Braemoor Health Center sits at 34 N Pearl St in Brockton, MA, just down the block from Good Samaritan Medical Center and right on the BAT bus line, so getting there isn't a problem. The building, once a nursing home, is now Brockton's new mental healthcare center with a focus on both medical and mental health care. It holds 120 licensed beds, has a CMS certification, and gets support from Medicare and Medicaid. Boston Medical Center runs the facility, which means they bring in a lot of clinical experience. The center has specialized programs for people with Alzheimer's and memory needs, and they set aside 26 beds for those working through substance use disorders and 56 beds for patients with acute mental illness. The inpatient mental health part has 82 beds all together, and the bedrooms use two twin beds, modern bathrooms, and colorful, soft-plastic furniture with rounded edges for safety and calm. The rooms where therapy happens have plush gray seats, and common areas are full of bright colors and a soft feeling to help people relax.
Doctors, nurses, and other staff take care of physical and mental health with skilled nursing, wound care, and therapies like physical and occupational therapy. Patients get one-on-one counseling, cognitive behavioral therapy, and group therapy sessions, with psychiatric care as a focus. There's plenty of support with things like medication management, meals, and help with daily living. The facility also offers respite care for caregivers who need a break, and the staff helps plan care that's right for each person. Organized resident groups, pharmacy, dental, dietary, housekeeping, and mental health services are all part of daily life there.
Braemoor Health Center welcomes seniors who want independent living with options for resort-style amenities and social activities, though there's not much detail given about those extras. They provide assisted living and memory care programs built for safety, with secure areas and activities that help keep minds active. The staff gets described by families as attentive, professional, and courteous, with housekeeping and therapy teams who treat everyone with respect and a focus on recovery. Reviews mention a caring environment that feels home-like and newly renovated, and the center's known for clean spaces and a gentle approach.
Safety's a priority, so Braemoor uses key-card locks, has a security partnership with Brockton police and fire, and doors in some areas swing both ways to keep people safe. Admission requires a screening and application, and the team makes a point of keeping families informed and engaged. The facility itself runs on geothermal heating and cooling now, and they're planning solar panels so the building can have a net zero carbon footprint, which is unusual for a mental health hospital. Braemoor Health Center doesn't share its prices, but it's rated highly for staff and care, and it serves seniors looking for short or long stays who need help with daily activities, memory challenges, medical recovery, or mental health support.
