Sancta Maria Nursing Facility - Cambridge, Massachusetts

This place nearly killed me. I was there from 11/1/22 to 2/16/23. On 2/17/23 I was taken to MGH by ambulance, they found i had my lungs where full with fluid. In the rehab they stuck that stupid thing on my finger and told me my oxygen was fine though I kept telling them I could not breath. I was also malnourished. They were weighing me in the wheel chair and recording that weight which is about 30 pounds extra. I was 114 pounds. From 180 upon admission. Horrible establishment. Dr Michelle Johnson is the worst doctor I ever met. She doesn't care about her patients. Never did a chest xray though that would've shown that I was drowning. The only good people were the therapists

"Home Sweet Home", great place for short-term and long-term rehab/SNF. My dad stayed there for 21 days and had a wonderful time. Loving and caring staff, provide your loved one care they deserve with upmost respect. Very clean and neat facility with good quality fresh food. I will choose this facility over any other facility in the area.

My mother was here for about 6 weeks for rehabilitation. She enjoy the facility. The nurses were on top of her needs. Food was actually pretty good. The attendants made
Sure the environment was clean.

Ready to return home in 2 days.

I could not have been any happier with my Mother's care and recovery. You should have a SIX STAR rating!! The love and compassion that you showed each and every day overjoyed her, as well as all of her children. The activities were fun. The food was great, and the place was immaculate and spotless. May God Bless your nurses and aides who not only have to deal with the very sick and infirmed, but the absolutely CRAZY sons and daughters who place their guilt of NEVER visiting their loved ones, square on the facility and the staff. For almost 3 months,
I'd visit Mom every day and RARELY saw any other family members in there. SO VERY SAD! And then when they did finally visit all they did was yell at the staff about anything and everything. How they treated the staff - and their own parents was disgusting!! I'm sure most of the negative reviews here are from those very same family members, who dumped their Mom or Dad in the building and only visited upon necessity, instead of love and compassion. GOD BLESS YOU ALL AT SANCTA MARIA!!!

Thank you to the Sancta Maria team. You simply stand out. Over the past several years, a few of our family members have unfortunately experienced health challenges necessitating a stay in a rehab/skilled nursing facility which takes a toll of course on the patient but also the extended family. It is an anxiety filled experience to put it mildly.

Thankfully and with much appreciation to the entire Sancta Maria team, we have experienced first hand consistent professional day-to-day health care standards and terrific staff care. There is superior competence, responsiveness and accessibility at every level at Sancta Maria. It stands heads and shoulders over the three (3) other facilities that we have unfortunately experienced that are located in the North of Boston/Merrimack Valley region.

GAVE MY GRANDMA THE WRONG DOSE of her heart medication which started causing fluid build up in her legs and then they gave her more pills to solve that problem, which they caused. When she was released from the rehab facility and her legs returned to normal my father realized the reports they were messing her medication up. Also there is constant beeping because they never check on the patients.

My Grandfather had improved at Mount Auburn Hospital and they moved him to Sancta Maria. When I visited him in Sancta Maria, he was a completely different person. He had completely regressed and even got worse. He was sent back to the hospital to die. This place was dirty (saw blood on the wall and floor), the staff was cold and uninterested (and didn’t speak English), and they apparently completely neglect the patients they’re supposed to “care” for. If you care about someone in Sancta Maria, get them out now.

My 89 year old great grandmother was a patient there after being hospitalized for a fall. She was doing great beforehand. Didnt need a cane, nothing. She was walking great, just some balance issues which caused the fall. While a patient there, she got very depressed and said that they didn’t treat her right. I felt so bad. And after returning home, she quickly went down hill. Her health decreased fast, and her walking ability was saddening. She went from a cane, then a walker in 2 months. My great grandmother was never the same after being in Sancta Maria
