I want to Thank The Bostonian for working together getting my dad back on his feet and back home. The care given to him by the Aides and Nurses and the physical therapy department did an exceptional job and I can't forget the haircut or the meals which he had no complaints about. Thank u all for a job well done.

A family member was in rehab and occupational therapy at the Bostonian for approximately 3 weeks. The nursing team, doctors, and other staff were professional, always willing to help, friendly and available to answer questions. Medications were given on time. They made it easier for my family member to get well quickly. Thank you.

Well maintained facility, courteous staff, pretty decent', well prepared and varied food and full Rehab services. We found everyone willing to help and encouraging in the services provided.. it's no doubt a difficult service to provide, but overall the Bostonian deserves high marks for making the effort.

Our family is beyond grateful to the incredible team at The Bostonian Skilled Nursing Facility in Dorchester, MA for their unwavering support, care, and professionalism during our loved one’s recent placement. From our first conversation to move-in day, every step was handled with compassion and attention to detail especially given our loved one's in ability to be ambulatory and limited speech. A special thank you to Solé, the Admissions Director, whose warmth, knowledge, and dedication made all the difference. She guided us through the process with patience and kindness, always making sure we felt informed and supported. Her efforts in coordinating everything as seamlessly as she could gave us great peace of mind. Our family has used this facility on many occasions from respite care to rehabilitation services. The entire staff—from nursing to case management, administration, and caregivers—has been welcoming, attentive, and truly invested in our family members well-being and our family's experience. It is clear that this is a facility that cares deeply and takes pride in what they do. Thank you to The Bostonian team! Huge thank you to Solé for making such a meaningful difference. All of your work is deeply appreciated!

My mother was transferred here after Marian Manor closed. My family and I can not be happier with the level of care and attention my mother has received. They understood that she would need time to adjust and they allowed for that, never pushed or forced her to any thing she wasn’t comfortable doing like activities etc. The have a gently demeanor and treated very well. My mother was a fabulous cook and she enjoys their food, the outdoor space. We enjoy the nursing staff, administrations and the welcome hello from the front desk/receptionist Marilyn
