LCB Management

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.

My brother was happy with the food and the amazing menu options that were available. The staff were great and met all of his needs. They washed his clothes and even provided some simple furniture for his room. The staff were attentive and followed up with him. This community offered a great move in special and this helped us decide on this community. They kept the community and his room clean. I would recommend this community.

I was happy with the tour of this community because they have staff that was caring and willing to answer the questions that we had. We liked the cleanliness of the environment. We liked the menu and the activities that we were shown. We wanted something closer. I would over all recommend this community for the care of a loved one.

They do offer daily programs and the staff encourages the residents to attend these. The food is good, healthy and they offer some variety of options. They keep the community clean. The staff are efficient, have good attitudes and a good quality of training. The community is well managed and that is reflected by the well trained staff. I would recommend this community.

I have no complaints about the care my mother has been receiving so far at this community. The staff have been attentive to her needs and have made an accommodations they can to make sure she feels welcome as well as comfortable. Mom has had no issues with the food and seems to be participating in a few of the activities they have to offer throughout the week.

The staff are helpful and explained the services that are available up front. They encourage mom to participate in some of the daily activities. They do offer trips out to the store. She is very happy with the food. The community is clean and well maintained. I would recommend this community.

This looked like a nice active community when I took my tour. The people I met were knowledgeable and friendly. They allow pets at this community and I think it is worth taking a look at.

My husband moved to the Residence at Salem Woods in late April when they opened. He is in the "Reflections" community for memory impairment. We could not be happier with the change. He has bloomed in the environment with professionals that understand dementia and tailor their care to the individuals. The management and staff are like a family to us and the environment is lovely. My husband enjoys the activities and I have peace of mind that he is safe and well cared for. The food is delicious and we share a meal on holidays - I could not have had a more wonderful meal at home! I would highly recommend this community to anyone looking for independent living, assisted living or memory care.

I am very happy for the care that my mother is receiving here. The staff is very friendly and caring. They offer alot of nice activities that she is enjoying. The food is very appealing. I would highly recommend this for families seeking good care.

A couple of years ago I was living on my own. I had a medical condition that required more care. I realized I couldn't live on my own anymore. I started looking and saw many places. When I came to Pearl St., it impressed me right away. It was beautiful and so clean. The more I saw the more I liked it. I cannot say enough about how much I love it here. The food is great and the staff is so helpful and professional. Colleen knows everything I like. I have things even before I ask. Colleen even adds special things that I really enjoy. I am anemic and she makes sure I have spinach everyday. I truly appreciate everything the staff does for me. It is a relief to know there is a care staff here 24-7. It makes me feel very secure. They are all so great. There is never a dull moment here. If you enjoying doing things, there is always something going on. I love the entertainment here. There are performers 2-3 times a week and they are all so talented. The people here care so much. I am also so glad that Mark is part of the staff. He makes sure the building is well maintained and clean. He is always smiling and has a great sense of humor. The van takes us walking, CVS and on trips. It is helpful to be able to pick up medications, less to worry about. John the van driver is so kind and courteous. He is a great asset to the staff here. I am so happy here. I couldn't imagine living anywhere else.

I moved my parents here from another facility in Stoneham that was just deplorable. The staff here is so friendly, caring, and always there to answer any questions. Mom and Dad have done wonderful here. There memory care unit is the best I have looked at. The residents even have access to an outdoor courtyard at all times to enjoy the nice weather. I would highly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a great place, especially with regards to the memory care unit.

We were not sure how well our mother would take to a new environment with her severe Alzheimer's dementia. We are extremely pleased with how happy she seems, and how well she is taken care of. We would recommend Brookdale East Longmeadow to anyone in need of a placement of their loved ones.

Our experience with The Residence at Watertown Square has been a good one, overall! The staff is friendly and professional, and they're very easy to work with. They were a huge help to us throughout the whole process!

I think the assisted living is great and if you are pretty far along with the memory loss. It's beautiful, and the food was excellent, and the services are good. However if you aren't quite needing full blown memory services, and you are sort of that in between stage for memory, then this might not be the best fit.

Emeritus has been great. I was very impressed with them when I first saw them. The building itself was really beautiful. We liked the location and the price. It has worked out really well. I would rate them pretty highly.

Excellent personal from the kitchen to the management. In laws love it there.

It had looked so impossible to get Lil to move anywhere. "I'm staying right here" Our options and time given to this were running out. Sales and marketing director, Teresa offered to speak with her. She made Lil feel comfortable and then presented the facts. She asked her to "come and live at my house, give it a try". Lil agreed to sign herself in. She has not regretted the decision. She is well taken care of and we are happy, too.
