My parents have been at Sarah Brayton for almost two months. They are having their typical adjustment, ups and downs. We have been working closely with the staff to make sure everything goes as smoothly as possible. My dad was having a medical issue, and the staff was doing their best to tend to him. On Saturday night, my dad took a turn for the worse. I cannot say enough about how the nurse, Heather, and the CNASs, Laurie and Lucy, handle a very difficult and messy situation. Laurie jumped right in, taking care of my dad, while reassuring my mom that he was going to be ok. Lucy swiftly got the supplies, and everything needed, to handle a chaotic scene, also, while reassuring my mom. Heather immediately took control and got the ambulance there quickly. She met them and ensured all the paperwork was ready to go. That way, the EMTS could get my dad to the hospital right away. Their quick and professional handling of the situation was paramount in my dad's care. These 3 ladies were exceptional from beginning to end.

My Dad, sadly, was at this facility for 7 months. The full time staff were compassionate and kind. Hospice was incredible. This facility needs a major facelift. It’s incredibly sad to see a beloved parent in a facility like this. I wish we’d taken him home with us, but the doctor and nurses advised against it. I’ll regret for the rest of my life that by Dad passed here, overnight alone. God bless all who reside here.

My family member has been here for several months. With any new situation, you always have concerns. I found that voicing your concerns also helps the staff to better know the patient. I have had great communication with the unit manager on the Charlton Unit. Several CNAs are very very good at what they do. I will definitely pass their names on to their managers. Sarah Brayton is kept very clean. It's never an easy decision to place a loved one in a home. I do believe staffing issues exist in every nursing home. But overall I've been satisfied with the care my family member is receiving.

My experience with Sarah Brayton has been wonderful. The nursing and therapy staff are caring, patient, and truly go above and beyond for their residents. The big building is beautifully decorated, clean and welcoming leaving a warm, positive experience the moment you enter. The activity staff is always creative where you can tell they take pride in what they do. Highly recommend to anyone looking for a short term or long term stay for their loved ones.

My grandfather was here for end of life care on the Pocasset unit and I cant say enough about the compassion and professionalism of the staff here. Huge props to the Activity Department Sheryl & Janish for putting together events the long term residents & short term patients > really look forward to! It is never easy to have family in a setting like this but having something to do with your day helps the transition easier.
