Chelsea Senior Living

We toured this community and I wanted to have my mom see this community for her care. The staff was nice and they had a clean community for the residents. I like the variety of good meals that would be offered. The activities would have been helpful for my mom. They did not have a place for smoking and my mom. We would suggest a tour for other families to this beautiful community with a nice value

From start to finish, the place always felt welcoming. It really felt like home. They were understanding and I knew just from walking in the first time that this was the place for my loved one. It has been a perfect experience, everything has worked out exactly as I had planned it too.

I am extremely happy at Somerset Gardens. It's home to me. There is plenty to do here if you choose to. Thing only thing I would say is about the food. When you are cooking for over 100 people you cant please everyone. It's not gourmet french food here. I'm perfectly fine though. Things are going really well and I hope they continue to.

Very nice, it used to be the Howard Johnson. Large lobby and flows like a hotel. 2 dining rooms, large rooms with a porch. REasonable price for what you get, a la carte for additional needs. A movie theater which is very nice, adequate outdoor patio. LeeAnn was great, upbeat, had good feedback and a sense of reality working with seniors. Offers a nicely paced lunch visit for mom and dad. Will visit with them in Nov.

My brother is staying at Somerset Gardens and he is doing very well there. They have a lot of good activities that keep him involved. He gets three good meals a day. He is 63 years old and is bipolar but can function pretty well. It is a very good place for him.

My 92-year-old beloved Dad passed away in the memory/hospice care unit of Somerset Gardens. He resided there for almost a year. My siblings and I feel exceedingly lucky that we found this facility, as the care my Dad received was impeccable; every staff member we interacted with, no matter what their duties were, treated us and my Dad with kindness, respect, dignity, and much-needed information as to what to expect as death drew near. The facility was extremely clean, my Dad's room was always spotless, and his aide, Clyde, attended to his hygiene, mental and physical needs with the greatest compassion and concern. I cannot praise Somerset Gardens enough for the peace of mind they provided my family to ensure that my Dad was in a safe, nurturing and loving environment. Thank you to every member of the staff. You should all be proud of the very important service you provide so well. Thank you from all of us on behalf of Edward.

My husband was in the Tuttle Center for over 2 months. We would rate all of the employees-nurses-social worker-PT and OT - right down to the food service employees as the very best. My husband loved staying there as well as all the employees. Everyone was very kind and did their very best to help. Even after leaving, I was able to call and speak with the social worker, Renee, who continued to be of great help.

The experience with Somerset Gardens was a very positive one. The main lady there we worked with was a real delight, very helpful in every way. The food was very good. They made some excellent entrees. I would certainly recommend them.

When my husband and I first came to live at the Amsterdam at Harborside we immediately became involved in many of the activities offered to residents in Independent Living. Through our experiences at committee meetings, the bridge table, exercise classes and especially our nightly dinners we met and enjoyed the company of our fellow residents. We had no idea how important that would become when, several years later, my husband's health suffered a decline and he became a resident of the Tuttle Center's skilled nursing unit. It was more than the obvious financial advantage, since our monthly maintenance payments did not rise even though I stayed in our apartment and he resided in the health center. It was also more than the fact that by our living in the same building I could visit my husband easily at any hour of the day or night. It was mostly that neither of us felt alone. Frien ds from Independent Living dropped in to say hello to him regularly. Activities and mealtimes in the Tuttle Center's cheerful dining room enabled him to interact with his fellow patients. I, on the other hand, never lacked for someone to eat dinner with or to accompany me to some entertainment or activity. Living here at the Amsterdam was a very different experience from having a spouse in a nursing home in another location. When my husband eventually passed away the support and caring I received from the Tuttle staff and all our friends was quite overwhelming. My children and I will be forever grateful

I am a resident of The Amsterdam at Harborside which is an independent living retirement community with continuing care available when needed at no extra cost. The amenities and activities at the Amsterdam are terrific, but the residents are the best part of it. It really is like one big family. Oh yes, the dining room serves great meals with plenty of options and the service is very good. On top of that, I spent some time as a recovering patient at the Tuttle Center, the attached continuing care facility, and I and can easily say that it is a great facility. It offers skilled nursing, assisted living, memory care and hospice. The complex, like the Amsterdam itself, is only a few years old, which is a big plus, but more importantly the staff was very caring. One of the benefits for my wife and I is the use of the Tuttle throughout our lifetime at no extra cost. It was very reassuring to see the quality of care that is available to us. On top of that, since the Tuttle is attached to The Amsterdam, my wife could easily visit me at any time and so could other friends that we have made here. I can send you a copy of our newsletter if you are interested. It is totally created by the Independent Residents and we are proud of it. (I take most of the photos.) If you would like a copy by Email, contact management and tell them that Edes offered to send it.

What a caring, wonderful place at a very difficult and sad time. My mom's final days were spent there and they made sure that she was comfortable and without pain. They also cared about our needs and were there to comfort, listen and guide. There were members of the clergy of every possible faith and denomination and were always available for the needs of our loved one and ourselves. We continue to receive support as we go through the grieving process. "Thank you" does not sufficiently express how grateful we are for all that they have done and continue to do. The room was private and spotless and someone was always near if we or our loved one needed something. They are the best!

We really love it she is in the memory care and she is doing so well there! I am so thrilled that she is there. This is great she is loving it. I would reccommend it to anyone. I can't even tell you how well she is doing there. I am thrilled with the memory care unit they are open to everything they have activities all the time. They do great things once a week with them they go out, I come all the time with my puppy, they love me to bring my puppy. I have to say they are doing wonerful they do exercises, and they always have things going on with them, they don't want them sitting in the room. They don't allow telephones in the room, so she wasn't callilng me all the time. They had an understanding and comprehension of how they act with dementia behavior. I am so thrilled with the people there they are very kind, loving, caring. If your loved one has dementia I recommend somerset gardens.

While my aunt is on the younger side at a spry 76 years, the residents are active and welcoming. Meals are well rounded and social, housekeeping is weekly and through, the staff is warm and friendly, and visiting is always a pleasant experience. I'm very pleased with this community and highly recommend seeing Leeann, for a tour. She is caring and knowledgable and really down to earth.

I have no complaints at all. They run the facility perfectly. My mother adjusted so well. It's such a good feeling to see her happy like this. Everyone is so friendly. I highly recommend Somerset! I never thought my mother would be a person to join clubs or any thing but as soon as she moved in she went right to bingo and the next morning she went to exercise. She's really making the most out of her stay there and she loves having her own place. After moving in my mom called me the next morning and said I can't thank you enough! They made her feel so welcome and the residents there are so welcoming too. They're really doing a great job. It's been a very good transition. My mom thanks me everyday!

affordable, no availability

The activities is not the same in the memory care area, as opposed to assisted living. The price is pretty good, compared to other places. They seem to be on top of everything. If there is a problem, they let you know. They arrange transportation/bus to and from the doctor. Modern, bright, cheerful, and clean facility.

It is a brand new beautiful facility and staff really do make the effort and try their hardest. The social aspect of it has been great for her. Everything has been good so far, the only negative is that they seem to be understaffed. The food has taken a hit from that as well, but I think that is temporary. Overall, I would recommend them to others who are looking.

my experience has been better than i could have imagined. the people have been very warm and accepting, the activities and food and over all have been great. my two bedroom apaartment is very spacious and comfortable. the staff, kitchen, maintenance and valet and all have been most helpful. i couldn't have made a better choice.

Everything is perfect at this community for my dad. The staff started him at level 1 care then it reduced to medication only. There has been progress with physical therapy and he has been gaining more stability. It is positive atmosphere and he says he is satisfied. We are happy to hear his feedback.

The staff are taking good care of my brother. The food is good and healthy. The community is well taken care of. They do offer daily activities. This community reminds me of a hotel and not an assisted living community. I would recommend this community.
