"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."
