Long Term Care Or Short Care Rehabilitation
Quabbin Valley is the Preferred Choice for Long Term Care
in the North Quabbin area because of our home-like atmosphere. Our friends
and families know their loved one will consistently receive the most tender
loving care available. And while optimally they might wish to care for
their loved one at home, they recognize that Quabbin Valley improves their
loved one's quality of life by providing:
~Nursing staff availability 24 hours a day, 7 days a week
~The electronic nurse call system, allowing for immediate personal attention
~State-of-the-art safety equipment
~Nutritionally balanced meals prepared under the guidance of our Registered
Dietitian
~Stimulating daily activities catering to individual abilities and preferences
While this list is less than exhaustive, all of the examples point to a
greater peace of mind for our friends and families, the peace of mind that
comes from knowing their loved one is in the most capable and loving of
hands.

opportunities to succeed throughout the day. We’ve created a unique safe and
non-institutional environment for our Alzheimer’s patients. Whether it’s
in our enriching activities, which emphasize remaining rather than lost social skills or
our Reminiscence Therapy, which taps into those happiest of memories. We bolster
confidence… We nurture self-esteem… We encourage laughter. A member of the Governor’s Advisory Council on Alzheimer’s Disease has said
of The Alzheimer Center at Quabbin Valley Healthcare: “The design and décor of
The Alzheimer Center at Quabbin Valley Healthcare so obviously benefits the residents, and
the enriching programs are individualize and wonderful. But what most clearly stands
out is the understanding the staff has for the uniqueness of their residents. It is
truly inspirational… Accolades to their Center.”
