Overview of The Lillie Mansion at Lutheran

The Lillie Mansion at Lutheran is a nursing home offering assisted living, memory care, palliative care, residential care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Worcester, MA. Nursing home and skilled nursing care provide licensed nursing care on site around the clock, while assisted living helps with daily tasks such as dressing, bathing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering.

Palliative care focuses on comfort and symptom management, and residential care provides daily support within a residential setting. Respite care offers a short stay for a family whose usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The range of care levels may be a good fit for a resident whose needs grow over time, because moving between services can allow the resident to remain in the community.

The community has 150 beds. Total nurse staffing is 4h 23m per resident/day, representing the total daily hands-on nursing time assigned per resident. Medicare, Medicaid, and private pay are accepted; Medicare covers short-term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long-term residence, while Medicaid may help when savings do not cover a long stay and private pay uses personal or family funds.

A Walk Score of 88 places the area in the very walkable band, meaning most errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still reach shops, a pharmacy, or cafes independently. Pets are allowed, so residents may be able to keep a pet with them. Rehabilitation services, a Center for Short-term Rehabilitation, and outpatient rehab address both recovery periods and therapy that does not require an overnight stay, while the Hispanic and Latino Welcome Program and Veteran Welcome Program provide named programs for those groups. Ascentria Care Alliance owns the community.
