Short-term care is for patients who require rehabilitative or skilled medical services after an elective or acute hospital stay before returning to their home.

Carleton-Willard Village, a Medicare five-star nursing center, was again ranked in the top 3% of Massachusetts nursing homes in patient satisfaction for 2009. We are an excellent choice for patients recovering from a variety of medical or surgical conditions, including:

• Joint replacement or other orthopedic surgery
• Cardiac surgery (valve replacement, stent placement, by-pass surgery)
• CHF (Congestive Heart Failure)
• Emphysema & COPD (Chronic Obstructive Lung Disease)
• Heart Attack
• Pneumonia
• Wound care

If you choose the Village for your recovery you will enjoy an unsurpassed quality of care, including:

• The privacy of your own room (some with shared bathroom);
• A staffing ratio much higher than industry average;
• Caregivers who are all our own employees, with very high longevity;
• Experienced, highly skilled physical, speech and occupational therapists;
• Meals you are sure to like, prepared by the same staff who serve our Independent Living residents;
• Staff dietician to ensure that your food meets your preferences as well as your needs;
• The ability to get admitted in advance of your elective surgery, making the transition from hospital to the Village as easy as possible.
