We accept those residents for whom traditional nursing home placement has not been successful. West Side House is the only facility in central Massachusetts dedicated entirely to the care of Geriatric Psychiatric disorders and related diseases. We have been providing special physical, psychological, emotional, and protective care to our residents for over 25 years.

Our residents come from a variety of backgrounds and have a wealth of life experience. In addition to medical issues, all have been diagnosed with major mental illness and require more structured levels of supervision. At West Side House, they are involved with programs which help them to stabilize, maintain their self esteem, and learn new coping skills.

Some Of The Clinical Issues We Treat Include:

		Schizophrenia
		Bi-Polar Disorder
		Major Depression
		Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder
		Organic Mood Disorder
		Personality Disorders
		Amnestic Disorder
		Anxiety Disorder
		Dementia

     
The mission of West Side House is to promote the comfort and stability of each resident while meeting their medical requirements. We encourage a family atmosphere, and work with families and residents to maximize their ability to maintain the highest possible quality of life.
