Why Brookdale is the place to be.





   Brookdale Senior Living, headquartered in Tennessee, has 8 locations throughout Massachusetts. None however are currently in Western Mass and to find one with a nursing home one would have to venture out to Rhode Island where the company operates four nursing homes.

Within the state, Brookdale Senior operates independent living facilities, assisted living facilities, and continuing care retirement communities.

   All the facilities are beautiful with kind compassionate staff that enjoy what they do and unlike some facilities have been found to be paid fairly as well, which has been shown to keep employees happy and create a better work environment. As far as senior care and living facilities goes in the Bay State, these are some of the more comfortable one with a strong sense of community.

   Recently, an undisclosed company has tried to purchase Brookdale Senior living but the offer was rejected. It seems that residents and workers of the area are not the only ones who see the great job the Brookdale team is doing.

  This company is a publicly traded company that is spearheaded, by a majority, of brilliant and talented woman. In a recent public statement the company's President and CEO, Cindy Baier, mentioned that  "80% of healthcare decisions are made by women, over 75% of caregivers are female, and 65% of care recipients are female" she expressed her excitement to see the companies leadership reflect this.

We had no clue what the virus was about, the media was pushing fear and doom putting everyone in a frenz and there was very little real reliable information out there about what was real and not real with this vaccine. Well all I know still for a fact is my wife got it in bad way. Like a very bad case of Covid that rocked her world  and me... I got nothing. Not even a sniffle even though I was quarantined with her. Shared bed with her, breathed her air kissed her, took that virus in deep in my lungs and had kept constantly exposed to it in the home with her. She recovered, I came out of quarantine. I have had a couple Covid-19 tests and negative I still am, ant

EMS avoids Nursing home patients

Nursing homes transports have always been a staple of private EMS providers in Massachusetts. Now with rate cuts the lack of working EMTs (has always been an issue) and the larger companies snatching up new resource intensive contracts, the nursing homes are left out as the undesirables now. Nursing homes and skilled nursing facilities patients as well as home dialysis patients are steadily having a harder and harder time finding transportation, a sharp change that has seen large scale effects within the last few years especially. In 2018, the Bipartisan Budget Act, saw EMS companies looking for new opportunities in revenue as ESRD patient reimbursements got cut. While Covid19 sent many business across the country into survival mode as they began loosing money at an alarming pace, EMS companies across Massachusetts found themselves flush with cash as the opportunity to make greater money with a lower call volume presented itself to those business that were able to adapt quickly and tha
