Assisted Living Communities in Auburn, MA

"Blaire House of Milford Assisted Living had this personal touch because it looked more like a home. They were doing a little Easter Festival with an Easter banquet while we were there. The staff seemed OK. The head nurse was doing office work at the time, which concerned me because some of the staff might be spread a little thin. The place seemed clean, from what I saw. I think they need to improve on their staffing. The one-bedroom that I saw was average with a view of the back of the water tower from the railroad track, but it was OK."

"I toured Corcoran House. All they could supply was a studio, and I was looking for a one bedroom. The facility was nice, and the girl that I spoke with was really helpful. They just didn't have what I was looking for, which is a one bedroom and a Hoyer lift. The people looked happy. The facility was clean, and the employees that I spoke to were all happy. The studio apartment was very, very small. My mother right now is in an assisted living. She has a living room and a bedroom separate from each other, and that's kind of what I want for my mom. They showed me the dining area, which was nice. They showed me an exercise area, which is also like a sitting area where all the people were. Everybody seemed happy, and that was nice. They also have an area where there's a bunch of books, like a library. It used to be a school that they turned into an assisted living place, and I liked that feature. I would give them a three for the apartment. I wasn't impressed with that."

"We toured Cedarbrook Village at Ware. We looked at a couple, and this one seemed to be the best one for the needs of my father-in-law. We've met 3 or 4 of the staff. They all sound very nice. The facility is brand new. It opened in 2020, and it's a gorgeous facility. We did see an exercise class while we were there viewing it. The people were getting ready for lunch but they did have dancing and live music. They take people out. They go out for ice cream. They go out for coffee. It seems like they keep them very busy. We did see a schedule of things that they are going to be doing during the week, and they do keep them occupied."

"I found the facility itself to be pretty, neat and clean. My grandmother, a dementia patient, stayed in the locked "memory unit" side of the facility. Most of the staff members in both that section and the main section were extremely friendly. I also liked the fact that they allowed visiting dogs and had a live-in cat, which helped to improve the mood of the residents.However, communication between staff members was sometimes lacking. For example, we would often call ahead and ask staff to get my grandmother ready so that my father and I could take her to doctor or dentist appointments and get her there on time. Sometimes this would work, but other times we would arrive to pick her up and find her in the middle of eating a meal or participating in an activity and not at all ready to go.I would certainly recommend the facility to others whose family members require extra care, but I do wish they they would streamline their staff communication. "

"Orchard Hill was a lovely community. It was the size that I wanted. The grounds were beautiful. Everybody was friendly. All their apartments were assisted living size. So, they were small. They had studio and one bedroom. "

"I thought the facility was very nice. I met a few of the staff members while I was visiting and they were all very helpful. My aunt seemed to really enjoy the company and help she was receiving. I would send another relative there if I had to. I think the nursing staff was very educated and knew what they were talking about. "

"My parents moved in a week ago and have had a wonderful experience. The staff is so friendly and caring, the facility and grounds are beautiful, and there are so many activities! I highly recommend this Senior Living facility."

"I am living here without problems. It's a very nice place in a large home. It's a retirement, assisted, and health center. I have a two-room apartment with all the facilities I wanted. The staff is fine. We have the housemaid, maintenance, waitresses, and cooking crew. I don't have any complaints about the food. We get three meals a day and have various activities. At least three times a week, they have an individual or a group come in to sing or dance, and once a while they take you to a local point of interest. I chose this place because it's one mile from our home, and I know the area very well. "

"I toured All American Assisted Living at Wrentham. I had nothing negative to say about my entire experience. The woman I met was fantastic. She was very good and very informative, so I was impressed with that. She took me to one of the rooms that they would be renting. We really had a nice conversation for a long time. I felt like she really tried to understand my mother. I actually met other people that live there, which was kind of nice. One of them came up and sat down with me, and it was wonderful. I also met a few people that work there. I really felt like I got to know the place and got a feel for it. They have physical therapy. They talked about how certain kinds of therapies could be billed to the insurance company directly, so I don't have to worry about taking her somewhere or having someone come in. They did talk about the different services that are available. They have a hairdressing salon and a nail salon."

"My wife is in the Life Care Center of Auburn for rehabilitation. She has a broken pelvis, so all they can do is work on building her upper strength until that time when she can get back on her feet. Her living space is clean and more than adequate. They are very friendly, very clean, and very attentive. I'd say they're exemplary. The food ranges from very good to fair depending on what they're making."

"Goddard House was small. It was conveniently located for the family to go visit. My friend liked it very much. The level of care and all of them have been outstanding. They were so friendly and very accommodating, and they make you feel welcome the minute you go in there. They brought us into the bedrooms, those were spacious. This was all on one level, so my friend didn't have a lot of walking to do. It's convenient for her cause she has difficulty. The dining room and the rooms were very nice."

"I am very pleased to be able to write a review for Christopher Heights. A loved one was placed there by her family at the start of this year after needing assistance with daily living. During our visits with her, we have found her to be well-adjusted to her new surroundings. The staff certainly goes out of their way to make sure residents and their families are comfortable with accommodations and are receiving all the services and support necessary. The physical building is well-kept and maintained, the grounds are lovely. But certainly the most impressive features are the "non-tangibles" - that is, the caring provided by the staff. Really cannot say enough about how gracious the employees are in their interactions. Christopher House in Webster sets itself apart from the other assisted living facilities in the area by employing aides, nurses and associates who genuinely enjoy their jobs and take pride and care when dealing with the extended community. "

"We chose the Eisenberg because it was nearby. The people there all seemed wonderful and happy. We did a lot of research, and we liked the space of the secure memory unit. "

"I'm moving in to The Willows in a couple of weeks. I met some of the people, and I had a meal there; it was altogether very positive. Some friends of mine are there, so I will have company. It is close to the city where I've lived for 40 years, and I will be able to continue my contact with the people that I know. The people working there are outstanding. The community is not too expensive. The food is good. The arrangement and the activities that the Willows offers are interesting. The apartments are attractive and so are the houses that they have. "
