Pavilion of South Shore sits as a medium-sized nursing home with 118 beds, offering care for seniors who need independent living, assisted living, adult care, memory care, and skilled nursing, and folks can find a range of services like long-term care, skilled nursing, palliative care, hospice, respite stays, and even rehabilitation if they're coming out of the hospital and need to get back home. The place has specialized programs for Alzheimer's, dementia, and geriatric psychiatry, along with care plans for people who need physical, occupational, or speech therapy, and there's support for people with medically complex needs, including tracheostomy, CPAP, BiPAP, and wound or bariatric care, as well as folks who need daily help with bathing, getting dressed, or managing medications. The staff offers 24-hour nursing care that's watched over by Medical Directors or attending physicians, and the facility uses state-of-the-art medical equipment for rehab and daily health needs; there's help to maintain independence but also close monitoring for safety, with things like handicap accessibility, sprinkler systems, and emergency response features throughout the building. Amenities include semi-private and private rooms, with costs ranging roughly between $6,800 and $13,000 each month, and residents get regular housekeeping, laundry, and meals in dining rooms along with activities like education programs, games, arts and crafts, fitness, and health and wellness sessions, plus access to salons, fitness rooms, TV, WiFi, guest parking, and transportation to appointments or errands.
Pavilion of South Shore is accredited by The Joint Commission and participates in both Medicare and Medicaid, but it's not part of a continuing care retirement community. It operates as a for-profit, corporate-owned setting and has support for home care, home health, hospice, and referrals, which helps connect families to other services as needed. Reviews show mixed results: U.S. News and World Report gives it average (2 out of 3) for long-term care, but below average (1 out of 3) for short-term rehab, with an overall 2 out of 5 stars. The CMS gives Pavilion of South Shore some good marks, like 4 out of 5 for quality measures, but just 1 star for staffing, 2 stars for health inspection, and an overall CMS rating of one star; they also flagged the facility with a consumer alert for documented abuse, and there have been three federal fines totaling over $40,000 in the past three years. There are programs and activities designed to support people socially, emotionally, and physically, and every resident's care gets tailored to their needs, whether they're staying for a short rehabilitation after surgery or planning to live there for good. Room choices let people pick more privacy or share a space, and support staff and therapists work day and night to keep residents comfortable and as independent as possible, even though the ratings and inspection history show there are some things families should keep in mind and ask about if they're considering this facility.
