My loved one was there and the community was very nice. The community was helpful and my loved one thought it was wonderful. The place always looked spotless when I went to visit him. They had physical therapy and exercise available for the residents. The meals were good, lunch and dinner were available in the dining room. There was a TV room and library for the residents. There was also a patio available. The grounds are nice. The room had a nice view.

My loved one was only there for a few months. What I saw I liked, and if he had been there longer it might have changed. My loved one was in a different community due to memory care. The first place he was at the age of 93. The nice thing about the Atrium they take care of memory care until death, unless it is a sever medical problem. The staff seemed to be caring, organized, the atmosphere was so nice. It was like being like home. It was a breath of fresh air and like a family. They had physical therapy and everything they did to try and work with him. This may have been because he was new and I didn't see this at the prior community. The Atrium had evaluate him in every way. There were always some type of activities such as singing, play some sort of game to help with memory. The residents were never in their rooms. They were always trying to make sure they were out doing arts and crafts or some type of activity.

I thought this was a wonderful place. Everyone was so happy and friendly when I went to visit my loved one everyday. The community has a lot of activities, more than any other place that I know of. The community would remember who I was and always said hi to me. I was able to stay and eat dinner with my loved one. My loved one enjoyed his time there.

The community is amazing. My loved one went in right before Covid. They have taken care of her, anything she needed they were accommodating. The people that take care of my loved one are very helpful They will call me if anything changes. The staff helps give her medication, help with the daily activities of living. To my surprise my loved one was able to participate in the activities and the community have continued doing activities at a distance.

The overall staff was great, but especially the director at this community. He was so responsive and wonderful with us. My mother had hospice care towards the end and even with COVID he was helpful with letting us see her. My mother was very happy with this community. They had exercise groups they could participate in every day, board games. and dominoes. As far as we knew my mother really liked the food, she never complained. The community was very nice, she would describe it as an upscale hotel. It was always clean and organized. She was in a studio apartment and she loved it! This community is very aesthetically pleasing.

Due to COVID there are limited activities, but normally they have plenty to do. They would take daily shopping trips, as well as bring in high school students to perform musical numbers. They would have musicians perform in the back court yard as well. Our loved one is very pleased with their activities. The food is very well done and very well presented. The exterior is immaculate, it is a colonial style building. They have a walking trail that surrounds the building where the residents can go on walks. The interior is very clean and very welcoming. It has a very warm feeling to it. The rooms are very spacious.

We chose Arbor Terrace because the staff was unbelievable friendly as well as the residents. The community also offers a medicaid bed if you run out of money. My parents are in a bedroom they share, it is on a smaller side and they do offer more room sizes. The food was good, they offer specials and also have big events during the holidays. My parents have never complained about the food. Especially since COVID, the care services have been excellent. Before COVID activities were excellent, they had something going on at all times. Staff is very good at communication. My favorite part about this community again is the staff, they always know what is going on and the nurses always call to keep us informed, especially during COVID.

We chose Academy Point at Mystic because of the assistance from admissions, they were very helpful and accommodating. The facility is also quite nice, it overlooks the Mystic River which is beautiful. My mom had studio and it was plenty roomy. We loved the friendliness of the staff as well as the activities provided. There was something to do always. Sometimes I didn't want to leave after vising. One downfall is visitor parking can be a challenge. I would recommend.

We chose The Village at Kensington Place because of the location, my brother lives in the same town, the people were extremely nice, polite, and friendly. I just had a good feeling about the place. We went through this with my mother in law so we were pros at looking into facilities, we felt this was the best option for my mother. The room sizes were good here. I would absolutely recommend.

We love the staff, they are wonderful. We would give them 10 out of 10 stars if we could. This place is a little more on the expensive side. They do need to improve on their activities in the memory care unit. However the music program is the best for these patients. The food is not the best. The rooms are pretty good size, you get what you pay for. Some rooms you share a bathroom unless you have private room. One thing that really stood out to us was the decor at this community and the friendless of the staff.

We chose this community because the way they priced their services. For example, the time they help my mom get dressed, take a shower, etc is not in the cost. We also liked the setting of the community, they specialize in assisted living and they know how to do it right. The room sizes are a little on the small size, but the are adequate. The food is excellent, there is a lot of variety, it is nutritious, and they give adequate portions but still let you indulge. My favorite part about the community would be the people, treatment, and communication from the staff members. COVID has been a good test to see how great the community really is. I would absolutely recommend Ashland Farm at North Andover.

We chose this community because it had a good physical building layout, and my mom is mostly blind. Also the staff was very approachable and friendly from the management all the way down. The room sizes were adequate. The food was good, my mom preferred it over the other place she was at. Our favorite part about the community is how involved all of the staff are with the residents and how kind they and responsive they are with requests.

The community is usually very clean. The staff is also usually very friendly. We have had no concerns or complaints at all. They have been very careful during the Covid-19 pandemic and we have been very pleased with their response. It is expensive, however we do think Benchmark Senior Living At Nashua Crossings is a good value for the price. We are very grateful that my mother can reside here.

Finding a new home for my grandma was a really difficult choice. Chesnut Park proved to be a great one. My grandma and my family and I had a positive experience there. The staff is friendly, positive, encouraging and patient with visitors and residents. I couldn't believe how calm they stayed with my grandma and her fellow residents, despite some difficult tasks and moods. She was greeted by name constantly as she moved down the halls, which I know meant a lot to her. They were responsive and respectful of my families requests and needs for my gram. They work hard to provide appropriate activity for the residents, keeping them moving and socializing to the best of their abilities. Whenever I visited I had to hunt her down! I might find her at: the afternoon movie, a discussion group, music therapy, snack time, sitting outside or getting her nails done. Then, even at the end when my gram passed, the staff was SO lovely. The managers met us at the door, expressed condolences, offering hugs and kind words. They had cleaned her room up, carefully arranged her so she looked as though she was sleeping peacefully (sounds weird but in the moment but that means a lot) and put out extra tissues, water, and chairs. They even asked if there was any staff she would've wanted to attend the services. It was such a touching gesture, for some who would otherwise not have many at a service I'm sure it would be especially meaningful. Overall, Chesnut Park provided a great experience for us during a difficult time, thank you.

We are very pleased with The Village. The staff is very attentive and they have had no cases of the Covid-19 virus because they are so proactive. The food is fantastic and the chef is incredible. The community itself is immaculate and they are vacuuming and cleaning every single day. The staff is phenomenal and go out of their way with us and the residents. It is very expensive, however knowing mother is safe and happy is invaluable.

As a registered nurse, I have never seen care like they have given there. Every person I have come across here is caring, compassionate, and kind. The staff is so exceptional and they have really gone out of their way to communicate with us about our loved one's care. You really get the feeling they care. The food could be better. I don't think they have enough activities available. They do have a lot of activities available, should the residents choose to participate. I think given how much we are paying, the value is up to par for the care they are giving. I highly recommend the memory care area at Whisper Woods!
