Overview of Sancta Maria

Sancta Maria in Cambridge, MA, runs a nursing home, and skilled nursing belongs to it too. It also has hospice care and respite care. Nursing support at both levels is ongoing, and hospice care serves residents nearing the end of life. A family whose caregiver has surgery coming up can use respite to cover their recovery period. Sancta Maria has 141 beds in all.

Of the three payment routes, Medicare is the narrowest, since it pays only for short skilled care after hospitalization, never for long-term residence. Medicaid comes in when savings fall short over a long residence, and private pay means paying the bill directly. Every resident averages four hours and twelve minutes of nursing time a day.

Overview of Fairhaven Healthcare Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing

Fairhaven Healthcare Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing offers nursing home, hospice care, memory care, respite care, and skilled nursing in Lowell, MA, in the Pawtucketville neighborhood.

Hospice care supports residents receiving end-of-life care, and respite care offers a short-term stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

Rehabilitation services include post-operative care for residents recovering after surgery. Medical programs cover respiratory care, cardiac care, diabetes management, digestive disorder management, pain management, and nutrition and hydration management, so residents with these documented needs can receive care within the nursing setting. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs supervised memory support or for a family seeking a temporary care arrangement.

Fairhaven Healthcare Center for Rehabilitation and Nursing has 169 beds, accommodating more residents and staff, with usually more programming than a smaller community. Total nurse staffing is 3 hours and 47 minutes per resident per day, representing the daily nursing time allocated to each resident.

Residents can use the patio as an outdoor area and choose from a dining menu with a variety of options. A Walk Score of 40 out of 100 places the area in a car-dependent setting, so most errands require a car or a ride, which matters for a resident who no longer drives independently.
