Somewhat disappointed

It has been a big roller coaster for us for the past year here to get things straightened out and for our loved one to receive the adequate care. I would tell others not to do it unless you have a lot of time to watch them like a hawk, you have to be on on top of everything and be an advocate. They do also have a very high staff turnover rate. I would recommend as long as your loved one can be self sufficient, but for someone for instance with Alzheimer's who cannot do that I would not recommend.

nice place, not what expected from other reviews.. not let down by the food.we had a lovely lunch,our waitress reminded us of our grand daughter..(smart and cute! ) we liked the apartment,the halls in the building look in need of a good cleaning,an off odor kept creeping in. saleswoman kept coming up with excuses for ripped carpets etc.over all we are strongly considering Haverhill. first because we have a good feeling about it,and second we live nearby..if you want a fancy place ,not for you.but the longer you stay and see other residents smiling you will like..folks in the restaurant seemed very happy,and the girls all knew their names and heard nice comments after they left the tables..( nice sign )..

Not happy

They are great until you have a request that isn’t standard, e.g. my Dad needs O2 when sitting because he cuts off his own air sleeping in the chair. They would say they are doing it but I can see that it is not happening. Even after meetings with nursing staff plus management it continued. I am at a point of pulling my dad out in frustration.
