In patients' words

"I moved to Norwood after my husband passed away, and I was lonely. The senior center changed everything. I made friends, started taking yoga, and even went on a trip to the Cape. It gave me my life back."

Margaret, 78 (via SeniorsProTalk)

"The building is infested with roaches, dirty, and has hallways that smell of urine. There is chronic neglect: unsympathetic staff, bedsores, falls, and patients left without help."

Seniors.fyi review of Norwood Health & Rehabilitation

"The staff is rude and incompetent; call bells go unanswered for long periods and residents are not fed or cared for adequately."
