Spaulding Rehabilitation Hospital

Dr. Sheehan and his team is the best. Period. He will review your case holistically and find the best solution.

My wife had a stroke and was being released from an intensive care unit and I had to make the perplexing decision as to where to send her next. I choose the Spaulding Acute Rehabilitation Hospital in Sandwich, MA. It was the best decision of my life.
This was realized the moment I stepped through the front door. The Pandemic has created may complexities, especially for health care facilities. The security staff where there to explain the regulations, and were most helpful and understanding.
When in her room, she was given the best of care by the nurses and their assistants. If she needed attention, staff responded immediately even in situations where they were not assigned to my wife.
The physical therapy teams were extremely knowledgeable and personable. She made great gains while under their care.
Most notable and comforting were the opportunities for me to come in and watch the staff in action, and receive direct feedback.
The doctor supervising her care made frequent updates and was receptive to meeting with my wife and I.
Wish I could cite specific individuals but I have a fear that I may miss some. I would like to think you know who you are.
Special thanks,
Peter Fletcher

This is probably one of THE BEST rehabilitation centers in Massachusetts and is absolutely the best I've ever been to!
ALL of the staff from Security guards to the doctors seem to be The most genuinely nice and caring people that I have ever met...!

EVERYONE on staff has no problem with talking to you and getting to know you and your issues/problems and do their very best to help you,from pain management to Logistics this place tries thieir hardest to accommodate you!

If I was FORCED to find something wrong with thos place then I'd say the food could be better,I'd rate it a " C" however they do their best for you foodwose as well.....if you find something you enjoy they will give you extra if asked AND IF your Diet restrictions allow certain foods, that's the most important thing!
Although I never want to be In a facility like this again for this type of injury if I ever am this is the place I would recommend and want to go to all of my friends and family!

Outstanding care in every way! I spent 3 weeks inpatient & several months outpatient here in March 2019 after a bad ski accident (compound fracture, broke my tibia & fibula as well as my wrist). The care I received both inpatient & outpatient was beyond excellent! The staff I worked with here were angels who worked night & day to help me get well again, physically, mentally, emotionally & spiritually. I can honestly say they're miracle workers!

This is an absolutely amazing rehabilitation center. The staff is incredibly friendly & attentive. So happy my grandfather is in good hands there. Thank you to everyone for all the hard work you do! You’re appreciated so much. The solar parking lot is also AMAZING. Highly recommend Spaulding

Was at Spaulding for rehab after emergency back surgery. Dr Wennemer and both therapists Meghan & Meaghan did an outstanding job working (or as I called it beating me up lol) with me regain the ability to walk again. Entire staff at Spaulding were awesome as well. If you need a rehab facility this is the place to be.

My elderly mom was in Spaulding for therapy after a fall; she had the option of going to JML, which is closer to our homes, but we're really glad she chose Spaulding. The staff was outstanding, she was helped immensely by all the therapy, and she felt very comfortable and happy there. She's a very picky eater, but actually gained a little much-needed weight during her stay.

I felt I was treated fantastic. Loved my team. Jenn T. -OTMarissa-PT, Sara Speech, Saras assistant: Stephanie.. & Delaney- Music Theraphy. They treated me with respect all the time.

Excellent care! Everyone was compassionate and went over and above to help me get better! Physicians took the time to listen and address me as a whole person. Therapists helped me work through my pain. I have since referred both of my elderly parents! It doesn't get any better than this!

I'm going for the Fibromyalgia Clinic and so far everyone has been really wonderful, kind, and compassionate. I think its amazing that they offer a program for fibromyalgia and include information of pain management for chronic pain patients.

Bestcare ever awesome nursing staff

Staff moral, cleanliness, and more

I've been here several times. Helpful friendly staff and great facility.

Booking appointments is not always easy as they are usually booked out several weeks in advance.

Parking is easy and handicapped parking is available.

If you don't know where to go, once inside the building, they usually have a person to help right inside the door

My wife had major back surgery and she was released to Spaulding for intense rehab. Almost from they day she arrived, they decided she was going to be released on a specific date to a skilled nursing facility (SNF) before they even started to work with her. After the first two days, they said they had to release her under Medicare guidelines because she could not do 3 hours a day of therapy due to her pain. By day 3, she was able to do the therapy and they said she was making good progress, but they were still going to release her on the scheduled date. In my conversation with her doctor, he agreed she would benefit from the 3 hours of rehab they provide as opposed to the 1 hour of rehab she will get in a SNF. He eventually admitted that Medicare was dictating her length of stay. After leaning on the doctor, he admitted he could ask Medicare to extend her release date, but in the end, he refused. Apparently, even though the patient care is excellent, Spaulding is more concerned about not making waves with Medicare even if it means shortchanging the patient on the care they agree she would benefit from. My next step will be to contact whoever is the head of the Spaulding system.
