More about Bear Hill Rehabilitation & Nursing Center
Benefits called out on postings include 401(k), health, dental, vision, life, PTO, paid holidays, and a retirement plan, and nurse openings appear as both full-time and part-time. Day to day sits in skilled nursing, long-term care, and sub-acute work. A past RN described learning many skills in a first nursing job here and found the DON and ADON approachable, while still naming staffing as the main obstacle. Coworkers on the rehab side and attachment to residents come up warmly in reviews; management reads mixed depending on who you ask. Stoneham itself is a quieter car-dependent suburb about nine to ten miles north of downtown Boston off I-93—often a 20–30 minute drive into the city off-peak—with easy reach to Spot Pond and the Middlesex Fells. What you should weigh honestly is the workload: nurses and others describe call-outs, late relief, and hard-to-fill holes, and Indeed’s small work-wellbeing sample scores stress below average even while purpose and satisfaction sit above average.
