About Garden Place Healthcare

Garden Place Healthcare is a skilled nursing and long-term care facility in Attleboro, Massachusetts, licensed for 133 residents. It serves patients recovering from acute events and those requiring ongoing medical care.

Reviews reveal a sharp divide in experience. Several families praise the clinical and support staff, nursing, physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy, as professional, engaged, and genuinely invested in patient wellbeing. One family noted that staff "from the cafeteria" to clinical areas showed "wonderful" care. Kitchen staff accommodates special meal requests, and families report confident progress in rehabilitation. However, one serious complaint alleges the facility failed to honor a required 14-day Medicaid bed hold after a patient's hospital discharge, leaving that individual without placement and in violation of state and federal law.

The facility building is described as somewhat outdated. The overall Google rating is 2.2/5 across 27 reviews, reflecting the mixed feedback: a cluster of five-star accounts from patients and visitors praising staff dedication and clinical competence, offset by lower ratings that raise compliance and operational concerns.

Did not hold bed/room for patient who was sent out to hospital. Once discharged from hospital a day later, expected to return to room but suddenly no bed available! Medicaid requires them to place a bed hold for 14 days. They did not! This individual had no placed to go, as Garden Place did not follow the MA/Fed. laws! Shameful action, causing extreme harm, placing patient in a dire need. Abandonment! Individual needed nursing services, but administration decided not to hold bed for this patient. English is not their first language, which causes communication difficulties for the patient and family, too. The accents are so strong, creating a harmful environment. Add being sick, fail, elderly, severe medical needs and hearing loss it becomes extremly frustrating and harmful. Patients are at the mercy of the nursing care staff, who don't speak English clearly, all mumbled. Very frustrating for patient and family. Administration needs to address hiring English speaking Nurses/CNA's, as thier residents primary language is English. CNA's and Nurses at this facility would better service patients needs/wellness, with clear English language. In the medical field communication is paramount and should be a requirement.

This facility building is a bit outdated but the staff is what makes it an outstanding place to go for rehab. Every single employee couldn’t have been more helpful or pleasant or supportive. They truly care about the patients.

I was visiting a family member and the nurse Megan was so kind and helpful! She made me feel very reassured that my loved one was being taken care of. Very happy with their progress so far!

I spent a month here in rehab after a seizure that nearly took my life. Upon waking up to realize where I was I was initially horrified but the caring reassuring staff calmed me and attended to my every need. There are so many staff there that are such wonderful people they are a ray of sunlight in a darkened place! I'm not talking about just doctors & nurses, I mean every corner from the cafeteria workers to the lovely woman that washed my clothes...& Ming! He is one of my favorites! If I had to go into rehab again I would certainly choose Garden Place!

Tremendous team of providers. I found the nursing staff, PT. OT and Speech therapy to be professional, fun and more than effective. The nursing staff, Debbie, Sarah and Lu were all very professional and supportive. Craig, in the kitchen hit it out of the park on my special order/alternative meal requests. You just have to know the menu has alternative options which are posted. I am grateful to the whole team of care providers for their attention to detail, great communication, and for helping me recover quickly. Kindest of regards, Doug Burns
