  Questions and Answers About Health Services

The Village at Duxbury provides the assurance of a full continuum of care through the healthcare services of the Welch family of companies.

IF I SHOULD FALL AND INJURE MYSELF, WHO WILL HELP ME?
For your safety, every home in The Village is equipped with an emergency response system. As personnel are on staff 24-hours per day, if you have a medical emergency, concerned assistance will arrive promptly.

WHAT IF I HAVE A SEVERE PROBLEM, SUCH AS A BROKEN HIP?
Following treatment by your own physician, you will have priority access to Bay Path Nursing and Rehabilitation Center, a licensed nursing center adjacent to The Village. A 120-bed facility, Bay Path provides all levels of nursing and rehabilitation services. While you recover from your injury or illness, you enjoy the attention of skilled nurses, therapists, a licensed dietician and professional activities director. An added measure of reassurance comes from the fact that Bay Path is a Welch family-owned company. Highly respected, Welch family businesses have served the healthcare and housing needs of South Shore seniors for over 50 years. You are, of course, free to choose another provider and arrange for your own services.

IF I DEVELOP A CONDITION THAT MAKES IT DIFFICULT FOR ME TO BATHE OR DRESS ON MY OWN, WHAT HAPPENS?
Should you require ongoing consistent help with some of life’s daily activities such as bathing, dressing, keeping track of medications, meal planning and preparation and so on, you may opt to sell your cooperative share and move to one of our comfortable, thoughtfully designed Allerton House Assisted Living Residences. There, in your own apartment surrounded by your own treasured belongings, your comfort will be enhanced by personal care tailored to your needs. A full complement of meals is served daily in the attractive dining room. And you’ll find a full slate of activities planned for every interest.

Short-term temporary stays are also available in our furnished respite apartment.

WHAT OTHER PROGRAMS ARE AVAILABLE AT THE VILLAGE?
Our Resident Care Director offers preventative programs and assistance with coordination of healthcare services.

The Village promotes a healthy lifestyle through an exceptional fitness program. Our certified trainers offer a full weekly schedule of classes—strength training, aerobics, conditioning and flexibility, special arthritis classes, balance, weight lifting and walking. Our indoor heated pool is available for swimming as well as scheduled classes. Under the direction of our experience senior trainers, a personalized exercise regime, appropriate to the individual’s ability level will be designed for the resident.
