About Lafayette Rehabilitation

Families consistently praise the attentiveness and clinical competence of the nursing and therapy staff.

"I recently spent time at The Lafayette Rehab in Marblehead recovering from a fall. I would like to compliment the entire staff on their total commitment to providing quality care. The outstanding physical and occupational therapists created a respectful and encouraging atmosphere as they guided me on my journey to improvement. I was also impressed with the variety of programs provided to keep the residents engaged in activities. My sincere appreciation to one and all at The Lafayette for a memorable experience. You are the best!"

I just wanted to express my gratitude to the staff at Lafayette in Marblehead where my father is residing. The experience with this facility has been positive since his initial admission to the rehab. Specifically, I appreciated the calls I received from numerous different staff upon his admission who sought to learn more about him and his needs in order to provide him with the best care. Since entering long-term care, his health has improved and he has regained strength, in spite of being 100 years old. Administration, nurses, aids, physical therapists — all of the staff we have encountered have been wonderful. The facility itself is homey, clean, and well maintained with fresh flowers, clean linens, and more. Of all the facilities we have been to, this is by far our favorite.

My mom is in full time care at this nursing home. The staff at this nursing home is incredibly skilled, attentive and caring. While the facility is outdated and needs renovation, the older decor actually provided comfort to my elder mom who has Alzheimer's disease. If you are in the process of moving a loved one into a care facility, remember that it is more important that there are good caregivers than beautiful carpets. And that they are likely older than you and their tastes are different than yours. The activities coordinators, the nurses, the aides, the housekeeping staff, the physical therapists, the social workers are all incredible here. It is a small place with big love. Know that even though you are afraid and are inclined to complain as we all are when we are feeling a lack of control and grief, your loved one will be cared for best here. Try to be a nice person yourself - all people respond best to this.

My Father was here, and l found him in a really bad situation, and l call the nurse to help him and his respond was we need to wait for 30 min because his nurse it was at lunch. The other nurses were standing there, hearing us , and no one came to help. And l asked him, if you found your father in this situation , what would you do? And his respond to me was ‘okay , you can report me. I told him, l am not here to report you, l need your help from you and from your staff here, that’s is what l want. Nursing finally came but they seemed upset at me.

As the Administrator of Brookhouse Rest Home, we have had many residents whose families have chosen Lafayette for their loved one who needs more skilled nursing care . Every single one of them has been happy with the care that Lafayette provided. The staff are wonderful and the support of the patients is great. I would highly recommend.
