Salter Healthcare is now part of the Stellar Health Group family!

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.
