Life Care Center Scituate

Life Care Center Scituate sits in Scituate, Massachusetts, and provides several levels of help for seniors. Residents here might need independent living, assisted living, or skilled nursing, and this place has programs for each. If someone needs help with Alzheimer's or dementia, they've got care plans just for that, and people who need short-term rehab after a surgery or injury can get therapies like physical, occupational, or speech language therapy from their in-house team of therapists and nurses. There's also 24-hour skilled nursing, wound management, suction, oxygen therapies, and rehabilitation services available, which means folks can get help with many medical needs. The staff puts together care plans that look at each resident's needs, trying to help everyone stay as independent as possible. Life Care Center Scituate has 117 certified beds and usually about 71 people living there each day. It's part of Life Care Centers of America, a large company with over 200 centers in more than 25 states, and the facility in Scituate is managed by a group that includes Samuel Corey, Susan Davis, Todd Fletcher, Lisa Lay, Zofia Long, Aubrey Preston, Forrest Preston, John Stevenson, Richard Swanker, and James Ziegler. The owner, Life Care Centers Of America, Inc., directly controls the center. The center is also connected to South Shore Hospital's Next Gen ACO and Connected Care of Southeastern Massachusetts, so there's some cooperation with local health care. The staff spends a bit over four hours each day caring for each resident, which is more than the average for the state, but the nurse turnover rate is higher than average at about 45.7%. Recent inspections found a total of 20 deficiencies, including some related to infection control and procedures for stopping the spread of infections. While there are amenities and services available, the details aren't all listed out. Residents can take part in housing arrangements, enjoy whatever amenities are on offer, and use various social media platforms like Facebook and Instagram to stay connected. The center aims to help each resident reach their highest level of independence with complete care planning and assessment, offering a range of support options without trying to be perfect, just meeting people where they are and providing the help they need.
