This care facility provided excellent, compassionate care for my mom during her recovery. The staff was attentive, kind, and kept us well-informed every step of the way. They treated her with respect and made her feel comfortable, which meant a lot to our family. The facility was clean and welcoming, and the overall experience gave us great peace of mind. I’m very grateful for the care she received and would highly recommend this place.

Birch Hill Review Staff is generally nice. The CNA’s, NP’s and one of the RN’s were very helpful and understanding. PT/OT people were also good. Some of the other staff could work on their personal skills. First day there and a lady asked my mom if she’s “sure” that she doesn’t want a DNR on my dad then proceeding to tell her own story about how her grandma died in a similar situation is wildly unprofessional. I think they’re understaffed and struggling. The care varies from shift to shift depending who’s on and that is unacceptable. A call light on for over a half hour and no one coming to check on the room is insane to me. I finally went to get someone and found the RN on duty sitting at the desk with the excuse that she was waiting for her aide. Couldn’t be bothered to walk down the hall and check that everything was ok? What if he’d fallen and couldn’t get up? Just assume you know what was needed? Again, unacceptable. With the amount of care my dad needed after 2 surgeries and 2 minor strokes, they weren’t cutting it. Got him out of there as soon as possible. Unrelated to staffing, the building could use a makeover. Very dull and depressing and smells as old as it looks.
