Woodbriar Health Center Wilmington, Massachusetts 01887

My mom is currently a resident of Woodbriar and has been since 2013. Mom lived alone in Florida for many years before coming to Mass to visit her family. I felt Mom should not be living alone anymore. Then Mom one day was having severe pain, she was transported to the hospital. After a few days she was transported to Woodbriar for inpatient rehab. Therapy plus regulating her Pin medication helped her a lot. Mom did well and all the staff in the rehab department was very helpful, knowledgeable and kind to both my mom and me. The nurses were very compassionate and caring and they took very good care of my mom. Mom really hit it off with some of the nurses; CNA’s and rehab staff too.

Unfortunately Mom was still unable to do some of the simple tasks that she needed in order to come home. A decision was made for her to become a long term resident. It was hard for both my mom and I initially to deal with this news. Moms adjusted after a few weeks once she was moved upstairs. The nurses and CNA’s helped to make her transition a little easier. Some even would go upstairs and visit with my mom or stop and say hello to her when she was in activities. My mom really enjoyed seeing familiar faces.

She has been doing activities and even eating in the dining room. The food is pretty good; mom says it isn’t like our home cooked meals. I have had the chance during cookouts and at functions to join in the meals and it isn’t too bad. There are lots of different activities for everyone to enjoy. Mom loves the music, exercise, field trips and sometime the arts and crafts, bowling and bingo. During the nice weather we enjoy time outside on the porch or in the courtyard. The grounds outside are well kept, the inside is very homey.

The upstairs nurses, CNA’s seem to care about their resident’s needs. Mom has even made comments about how well they treat her. This makes me relax a bit more at ease to hear her say this to me. Some go above and beyond and it is apparently that they love their job. When my mom had pneumonia the staff was wonderful, they treated mom quickly and were there foe her every step of the way. I really didn’t want to move mom to the hospital. It was the right call on so many different levels. When I couldn’t be here they would either call me with updates or I would call the nursing desk to get updates. They were just wonderful each and every one of them. The cleaning crew, kitchen staff, office staff, front desk, social worker are all very nice as well. The staff is there to answer any question I might have, and address any concerns I may have in a timely fashion.

I would recommend this facility!

The care that my grandmother received here during her multiple rehabilitation stays and eventual end of life care was incredible. The fact that they were able to get her well enough to go home was nothing short of miraculous given her conditions. The nurses and CNA's were kind, caring and went the extra mile to make her comfortable. When she was nearing the end of life a staff member sat down, held her hand and helped us to ease her anxiety when we couldn't find the words. They even helped to accommodate our large family so that we could hold a vigil when it was "time." She passed away peacefully and comfortably with her family by her side thanks to the caring nurses and staff. She considered them part of her extended family. The staff at Woodbriar truly cares about the well-being of the residents and their families.

i was very dissatisfied with my experience at Woodbriar. After trying to tell them for over a week that there were issues with my uncle that were not clear, they finally decided he should be checked out further at a hospital. MRI showed he had multiple strokes and he was also dehydrated. After leaving Woodbriar he improved immensely over the next few days. After a week I went to pick up his belongings from Woodbriar, because the director Camille told my family it would cost $400 a day to hold his bed. When I opened a box in front of the nurses (and i'm so glad I opened it there) I was stunned to see it was infested with ants. They tossed all his old food in the same box with his clothes. There was macaroni and meatballs, fruit, pastry, etc. All this food should've been thrown out instead of in a box with clothes for over a week. It was disgusting and completely careless on their part. I've also reported this to the Department of Public Health. I wouldn't recommend this place to anyone.
