I was there for rehab after a hip replacement. Everyone was incredible - best care ever from nursing to OT to PT to the wonderful aides. I am very thankful they were on my journey.

Review for St. Patrick’s Manor – Lourdes Center (Framingham, MA) While I am out of the country, my 91-year-old mother is staying at St. Patrick’s Manor on short-term respite care in the Lourdes Center, which is the memory care section of the facility. I want to express my deep gratitude for the extraordinary care and compassion she is receiving during this time. From the moment she arrived, it was clear that the Carmelite Sisters and the entire team at St. Patrick’s Manor embody a mission of love, dignity, and service. The atmosphere in the Lourdes Center is peaceful and reassuring, and the staff’s attentiveness to the needs of each resident—both medical and emotional—is exceptional. The administration has been professional and responsive, and the caregivers are not only competent but genuinely kind. I feel reassured knowing that my mother is in a safe, nurturing environment where she is treated with respect and compassion every single day. It is never easy to entrust the care of a loved one to others, especially while being far away. But St. Patrick’s Manor, through the dedication of the Carmelite Sisters and their devoted staff, has given me peace of mind and confidence that my mother is in the very best of hands. Thank you for all that you do. — Jeff S.

My mother told me that the staff walked side by side with her and the funeral home director as my father was being taken to his final resting place. Some staff hugged her for us since we're all out of state. To all of the staff at St. Patricks Manor...THANK YOU!!

My mother-in-law is a patient and resident at St Patrick's. She has special needs and the staff do an awesome job not only of taking care of her, they also keep her in good spirits by engaging in conversation and simply listening to her. Thank you Keri, Felix and others for doing a great job.
