Greystone Farm at Salem in Salem, NH

(54 reviews)
We interviewed at the Village and my mother enjoyed the visit but questioned herself living there, she was a very independent woman (she thought). As things happened she fell in her apartment again and finally the Dr. in the hospital said he would not release her unless she had a care giver or a facility where she could live, We chose to place her in the Village - she was not very happy - but staff members worked with her and she now knows most of the staff by name is involved in most activities attends most socials and has a great time. She enjoys the care givers and they enjoy her the only complaint she has is with herself - "if only I could walk better i'd be out dancing she say". You could not ask for a nicer, more friendly, considerate, helpful staff with her and with us as visitors there is always a smile on most faces and lots of happiness being spread around by staff members. Could not have found a nicer facility for mom.

I would recommend this place as they are caring and very loving individuals that work here. It is a place where all the employees know the client and know the client well. I do not think there are enough staff at night to care for the clients there, but it is a new facility so bugs have to be worked out. The restaurant atmosphere is wonderful, the food is delicious. Not a bad meal there. The activities there are nice, they have music programs and movies that my mother enjoyed, there is always Bingo which she also enjoys.

The Atrium at Rocky Hill in Rocky Hill, CT

overall it is a very nice community. The only complaint I have is that some times an activity is on the schedule and it gets canceled last minute, or the evening movie starts earlier than it is on the schedule. My mother with early alzheimers relies on the schedule to get through the day as she doesn't know how to figure out what to do on her own. So if an activity gets canceled she sits there idol in her room or if the movie starts early she wont watch it because she feels like she hasn't seen it from the beginning. So it would be nice if the schedule remains the same.

The layout of this facility is very cheery - the common spaces are light-filled, and encouraged lots of interaction for the residents, who all seemed rather contented and friendly. The Executive Director, Phil, was very helpful and patient in answering all our questions and concerns. The food ( we ate here twice) was very tasty, and they seem to have lots of attentive staff around - an important factor for us. We are looking forward to Mom's stay here.

Staff is overwhelming friendly, helpful and accomodating,a real pleasure to deal with. Mom is enjoying the activities and the meals. The one shortfall is the ratio of aides to the residents needing care. Response time to call bells (pendants) is inconsistent and sometimes woefully slow. We hope to see improvement in this area.

Refreshing to finally hear a place that is not black and white with their care options. There is a place for those who fall into the grey area between memory care and assisted living. offered. The approach to care seems genuine. Nice staff decent size rooms with tons of sun. BI hospital affiliate huge bonus. Grounds are very urban 2 80 a6.biggest drawback.Amanda was wonderful.

Not much in those negative reviews make sense to me. My Mother has been in Sanctuary Care since it opened and has been very happy. This is a community and family should become part of the solution when possible instead of hypercritical. I read the negative reviews to my husband and he thought something was a little fishy too. Tour the facility and meet with the staff before making your decision. It helps to try to walk in the shoes of the caregivers. Extremely difficult job which sadly I could not do myself. I admire anyone that is in the profession of caring for elderly and especially persons with dementia. I am not that strong a person and I know it but I can be helpful and supportive of those taking that are doing what I cannot for my mother.
