The Best Adult Day Care Communities in Barnstable County, MA

"This is a very nice facility. The staff is friendly and goes out of their way to ensure that the family feels welcome when visiting their loved ones. I have called numerous times and always forget the room number of my family member and they know who she is by first name and her exact room number. The building itself is clean and smells good. My family member is very happy with her room and with the meals she receives. She would prefer a private room to a shared one but that is unavailable at this point. She also likes the activities that are available to her and enjoys watching TV with the other residents in the recreation room. We, the family, really appreciate how attentive the staff is to any changes our family member might be going through. If she has a bad day they are very aware of it and let us know what happened and why they think she was agitated. They spend the time to chat with her and make her tranistion from being independent to now being under their care a seamless one. We are very happy to have found this facility. "

"The Senior Center of Dennis picks up my husband anywhere between 9:00 and 9:30 in the morning three days a week and they bring him back around 2:15 to 2:45 in the afternoon depending on how many people are on the bus. I think the program is outstanding and it is simple. They have discussion groups, they read the paper, play Bingo, and he enjoys it. There's a 92 year-old who goes and plays the piano and still sings all the songs, and they love that. Then they have their lunch. They have two volunteers that are members of the senior center that comes; one woman does two days a week, and the other one does the Friday. I am impressed with the staff. "

"I was generally not impressed with Royal of Harwich. I realize it's an antique house, but the rooms were old-looking. It's all so old and sort of shabby, and I wasn't sure that it's actually clean. The dining room was just a room with tables in a big open space. The staff who showed me around was nice, but she just kind of gave me a quick tour because I don't believe it's her job. When I walked in, there was an aide or a nurse on the first floor and then they have a balcony above, and there was another aide up above yelling back and forth about somebody's medication. It just didn't hit me. They didn't really seem safe either because they showed me a studio with an outside door to a little brick patio with no railing whatsoever. Any elderly person going out there could just fall off. It wasn't raised, and it was on ground level, but you'd have to step down, which is hard to do with a walker."

"What I like about Royal is that it's close to my house and I can just visit my Aunt anytime. The nurses and staff working there were very good and I have no complaints about them. She is in a 3 bedroom but she has dementia so she is not in her room too often. I haven't heard her complaining about the food. Other people have but she is not complaining so that's fine. "

"My father-in-law is at Pleasant Bay Nursing & Rehabilitation Center. It's a great group of professionals who came along fine and helped out my father-in-law to the point where he's sorry, he's leaving, which is amazing to me. He likes the food a lot. The staff is very friendly, very attentive, very patient, and very timely. You didn't have to wait, when you needed somebody, very long at all. The physical therapists were fantastic. The doctors were stretched and it might be because we had a couple of holidays while he was in there. The weekends are a bit slower. It's really good, but the facility is a little bit dated."

"My Mother has been at JML Care Centers ADH Program for 2 years. The staff is excellent and takes good care of her. There is always a staff member at the door to friendly greet her and help her to her seat. The Nurses are certified in Alzheimer's Disease and offer helpful hints to help us through the Alzheimier's journery. There are activities,musical entertainers and daily exercise.She is mentally and physically stimulated through out the day. The ADH Program allows me to work without worrying about her.Thank you to the staff at JML Care Centers Adult Day Program. "
