A nursing home is a medical institution designed to provide advanced, skilled medical care for those who need it.

The Gables assisted living has a licensed nurse on staff who performs an assessment of potential residents to determine if we are the right fit. These assessments help us see that our residents receive appropriate care and are among the factors we consider in determining and monitoring staff levels. Even if the assessment determines that the Gables is not appropriate for you, we will help you find somewhere that is. To learn more or schedule an assessment, contact the Gables at 978-343-8789
