Lasell Village is a highly regarded retirement community that integrates independent living with on-site skilled nursing and rehabilitation services. While residents and their families frequently praise the academic environment, social atmosphere, and quality of care, there are serious concerns regarding safety protocols and responsiveness in the rehabilitation wing. Families should weigh the community's strong reputation for lifestyle and education against specific reports of lapses in medical oversight.

Key Review Excerpts
“In November 2025, our mom, a Lasell Village resident since 2013, died after a fall that could have been prevented had a safety protocol for staff been in place.”
“The staff was unprofessional and not attentive to my family or my mother’s medical needs. After 5 days at the facility (rehab 3rd floor) my mother was rushed to the hospital via a 911 call!”
“When my husband got blood clots in and around his heart, we were able to use the fine services of Lasell House during his recovery.”
