Massachusetts inspects every assisted living residence at least once every two years. At its most recent compliance review on April 1, 2025, the state cited 10 findings at All American Assisted Living at Wrentham. 5 of them had already been cited at the previous review. Across the 145 Massachusetts residences with a published report, the median is 6.
This page covers one review, not a history, and it is not a score or a ranking. A finding means the state identified something the residence has to correct; it does not on its own mean a resident was harmed. The state does not publish what happened after this review, so a finding listed here may since have been fixed. Where the state withheld private details, such as a resident's medication or the date of an incident, the text reads [redacted].
