So far the staff in the dementia unit are very attentive, the place is very clean, the room a good size and she loves the food here. The quality of care seems excellent. They have plenty of activities to keep her busy. They test her cognition every 30 days. I have had some issues with them not calling back the first few weeks and they were saying they never got the message but that seems resolved now. I will let you know if that changes. I will give them a 5 now for my limited time I have been back. She says she is very happy here and they seem like family. My only concern is for how expensive it can get if her levels of care go too high. She is at a Level 2 now out of 5 at [Amount Removed] a month.

The tour with Randi Bellamare was a great experience. My sister and I felt welcomed from hello. The property is full of great social spaces and the residence rooms very good space. Although we felt our family member would find East Farm's a safe, social and good option, we did need to make a different choice for financial reasons. Many good comments will be shared about our experience.

We think the staff is great. They really know our mom. It takes a special type of person to work at a facility like this and we are very happy with the time they spend with her And we have seen the staff take care of other residents with lots of caring. our Mom does not participate in many activities at 96 but we have been there while lots of activities are taking place and many residents are participating. It's clean and her personal room is clean and neat as well. Nurses are super.

Combined with the level of care options, this facility exceeded our expectations as a possible new residence for our family member.
