(54 reviews)
Our loved one hasn't complained about the meals and dining service so we have to assume they are good. We really liked that this community gave our loved one and all the other residents the opportunity to get involved in activities and develop a new social life. They have security which was a main concern for us, and this community is keeping our loved one safe and secured. We liked that they have onsite nursing and that they handle all things regarding medication.

Our family had an in person tour and we really liked this community and its only a few minutes away from our family. The only reason we didn't pick Coachman, was because there were no more rooms available for memory care.

The staff members are very welcoming, they have gone above and beyond for our family and have answered any questions we have ever had. Everything so far has been above our expectations. The activities coordinator there is amazing, she has encouraged our loved one to get her to a place we never thought she would get to and now she loves participating in the activities which is something we love.

The care seems to be good. They're very attentive and helpful. Somebody is always popping in to see if my loved one needs anything. The design and the style of the place is very home-like. It's not industrial at all. The common rooms are like living rooms. She was very impressed with how it feels so welcoming. She tells me the food is good. And the cost seems in line with what other places in the area are charging.

This community is fantastic, we never want to leave. There are a lot of activities here and my wife is a piano player so the community will ask us to play the piano and sing songs for the other residents. The meals come out nice and hot and they change everyday. The dining staff have been very nice. On Monday's they have tea and scones. The staff members are very friendly and have kept up good communication with us.

Ashland Farm at North Andover in North Andover, MA

(51 reviews)
Our family had an in person tour and it was a very good experience, it was right in line with other communities we checked out. However, the apartments weren't as newly renovated like the other communities we saw.
As soon as you walk in, you get a warm and fuzzy feeling. It’s a more lively place, which is what we were looking for. Every time I’ve walked in, they're singing Karaoke or they have a band set up. It’s decorated so beautifully. You feel like you’re at home. And we liked that the apartments have kitchens in them.
This is a great community for someone that has memory issues and is in need of memory care. They have activities like games where they engage the people, movie night and live musicians that come in to entertain the residents. They do have outside activities also for the residents. Games, sing a longs, walking club and spiritual services.

Our loved one moved here after coming from a different facility and we are just having a night and day experience. Since Adelaide of Newton Centre is only focused on memory care our loved one is getting the attention and care he needs. They labeled him as just a mild dementia patient where our loved ones previous community labeled them high risk. They have been able to manage him medication properly, as well as keep up constant communication.

We have been very happy with The Arbors. My mother feels extremely well cared for and "loved". She gets support whenever she requests it and she absolutely loves the food provided. Since moving here, my mothers health issues have improved tremendously because of the attention from nursing staff and the doctor who works here part time. I would highly recommend to others looking.

The community is very clean and the staff members have all been super friendly. Since our loved one has moved in the meals and dining service is improving, she no loner complaints. The activities seem to be okay, but they do get repetitive so we wish they came up with more creative ideas, but we really appreciate that they take our loved one to church every Sunday, that was a big selling point. The community is only about 5 minutes away from us and the lady who gave us the tour was really understanding, and compassionate. It was a hard transition for our loved one at first, but now she is finally understanding why she is there. They staff make such great efforts to always encourage her and motivate her to stay active and engaged with everyone.
