John Bertram House
John Bertram House offers assisted living, hospice care, and memory care in Salem, Massachusetts. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps their own living space. Memory care provides a secured setting and supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Hospice care supports residents receiving care at the end of life.
With 25 beds, John Bertram House is a smaller community where staff and residents can get to know one another. Housing includes studios and two bedroom apartments, giving a resident a private space or allowing a couple to move in together. Respite care is available for a short stay when a family caregiver needs to travel or recover.
Residents can use outdoor spaces, visit the beauty salon, and join spiritual, music, fitness, art, and continued learning programs. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet to the community. The community is operated by Sunrise Senior Living. The Charter Street Historic District has a Walk Score of 94, in the walker’s paradise band, meaning daily errands do not require a car and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently. The range of care may be a good fit for a resident whose needs may grow over time, because assisted living and memory care are available within the same community.
