Chestnut Woods Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center

Chestnut Woods Rehabilitation & Healthcare Center sits at 73 Chestnut St, Saugus, MA, and serves people needing both short-term rehab and long-term care, so there's always a mix of folks coming and going, and with all sorts of needs. This place works well for seniors who need help with recovery after an injury, surgery, or illness because the staff knows a lot about post-acute care, physical medicine, and offers programs like subacute rehab, orthoWIN rehab, pulmonary rehab, urgent SNF™ service, long-term care, respite stays, and all those special rehab services, so people feel well looked after. The facility aims for a warm, homelike setting with simple touches, and it's got a reputation for friendly faces, helpful aides, and medical workers who've been around a while, so families feel calm dropping off their loved ones, and with their Family Matters Program they try to loop relatives in, too. The center's always trying to shape up, being in the middle of big renovations now, aiming to make things more comfortable, so you see workers fixing places here and there, but the essentials keep going, like restaurant-style meals served every day, rooms having cable TV and high-speed Wi-Fi, and amenities meant for comfort like simple common spaces and in-room features. The care team can talk to folks in English and sometimes other languages, so communication isn't often a problem, plus they keep their provider directory up to date and use credentialing steps to hold standards steady for the different kinds of nursing and supportive services. Chestnut Woods belongs to Providence Health & Services and has ties with the Massachusetts Senior Care Association, which brings in some extra programs and standards. Right now, the facility isn't open for new patients, but they're open to talk about when a spot might become free, and that helps families plan ahead. Their care covers high acuity cases, incontinence care, and several supportive health needs, and with staff focusing on recovery, wellness, and keeping folks as independent as they can be, the goal is always to boost quality of life a bit, not just for the patients but for families, too.
