About Us - Care Philosophy

The mission of Glen Ridge Nursing Care Center is to provide the finest quality health care, rehabilitative and support services to our residents and their families.

 

Our care approach is patient-centered and involves an integrated program of therapies that address the total well- being of our patients. For each resident, we create an individual care plan and assemble a care team that may include specialists from several areas. The goal is to design a course of treatment and therapy that best meets the needs of the resident.

A Top-rated Health Care Center
Glen Ridge Nursing Care Center is one of the highest-rated health care centers in the state of Massachusetts. Our center was recently awarded a "deficiency-free" rating from the state department of health. This is your assurance that the care given to residents at Glen Ridge meets the very highest standards.

Hospice Care
Glen Ridge provides palliative and end-of- life hospice care through contracts with two local hospice providers. The goal of the hospice team is to this time as comfortable and peaceful as possible for your family. The hospice team typically includes nurses, social worker, home health aides, clergy, and volunteers.

Alzheimer’s and Dementia Care
The award-winning Linden Unit at Glen Ridge was carefully designed to meet the care, comfort and safety needs of Alzheimer’s patients. In the Linden Unit, Alzheimer’s patients receive the compassion, assistance and supervision they require. Appropriate activities, including opportunities for socialization, are offered. The Linden unit has its own dining room where residents can eat independently or with assistance as needed.

Skilled Care
Glen Ridge offers a full array of skilled care services, including IV therapy/antibiotics/ hydration, wound care, enteral nutrition (PEG/NG), infection control program, cardiac monitoring, podiatry, oxygen and more. Transportation for dialysis treatments is also available at the resident’s own expense.

Special Outings
We believe it is important for our residents to enjoy outings into the community for recreation, dining and shopping. Our schedule includes special trips to local attractions including fairs, parks, parades and more. Our fully-equipped, wheelchair- accessible van makes these outings possible for many residents.
