My mother moved to the VNA Residence on Lowell Street a bit over two years ago and the sparkle has returned to her eyes and spirit thanks to the care and respect and beauty that surrounds her daily! Everyone on staff, from the hands-on and caring Executive Director down to the dining room staff, are thoughtful, attentive and proactive in their awareness of and concern for my mother and all of her neighbors. My work has provided me reason to come to know a variety of independent and assisted living residences throughout New England and I put the VNA residences right up there with the "fanciest" of them. To have such a level of quality and care available to a hard-working class of seniors who might otherwise be left with far less dignified and safe options if truly a Godsend.

My husband's dad was a guest at the Somerville VNA facility for over a year. We found the entire staff to be highly professional offering caring and compassionate assistance to not only my father-in law but also to my entire family. The facilities were well maintained and the dining room offered a full range of food and beverages to not only the tenants but the families as well. My father-in-law required assistance with his daily medication as well as travel assistance to doctors and hospitals and staff always handled these occasions with patience and competence. We always felt very comfortable leaving him in their very capable hands. Wewill always be very grateful that the VNA was there to make his last days so pleasant and comfortable.

I can't say enough about the quality of care and compassion that was afforded my step-father during his year-long stay at this facility prior to his passing. He suffered from early onset dementia and was moderately incapacitated and yet the staff at the VNA were hands on professionals every day that he was a guest. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the building and the individual units, the quality of the food that was offered in their dining room, the range of activities regularly provided the guests and the particular attention to detail. The facility offered a hair salon and a boutique store for the guests as well. Without being morbid, I often remarked that when the time came for me I wanted to live out my final days in this facility. The front desk staff were extremely helpful, welcoming and always friendly.

I wanted to talk about the Somerville VNA Assited living I love both sites. I have found the staff to be excellent, kind caring and well versed in taking care of clients. The staff from the executive director to the kitchen help, make you feel like you are at home. Both facilities are very active with an award winning exercise program to piano playing entertainment. I always felt and feel like the VNA of Eastern MA, main mission is to make every client feel as important as the next, no matter what your status of payment is. They treat every client equal. I have had the pleasure of working with many of the staff at both facilities and I know they are all wonderful and competent. I also had the pleasure of getting to know other clients and saw how much they felt at home and how much they loved the staff. I don't know many places that the executive director knows everyone by their first name, she treats everyone like family. I always say what the top leadership does trickles down to the staff. All I can say is thank you , all for the kind, loving, efficient staff members and for being a great facility.

This is a wonderful facility. The VNA has been taking care of my neighbor at her home for as long as I can remember. A couple of years ago, I stopped in and found her house to be in a real mess, with bills and paperwork all over. I called the visiting nurses and they sent a nurse down right away. Her brother had died a few months before and she just could not take care of herslf anymore. The VNA arranged for a guardian and helped her apply for the VNA’s assisted living community on Lowell STrret. Thank God she got in! I thought she was going to be forced to go to a nursing home! What a beautiful place it is and the staff are the best! In just a few weeks she got back to her old self. I would highly recommend the visiting nurses assisted living to anyone who needs help.

The day my aunt Marie was found on the floor after 2 days, I knew that it was time to look for help. The first place I called was the visiting nurses assisted living and within days, they had a beautiful apartment ready for her to move in right from the hospital. This was a hard move for her since she was fiercely independent and self-sufficient all her life. The VNA staff bent over backwards to make her feel at home and got her involved in the exercise programs and even had a physical therapist come in to help her get her confidence and strength back. She was doing great until the bombshell hit…..she had terminal liver cancer. True to form though, she was determined to take control and handle it HER way! She did not want treatment. She wanted to live her final days (which turned into months!) with the same grace and dignity she lived her life. I cannot say enough about how wonderful, kind and thoughtful each and every staff member was. They even brought in a sleeper couch at their expense so that my brother and I could take turns staying over, and they made sure we knew what to expect as she passed away peacefully. Aunt Marie was like a second mom to me and I will be eternally grateful to the VNA for taking such good care of her.
