LCB Management

We chose The Residence at Penniman Hill because it is a brand new facility that was very clean and she was able to take a room that had never been lived in before. We went on a tour and we were impressed with everybody that we met, the wellness directors, the sales person, and the daily caregivers. We did not spend much time with the executive director but she seemed to be nice. I do like the population size, it is big enough to where she could make friends but not too big to where she would get lost. My mother has become limited in her mobility and it attracted me that they had an outside area with trees, benches, and grassy areas where she can go out and get fresh air. I would recommend to others as long as the facility fits your loved ones needs.

The staff and facilities are first rate! Both of my in-laws were in other assisted living/nursing homes in the area at different times and the quality of care here is better than any other we have experienced. The nursing and personal care staff are more than accommodating, really work with the family to make the best experience for the resident. The food is also amazing and the place looks like a spa.

We toured a variety of places, we chose Atria Cherry Hill because of the proximity, the affordability, and I got more of a family/comfortable atmosphere here. The room sizes are small, especially after viewing other Atria facilities. The food here is pretty fresh and a good quality, they have a lot of variety. My favorite part about this community is that they assign each person a buddy upon getting there. They do a survey on interests and hobbies and pair you up with who matches for socialization purposes. I would absolutely recommend.

They take very good care of the community and there is always someone in the hall cleaning. The staff is very friendly and they go above and beyond for the residents. They have been very accommodating with all of them during the community lock down, which was the result of the Covid-19 pandemic, making sure they are taken care of. They have also been very good about communicating with us about what the community has been doing to keep the residents safe. Given the situation, they are doing the best that they can do in terms of care. They are not letting outside professionals in as a way to protect the residents. Because of the pandemic, we have really seen how much the staff cares for each of the residents. The activities are pretty good and the activities director is doing the best she can since all the residents are social distancing. They were also really good about engaging my mother in the activities and she always enjoyed it when they involved her. It is very expensive to have a loved one here but, given the market, it seems on par with what other communities are charging. I would definitely recommend Mattison Crossing to anyone! Even the food is very good and the kitchen is fully kosher. They will make sure the service and food are exactly what the residents want.

The common areas at The Residence at Melrose Station always look clean, especially when comparing to other senior living communities. The staff is very friendly. I am impressed that every time I call in, they know exactly who I am. The department heads are often the ones who answer my questions, which is very reassuring. Similarly, the care being provided is great. During the Covid-19 pandemic, they have really stepped up to protect the residents and are doing much more than they usually do for no added cost. Compared to other communities in the area, we believe The Residence at Melrose is a great value. The only negative about the price is that they charge a flat fee per care level, rather than per service. While they do offer great activities, the physical location where they take place tends to be a little inaccessible to those who are less mobile. If they could hold activities on each level of the community, it would make it a lot more accessible to everyone.

The staff are really friendly. They spend a lot of time getting to know the residents and their families. When I walk into the building, they know who I am and who I belong to. Our situation is unique because my dad moved into the assisted living, went to rehab for 4 weeks, and then moved back into their memory care. The community was so nice and moved all of his belongings for us. My father loves eating the food there as well. Because he isn't very social, they staff have tried to find activities for him and get him to interact more.

My mom lives here and I can't say enough good things about this place, and it's people. From the receptionist to the care givers, the aides, and even to the wait staff in the restaurant. They are all extremely kind and caring. They have a lot of activities so the people who live there are continually engaged. They foster an atmosphere of kindness and caring and it shows in everything they do. I am so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for my mother. She loves it there.

My brother [name removed] is in the memory care unit at Madison Crossing and in Manalapan. I met with [names removed] at the very end of February 2020 I have been in contact with them since mid December and felt that they really knew how difficult this situation was and how best to handle it I have never met such a strong professional team, take charge and knowledgeable, while being kind and compassionate. They are truly professionals in every way possible. I didn’t know what to expect with my brothers arrival at Madison Crossing. Each one of the above mentioned people treated him like he was a member of their family and when I met with them and with my husband, they treated us like we were a member of their family and the family at Madison Crossing It is very difficult to put into words how comfortable we felt placing my brother in the hands of these people.. There is not enough praise I respect that we have for them. They are a credit to assisted living and the concept of it and they are credit to Madison Crossing. We are eternally grateful to them and to Madison Crossing providing a lifestyle which my brother describes as beyond wonderful

One of the most conscientious facilities I’ve been in. The staff is always friendly and welcoming when I’ve been in there. I see them treat their residents with kindness and compassion. I have had meetings here and interacted with residents and staff.

My family chose the Residence at Melrose Station for my mother because of the staff’s unique combination of imagination and commitment. It was very important to us that our mother be intellectually challenged as well as physically cared for. My mother adapted quickly, has found new friends and is enjoying the movies, games, and delicious meals with other residents. During our move-in week, any concerns we had were addressed quickly by the staff. Everyone here is upbeat and wonderful to work with, and this includes the nursing staff, aides, dining room staff, building supervisor, receptionists, and housekeepers. My mother also enjoys walks outdoors. A great feature of this place is its closeness (2 blocks away) to a lovely Main Street, with shops, a grocery store, a pharmacy, and a post office. Nearby there is a commuter train station—great location! In spring we will enjoy the nearby parks and lakes. For assisted living support in the Boston area, we couldn’t do better.

My mother was at Brookdale Rocky Hill Senior Living and recently passed. I can't tell you how attentive and dedicated the staff was to my mom. That team made you feel like you were with family. Mom was so happy there. It was such a comfort knowing she was in good hands. I highly recommend this community.

I moved my mother into assisted living at The Residence At Pearl Street a little over a year ago. Although it was a difficult transition, the staff was very helpful and supportive, and they have continued to be so. The activities, as well as the activities director, are outstanding with a wide variety of physical and mental games and exercises, and entertainment and social gatherings, offered daily. The 3-a-day meals are also excellent, and the friendly food service staff strives to meet the needs and palates of everyone. The management is also doing a good job in keeping the facility up to date including the latest renovation that replaced all resident unit windows. Overall, I would recommend anyone interested in assisted living to consider Pearl Street.

My wife and I stopped in to speak with the manager working. I explained that my father is currently in the Atria in Cranford, NJ and that we had just purchased a new home in Waretown and wanted to see if we could move him there. They showed us the entire place and the rooms available and that made our discession easy. The staff was great and very informative.

My mom has been at the Residence at Orchard Grove for almost 7 months. She is memory impaired and in a wheelchair. I was not sure memory care in an Assisted Living setting would be enough care because she would forget she could not walk. After meeting with the Director of the Memory Care unit I decided to take a leap of faith. I have been so happy I made the decision. My mom had been at a nursing home for a time and I watched her literally loosing her mind. Since she has been at the Residence she has made friends, both on the traditional side and in the memory care unit. She has enough independence to feel whole again but I feel confident she has enough supervision to be safe. The food is great, her apartment is a good size and kept clean. The aides are so kind to her and the director of the memory care unit is professional, experienced and so very sweet. They try to have outings at least once a week which is so good for my mom. I am so happy we found the Residence.

Salem Woods is a lovely, well appointed facility that is cheery and bright, Many in-house activities as well as outside venue trips are available to the residents. The staff are very friendly and helpful. Everyone tries to make the resident experiences as pleasant and enjoyable as possible. Prior to entering, one can meet and discuss how a resident can be assisted and helped with the feeling of concern and caring. Adjusting to a new living situation can be stressful; having kind and caring folks to help with the process is very important. For a new resident and out of town family adapting to a new living situation do suggest: have a way to talk directly to a resident via an in-house phone when the person has not cell or landline would be very helpful and a designated liaison who interacts with the person that the family can contact to check on them would be very helpful.

The Residence at Salem Woods is the best that I have found after staying in a few other facilities. They go beyond helping dementia and mental problems in all the support areas. They not only supported my ill wife, but me in my grief throughout this long difficult ordeal. Toward the end we almost became like family when my wife finally passed away, two of them even came to the wake [names removed], the floor manager and nurse's aid. Beyond the call of duty. Towards the end they even got her an air mattress to prevent bed sores and a extended wheel chair and a hospital bed at no cost. The facility is relatively new and so has all the newer items such as rooms, bathrooms, large outdoor patio, library, dining room etc. In the country atmosphere it blends into the country side I would also like to commend [name removed] (sales manager) of course [name removed] (floor manager) [names removed], and a host of others . Don't stay at Marland Place or Bright View if you want to keep your money.

Traditions of Wayland encompasses a serene life and intimate atmosphere within a gracious, historical estate. The various lounges are clustered in close proximity which enables crossing paths throughout the day and making residents feel "at home" with one another. The sunny patio and pretty gardens are welcoming nods to a breath of fresh air and seasonal "parties." The Resident Care Director is selective in admitting residents who will fit in well. Once admitted, every effort is made to enable residents to remain in their units without being displaced to another facility. As time passes, if additional personal attention is needed on a daily basis, it can be provided. At least the promise to keep one's place at Traditions is given from the start. The residential care team reviews individual care plans on a routine basis, and necessary adjustments can be agreed upon. I give the aides tremendous praise for their kindness above all. This is what residents appreciate the most! Patience, promptness, and respect are the standards provided by the aides. No matter what the request may be, cheerful attention is given. A variety of entertainment and activities keeps residents on the lookout to participate out of personal, individual interest. Very popular with residents are the recitals given by local adults and youths, and this is a great venue for the performers as well. Occasionally there are special dinners with an interesting theme where guests are invited to attend gratis -- very popular with residents, family members, and guests. Traditions' staff assist and interact which makes for a good party. Best of all, these times allow family members to relate to one another and feel validated for all that is required of us at our end. We also enjoy feeling appreciated for the encouragement we're constantly giving at every visit. Traditions has been in transition for the past year whereby some qualified personnel have been replaced, and that's been unsettling. The new Executive Director is very approachable and is taking a devoted, personal interest in the residents and their families. Such personable, executive functioning trickles down to staff and residents, but also to us, the family members. It's a good thing we can all feel "at home" in this special place.

The Residence at Orchard Grove has been doing a great job so far. They are a brand new community, and the apartment they offered was just right for my loved ones. I will say that the aids at the community have various skill levels, so consistency can be difficult to obtain. Otherwise, the staff is friendly and accommodating, the community is clean, and there are a lot of things to do for the residents. However, one of the places I feel the community shines strongest is the food. Meals are excellent here, very complete with a lot of variety. I would strongly recommend The Residence at Oak Grove to others.

Our father had been with our step-mother for 42 years and she sadly passed away this year. We were worried about dad and wanted him to be with other people he could enjoy being with as well as be in an atmosphere where people cared about him and his needs. Residence at Vinnin Square has turned out to be an excellent choice for Dad. The staff from management to direct care has been totally awesome with our father. There are way too many to add one by one but you all know who you are and we are so grateful to have dad become a resident at Vinnin Square. There is a great, family oriented atmosphere, freshly cooked cuisine, and lots of activities for residents to enjoy all day long. The engagement director [name removed] and her staff [name removed] and [name removed] are always finding new ways to engage the residents so there is not much idle time if residents are looking for something to do during the day. The residence is new and decorated beautifully from the open common areas to the apartments of the residents. It is well maintained and spotless. From the time you walk in the door you are greeted by professional and courteous front desk reception area. (Thank you [names removed]) Management has been great and has no problem getting involved to make sure that each and every resident is safe and happy and treat the families like they are part of the extended family. On the downside the food is a bit expensive if you are family coming to dine with your loved one but the food and the servers make that a little easier to swallow. Thank you residence at Vinnin Square for taking such good care of our dad and making sure he is happy and in a caring, loving, family oriented living facility. It was a tough time for him having to make this move but has seemed to adjusted very well and has made many new friends. We love being a part of Residence family and have made many new friends and extended family members ourselves among the staff and other residents.
