Northwood Rehabilitation & Health Care Center
Located in Lowell, MA, Northwood Rehabilitation & Health Care Center offers skilled nursing and rehabilitative care to its patients and residents. Our staff is devoted to providing our residents with quality care with a personal touch, designed to improve their quality of life. As part of Athena Health Care Systems’ continuum of care, residents can “age in place” knowing that they don’t have to move as their care needs change. Our staff are highly trained to give residents care at every level.
Whether you’re looking for a short stay or to make Northwood your home, our fully furnished private and semi-private rooms create an environment that is calming and comfortable. Our physicians, nurses and clinical staff, rehabilitation therapists, and ancillary team members will help you every step of the way and will inform you and your family of the progress you are making.
Our skilled nursing services cater to those whose needs require regular 24-hour care and monitoring. This could be short-term for those who have been discharged from the hospital and need extra support time to recover, or those who need traditional longer-term nursing home care.
For our short-term patients, rehabilitative therapy services are available on-site, as often as needed and as prescribed by your physician for optimal recovery and health. Your pathway will include therapy goals, exercises, and specific tasks that will help guide you from your hospital bed to living your best life. Oftentimes, these services include physical therapy, occupational therapy, and speech therapy.

What residents, their loved ones, and staff have to say…
Nadia [resident ambassador] has been such an asset to everybody. They all love her and when she is not here, she is dearly missed. She does everything and helps everybody. She helps with every job no matter how big or how small the job is. She has time for everybody and anybody.
The best care, rest and love you could ask for. There is no loneliness, just one big happy family. Everyone eats well and there is plenty to do.
Thank you to ALL Northwood staff! The staff on B Wing were all very caring and compassionate towards my mother. Thank God we have such great angels in this world to take care of the elderly when they are on the end of their journey in life.
On behalf of my whole family, we would like to express our heartfelt thank you for the devotion you gave to our mother while she was in your care. To the B Wing staff - you are exceptional! Not only were you dedicated to my mother's well-being, but the kindness and compassion you expressed to our family didn't go unnoticed. You truly made ALL the difference for us during this time and we are extremely grateful for your true professionalism.
