Beaumont Rehab & Skilled Nursing Center - Westboro belongs to the SALMON Health and Retirement family and sits as a large nursing home where people get help with daily life and health, focusing on skilled nursing, rehabilitation, long-term support, and various therapies. The facility manages 152 certified beds, and usually cares for around 136 residents a day, offering private suites and shared rooms, each with private bathrooms, air conditioning, and WiFi, which people appreciate for comfort though it does feel like a busy place with a lot of folks coming and going, and the nurse turnover rate sits higher than average. Residents have daily needs met, like help with dressing and bathing, medication management, and meals cooked and served, and there's always someone available with 24-hour supervision and call systems in place, so there's a sense of safety even for those who wander or need more security, especially for memory care.
The center has programs for short-term rehabilitation after a hospital stay, ongoing long-term care for those with chronic illness, and helps all sorts of people with many health problems, using an interdisciplinary team involving physicians, nurses, social workers, therapists, and more, all with skills in things like physical therapy, occupational therapy, speech therapy, and other specialty services such as dental, vision, and psychiatry. There is also the Tapestry Memory Care program-they handle Alzheimer's and dementia in a more focused way. Residents can join therapy sessions every day of the week, including balance exercises, gait training, and wheelchair services, and those who finish their rehab sometimes use SALMON Home Care for continued help at home. There's a commitment to patient-centered care, respecting residents' choices, frequent communication with family, special education for staff, and attention to safety like fall prevention and trying to avoid too many unnecessary medicines.
Amenities cover basics like housekeeping, linen service, transportation to appointments, telephones, internet, cable, and meals, and the atmosphere aims to feel warm and flexible, to help everyone reach the best health and independence possible. There's a special effort to offer dignity, focused quality, and a safe, well-monitored environment, but public inspection reports show the place faced 23 deficiencies, including not always coordinating well with required screenings, missing some trauma-informed, culturally aware care, and one infection-related issue, yet these didn't lead to actual harm though they could have been better. The facility runs under the leadership of Lisa Coppola and Continuing Care Management LLC and keeps a steady focus on improving things like antipsychotic use and resident quality of life. Families find the staff knowledgeable and communicative, but nurse staffing hours come in below the state average, so folks who want more one-on-one attention might notice that. All in all, this is a place with lots of support and programs for older adults needing different kinds of care, where safety, routine, and rehabilitation stand out, though it's not without areas that need work.
