Caring for You, Close to Home

A family tradition of compassionate care since the 1950s.

For more than seventy years, the Starr family has cared for our neighbors on the South Shore — one resident, one story, one day at a time.

Southwood at Norwell Nursing Center is a family-owned skilled nursing home rooted in the village of Norwell, Massachusetts. Our in-house team provides skilled nursing, rehabilitation, wound care, and respite care in a warm, home-like setting. The same family has welcomed residents and their loved ones since the 1950s, and that continuity shapes everything we do — from the meals in our dining room to the quiet attentiveness at each bedside.

Family Voices

After rehab, my dad spent his final year at Southwood as his Lewy Body Dementia progressed. The care he received was exceptional, and the staff treated him with dignity and compassion every step of the way. Jen, Sharon, Michelle, and Luisa supported not only my dad, but our family too -- especially knowing we lived hours away. We're deeply grateful for their kindness, communication, and unwavering care.

Southwood at Norwell provided exceptional care for my father-in-law. The staff were consistently kind, respectful, and compassionate, and the nurses went above and beyond with both medical and emotional support. The facility was clean, welcoming, and well maintained, and communication with our family was excellent. We had complete peace of mind knowing he was in such attentive hands.

My grandmother was recently at Southwood for rehab and she received excellent care! Nursing staff was very professional and friendly! Southwood made the transition from hospital to home so much easier! So thankful for each and every one of the staff members that helped her along her rehab journey!!
