“My mom recently had a 2 week rehab stint at Adviniacare Newburyport and overall I was pleased. It was a hard time for her and it would have been easy to nitpick about the building being older and less modern but it was nice enough. The staff was always pleasant and responded to her needs promptly. I was about to communicate with the staff just fine if there were any questions or concerns. Overall …”
