Our History
Salter HealthCare has been family owned and operated since 1956, and that means every single resident becomes part of our family.
Who should you trust to bring you back to health? This is a often a difficult decision and many do not even know they have a choice. So we wanted to make it easier for you.
With three post acute, rehabilitation and skilled nursing centers in Winchester and Woburn, MA, Salter HealthCare has remained at the cutting edge of health care services for rehabilitation, post acute, short-term, and long-term patients. This combined with the caliber and extensive training of our dedicated, professional staff exemplifies our total commitment to excellence.
Gershon Salter purchased the Woburn Rehabilitation and Nursing Center, a 30-bed rest home in Woburn, MA.
Mr. Salter expanded that center and more than tripled the facility's number of available beds.
Mr. Salter purchased the Winchester center from the Winchester Hospital.
Mr. Salter built the Aberjona center across the street from the Winchester location.
Mr. Salter's two sons, Robert and Richard, joined their father in running the family business, and succeeded in meeting the challenges presented by health care reform and changing medical needs with innovation and dedication.
Woburn Nursing Center adds large new addition.
Sadly, on November 11, 1996, Gershon Salter passed away after a lifetime of dedication to serving the health care needs of others. The traditions of excellence and commitment to the community he worked so hard to establish now live on in the administration and staff of Salter HealthCare's three rehabilitation and nursing centers.
