Sea View Convalescent And Nursing Home, sometimes called Sea View Retreat, sits in a quiet part of Rowley, Massachusetts at 50 Mansion Drive and provides both convalescent and skilled nursing care for people who need long-term support, and people say the staff are caring, patient, and treat residents kindly in what feels like a family-style place, though it's owned by a for-profit corporation and is part of both Medicare and Medicaid. The facility has 62 certified beds, a current resident count of about 51, and nurse staffing that includes RNs, LPNs, and CNAs, offering about 1.97 nurse and aide hours per resident, with scheduled health checks, help with bathing, dressing, getting in and out of bed, and managing continence, along with medication help and a focus on safety and supervision. Staff monitor residents' daily needs, pain, pressure sores, and infection risk, and the home gives flu and pneumonia shots to almost every resident and keeps track of many health indicators, fitting each care plan to what the person needs, including diabetic and non-ambulatory care, incontinence care, and other complex health needs.
Sea View has both private and semi-private rooms with private bathrooms, cable TV, a kitchenette, telephone, air conditioning, and wi-fi, as well as spaces like a big living room, a movie theater for film nights, a fitness and wellness room, an arts and crafts space, a game room, a library, and outdoor spaces with walking paths and a garden. Residents and families can join councils, have input, and join activities, since the home offers card and board games, fitness classes, birthday and arts parties, devotional activities, community events, and both indoor and outdoor programs, with some done by residents and some run by the community. There's a dining room with restaurant-style dining, and the meals, prepared by a chef and planned by nutrition staff, can be pureed, diabetic-friendly, allergy-sensitive, or fit special diets, and snacks are always around.
For comfort and convenience, there's housekeeping, laundry, linen service, home upkeep, move-in help, transportation for residents, parking for guests, a hair salon, safe grounds, emergency pull cords, 24-hour staff and call systems, and small pets are allowed. There's a mix of communal and private living, along with supervision for showers, transfers, and activities of daily living plus fitness programs. Sea View accepts both Medicaid and Medicare, and the building has sprinklers for fire safety. The facility has received some health and safety citation deficiencies in the past about resident rights and safety but has documented corrective actions. Sea View Convalescent And Nursing Home serves older adults needing both basic and skilled care in a steady, clean, and straightforward place that seems to focus on health, comfort, and social support, and it's known for having a pleasant atmosphere where staff do their best to make each day better for the people living there.
