Hallkeen Management

Dad is moving to Monarch homes and I found it to be just what I was looking for for my him. The colors, activity schedule (he loves walks in the fresh air) and the great food (we had a yummy grilled cheese for lunch on our tour!) met my needs. If you want experienced staff in a place that helps - not just houses - people with dementia, then go to Monarch Homes.

There was something going on everyday, numerous things so they could do whatever they wanted, there was bingo and someone would come in and play music, there was a library they had, there was a puzzle in one of the living rooms that anybody could be a part of. The building that my sister in law was in there was an outside area in the center of the building there. Also, their meals were very good, they had it like family style, there were 4 people to a table and I forgot how many tables there were but we were invited to a few meals and it was wonderful. They had a menu board so they could see what was being service and they're very friendly people, even the patrons reached out to one another. It was very clean, there was nothing crowded, it was like home living.

If you have income less than 41000 dollars a year, you qualify for reduced rate room-$4200 a month. When assets are used up they get funding to allow you to keep everything you get and stay there foor the cost of your income.3 meals a day, med management,nurse there always, laundrey, room cleaned.

I think they are very attentive to the individual's needs. Of course every facility has a particular feel and it's a real personal decision which facility to go to. I think the facility should be matched to the person's personality so with that in mind I would say that Highlands pays a lot of attention to the person's needs. My cousin is in the memory care. He participates in the activities and he gets along well with the staff and has formed a close friendship with one of the residents there. All in all it's been very positive.

Great tour with Jeff. The Alzheimer's community had lots of activities. Observed an ongoing one that was excellent. Loved the fact that the community was right next to a skilled nursing center. Price may be the only drawback. Was the highest of those visited so far.

The tour went beautifully. Danielle was very welcoming and gave us a lot of good information. She talked directly to my mother, which always impresses me as so many administrative people talk to me as though Mom isn't present. The facility was very clean and home-like. The rooms were very warm and reflected each resident's personal taste. The dining room was arranged in such a way that the residents could interact easily with others and the tables were small, seating 4 people at each, which lends itself to good conversation. The hallways were easily navigable. I found no negatives while on tour, and Mom liked it very much and feels she would be very happy there.

We were impressed with the facility and think this might be a good option. We liked the layout of the studio apt. and the warm feeling we got when touring.

Our mom moved to Forestview Manor a year ago. She is lovingly cared for in the memory unit. Facilities are clean and cheerful and the staff are wonderful. Two-way communication with care and medical staff is excellent. We are grateful that our mom is living a quite and peaceful live at Forestview Manor.

My mother has been at Forestview Manor now for 2 1/2 years. She's been in each of the 3 different Manors, which are more like nice private homes than large buildings. Each Manor is tailored specifically to meet the changing physical and mental needs of the residents with dementia. My mother calls her room a "penthouse" and believes that she is living in grand accommodations. The staff at Forestview did a great job with each move to decorate my mother's room in a way to make her feel comfortable, with lots of nice personal touches. Everyone at Forestview Manor has been fantastic to work with, and I highly recommend it to anyone wondering where the best place is to go for assisted living care for their loved one. We looked at a bunch of places within a 60 mile radius, and none of them were comparable to Forestview Manor in our opinion. Top marks!

My mother has been there since they opened as Spring Village. I have seen many changes, some good and some worrisome. Most of the worry has been frequent changes in staff and executive directors. However, new startups needing change, is quite normal. So my rating is 5 star. They have wonderful care and wonderful caregivers. My mother seems very content and loves the active things to do all day long. If you are thinking of placing a parent in memory care start with Maple Ridge.

Friendly staff and residents. Has a warm atmosphere. Was a good choice for our needs.

One of the first thing I looked at while touring facilities is the cleanliness and lack of odors. This includes the staff and residents. Forest View is clean and the residents living there always look well cared for. The pricing is always a shock but I will say Forest View is 1/2 price of other facilities. The staff have been extremely helpful and provide updates daily to assist with the turmoil of admitting family. Nursing came and met parents prior to moving in and they also came and picked them and belongings up for move in to decrease the stress. This was very helpful. Thank you to the team at Forestview for your care and support.

My loved one has only been here a few weeks but so far our experience with Brookdale Mountain Laurel has been a very good one! The staff here is wonderful, they're just really nice people! They've been incredibly accommodating, and they get right on top of any request or suggestions you make! The facility itself is clean and well kept, and they take great care of the people who live here! It is very expensive, however.

I am very pleased, and I feel very comfortable having my mom live at forest view. Great staff and the best thing she is happy!!!!!!

staff was friendly on my tour. Guests were delightful and engaging that I spoke with .Tour director knowledgeable .Also, I was sent periodic mailings about meetings/seminars in the area, not annoying sales pitch calls from sales director. These mailings were very helpful since I still learning about assisted living. I saw a few minor repairs that needed to be done. Activities director was a love.

They are great! They really know how to deal with memory care problems. I think that is their number one skill. They are very helpful at making it a very smooth transition. It's been a very good experience and I would highly recommend Monarch Homes of Woburn.

Things have gone well here so far! We're very pleased with the service, I'd give them high marks across the board. My loved one requires some extra attention, and they've been more than happy to work with us to accommodate her. They're open to suggestions, and always willing to bend over backwards to help.

Great place! Staff helpful & caring. My Dad has been there a week and so far is quite happy.

My mother will be moving it to Monarch Homes of Weymouth this week. I found the building to be brilliantly laid out, with beautiful accommodations. The thoughtfulness in the design, and philosophy of care are what made us choose this place. We had lunch with the staff and were pleasantly surprised by the outstanding meal and service.

I would recommend. We picked them because of the size and location.
