Westborough Healthcare is a medium-sized, for-profit facility offering both short-term rehabilitation and long-term care services. With a capacity of 117 beds, this healthcare provider participates in both Medicare and Medicaid, enabling it to serve a broad spectrum of residents who may require skilled nursing and medical attention. Residents at Westborough Healthcare commonly include individuals recovering from hospital stays due to events such as stroke, heart attack, infections, or accidental injury, as well as those needing ongoing assistance with daily activities.
The facility is not a part of a continuing care retirement community and does not function within a hospital campus, positioning itself as a dedicated option for post-acute care and long-term nursing services. A central focus of Westborough Healthcare is helping residents in regaining or maintaining their independence, where services target abilities such as mobility, eating, personal hygiene, and other daily living tasks. Around 45.4% of discharged residents are able to return to their homes, signaling emphasis on rehabilitative outcomes. Short-term stays are supported with approximately 3 hours and 4 minutes of nurse staffing per resident per day, a level maintained consistently throughout the week and weekends.
In terms of clinical care and safety, Westborough Healthcare implements measures to prevent major injuries, with a record of 0% of residents experiencing falls resulting in fractures or dislocations during recent assessments. However, 6.3% of short-term rehabilitation stays did involve serious infections that required hospitalization, and 13.4% of residents had to visit the emergency room during their stay. For long-term care residents, the facility has maintained a rate of 1.8 emergency room visits per 1,000 patient days, and 75.4% of individuals managed to maintain their ability to perform basic self-care activities without additional help. Preventative care importance is evident from the high flu vaccination rate, covering 91.4% of residents.
The environment at Westborough Healthcare is structured for both safety and respect for personal rights and preferences. The team is tasked with maintaining resident-identifiable information securely and following orders and preferences outlined in each individual's care plan. Staff assists residents in daily activities as needed, including specialized care such as management of continence and urinary catheter support, to prevent the occurrence of urinary tract infections. They also strive to provide appropriate supervision to reduce accident hazards throughout the premises.
Recent inspection findings indicate ongoing efforts to enhance quality and safety. Areas addressed have included protecting residents’ rights regarding treatment choices, keeping medical records updated and confidential, and reporting of any situation affecting residents to their physicians and families. The facility has paid fines in relation to some of these concerns, with a total amount of $44,295 issued over the past three years.
Westborough Healthcare’s mission is to provide a supportive, attentive, and medically comprehensive environment for seniors, whether they are rehabilitating after a hospital stay or seeking ongoing support for daily living.
