I moved here recently and I couldn't be happier. I love everything about living here, from the staff to the facility itself to the people who live here. Very good meals, many daily activities, and a very nice pool and excercise area. I would highly recommend Cabot Park Village to anyone who is outgoing and likes a family feel!

So far, it's going very well. Everything has been a good experience. My loved one did mention that she has become a little bored with some of the activities that they have. As far as the meals, they did send us home with a meal and it was very good. Overall, it has been a good experience.

It was a 1,000 mile move to bring my beloved husband to the Arbors of Bedford......so worth every mile. The Arbors is lovely in appearance and is beautifully kept. What really stands out is the staff from top to bottom. Making me comfortable from the beginning is what tipped the scales in favor of the choosing The Arbors. The care that is given to my husband is the very best. Every caretaker in his unit is kind and considerate. He is delighted to have made the move as am I. I would highly recommend the Arbors to any and all who are searching for a 5* home for your loved one. Kudos to all that make this such a wonderful place.

My dear friend has been a resident at Sanctuary Care in Rye NH for almost two years. When my dear friends husband had to make the very difficult decision, to place her in a home, I am so grateful that Sanctuary Care became his choice. I look forward to my visits with her as it does my heart good to see the love & compassion that surrounds her. Alzheimers, dementia is a horrible disease and it takes such a toll on the whole family. Knowing your loved one is being treated with dignity and is being cared for with loving, compassionate, caring hands will certainly help to put your mind at ease. I wish this disease did not exist and there wasn't such a need for facilities like this. But unfortunately, there is, and for that I am so grateful for Sanctuary Care.

My wife has been a resident at Sanctuary Care for almost two years. At the end of 2015 and the beginning of 2016, the problems at this facility were so significant that I began searching for other accommodations for my wife. Any reviews of one star during that time period are being generous. There appeared to be a toxic work environment with constant turnover and understaffing problems, along with numerous other issues. In early 2016, The former director was let go, and new management began to make an immediate impact. I had placed a deposit with another Alzheimer’s unit that would finish construction in four months. Fortunately, that four month period gave me a chance to see that a majority of my major concerns were being corrected. I placed moving plans on hold, and I am so glad that I did. The turnaround that I have witnessed is nothing short of incredible. Any issues that I may voice to management are addressed immediately. There is a feeling of love and caring that is impossible for them to hide. As I am writing this, I can see the faces of all the people that are responsible for these improvements. It is from top to bottom. The kitchen turnaround has also been remarkable. The new chef has changed more the just the menu. The kitchen staff is out interacting with the residents on a regular basis. If you are visiting at mealtime, you will always be offered a meal at no extra charge. Mealtime is now a wonderful shared experience, in addition to the food being great!!! Last but not least , the LNA’s. They are angels. I have recently learned that a number of them have a very lengthy commuting distance. They most certainly have similar job opportunities that are closer to home, but they choose Sanctuary Care because they tell me that they like it here. That speaks volumes. If you are reading these reviews there is a good chance that you are in the middle of a very difficult decision. I am comfortable offering my positive comments on Sanctuary Care and believe that they are worthy of serious consideration. I feel fortunate to have them caring for my wife.

I almost chose Crescent point for my mother. Everyone was so professional and the community was clean. I liked the overall ambiance there and they seemed adequately staffed when I toured. They seem to be well established and have it together. The reason I did not chose Crescent point is the location, it was much farther than I would have preferred.
