    Unfriendly understaffed facility, poor care

    I placed my mother here and it was a horrible experience. Staff were unfriendly and clearly understaffed-call lights ignored for hours, aides overworked, poor nursing communication, and she was often left in pajamas or soiled clothes. Rooms were dingy and cramped, floors dirty, residents wandering and yelling for help, and management ignored complaints (I filed with the Department of Public Health). A few staff and one PT were excellent and the dining area/food on some floors was OK, but overall care was subpar and I would not recommend.

    Summary review

    Overall sentiment across these reviews is mixed but leans strongly negative, with recurring and serious concerns about staffing, responsiveness, hygiene, and management. Multiple reviewers reported chronic understaffing that directly affected the timeliness and quality of care: call lights ignored for extended periods (one report cited more than 1.5 hours), long waits for assistance, and residents left alone 24/7 or wandering into other rooms. These delays and gaps in supervision created safety and dignity issues for residents, including being left in soiled clothing, being kept in pajamas unless family intervened, and reports of urine on or around seating areas.

    Care quality appears inconsistent. Several reviewers praised individual employees—some aides and nurses were described as exceptional and attentive, front office staff received positive mentions, and at least one physical therapist was noted as friendly. A minority of families said their relatives were very well cared for and had many daily activities. However, these positive accounts sit alongside numerous reports of subpar care: aides perceived as overworked or absent, poor communication from nursing, dietician, and therapy staff, and an overall impression that the facility cannot reliably meet residents' needs. Reviewers also noted variability by location or floor, with the second floor described as better than the first in at least one account.

    Safety and hygiene concerns are a prominent and alarming theme. Multiple reviews mention soiled residents and areas, urine on the floor, dirty or dingy rooms, used gloves left on the floor, and floors that felt sticky. These issues suggest systemic lapses in housekeeping and direct care protocols. Several families reported that staff appeared to shrug off these problems or blame the resident rather than take corrective action. There are also reports of residents yelling for help and wandering, which combined with slow or absent responses increases risk of falls, exposure, or neglect.

    Facility environment and amenities drew mixed comments. The dining room was described as lovely by some and the food as tasty and well balanced in some reviews, while others called the food merely "okay" or "horrible." There is a notable absence of comfortable sit-and-talk spaces and no outdoor visiting area according to reviewers, which contributes to feelings of isolation for residents. Room layouts were described as small and odd by some, and several reviews described rooms as dark, dingy, or confined. Some families noted planned improvements such as repainting rooms, indicating at least some maintenance activity.

    Activities and social engagement appear inconsistent. Some families reported many daily activities and an engaged environment, while others said residents were not offered activities, left without companionship, and effectively isolated. This inconsistency suggests programming may depend heavily on staffing levels or specific shifts/units and may not be reliably provided to all residents.

    Management and leadership are frequent subjects of complaint. Reviewers repeatedly described poor responsiveness from administration, lack of follow-up on phone calls, shifting blame onto residents, and high staff turnover. Several families reported filing complaints with the Department of Public Health and not seeing improvements. These management issues are presented as underlying drivers of the day-to-day problems: staffing shortages, inadequate training or oversight, and inconsistent enforcement of cleanliness and care standards.

    In summary, while there are clear, specific examples of compassionate and competent staff and some positive experiences—particularly on certain units or with individual caregivers—the dominant pattern in these reviews is one of understaffing and inconsistent care leading to delayed responses, hygiene and safety lapses, and family frustration with management. Prospective residents and families should be aware of the polarized experiences: you may encounter excellent individual caregivers and decent dining/activities in some cases, but multiple reviewers document systemic problems that have led them to file regulatory complaints and would cause many to avoid this facility for a loved one.

    About Beaumont Rehab & Skilled Nursing Center - Westboro

    Beaumont Rehab & Skilled Nursing Center - Westboro belongs to the SALMON Health and Retirement family and sits as a large nursing home where people get help with daily life and health, focusing on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, long-term support, and various therapies. The facility manages 152 certified beds, and usually cares for around 136 residents a day, offering private suites and shared rooms, each with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and WiFi, which people appreciate for comfort though it does feel like a busy place with a lot of folks coming and going, and the nurse turnover rate sits higher than average. Residents have daily needs met, like help with dressing and bathing, medication management, and meals cooked and served, and there's always someone available with 24-hour supervision and call systems in place, so there's a sense of safety even for those who wander or need more security, especially for memory care.

    The center has programs for short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, ongoing long-term care for those with chronic illness, and helps all sorts of people with many health problems, using an interdisciplinary team involving physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, and more, all with skills in things like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other specialty services such as dental, vision, and psychiatry. There is also the Tapestry Memory Care program-they handle Alzheimer's and dementia in a more focused way. Residents can join therapy sessions every day of the week, including balance exercises, gait training, and wheelchair services, and those who finish their rehab sometimes use SALMON Home Care for continued help at home. There's a commitment to patient-centered care, respecting residents' choices, frequent communication with family, special education for staff, and attention to safety like fall prevention and trying to avoid too many unnecessary medicines.

    Amenities cover basics like housekeeping, linen service, transportation to appointments, telephones, internet, cable, and meals, and the atmosphere aims to feel warm and flexible, to help everyone reach the best health and independence possible. There's a special effort to offer dignity, focused quality, and a safe, well-monitored environment, but public inspection reports show the place faced 23 deficiencies, including not always coordinating well with required screenings, missing some trauma-informed, culturally aware care, and one infection-related issue, yet these didn't lead to actual harm though they could have been better. The facility runs under the leadership of Lisa Coppola and Continuing Care Management LLC and keeps a steady focus on improving things like antipsychotic use and resident quality of life. Families find the staff knowledgeable and communicative, but nurse staffing hours come in below the state average, so folks who want more one-on-one attention might notice that. All in all, this is a place with lots of support and programs for older adults needing different kinds of care, where safety, routine, and rehabilitation stand out, though it's not without areas that need work.
