and respect, and there's a real emphasis on making this a welcoming and nurturing place for seniors with different needs.
