"From the moment we walked into Atria Woodbriar Park, we felt a sense of peace and comfort. Joanne greeted us with genuine warmth, and her attentiveness (as well as all the other Atria staff) has remained consistent. The environment is clean, beautifully maintained, and full of life — with residents engaging in activities, sharing meals, and enjoying the lovely outdoor spaces. What truly sets Atria Woodbriar Park apart is the way they balance independence with compassionate care. My father-in-law has found a renewed sense of purpose here, making friends and participating in events that brings joy to his days. We couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind this community has given our family. It’s not just a facility — it’s a home."

"My mother has moved into All American Assisted Living at Wareham. I like that the rooms are two-bedroom units, so they always have a roommate. They have a secure outside courtyard, and they provide a lot of activities for the residents. The staff is very caring. They make time for everyone. They don't seem stressed. Even though they may be, they have very good attitudes. She's in memory care. The food is very good."

"Sunrise of Plymouth Beach has been very accommodating and proactive. My mother-in-law is in memory care and settling in well. The surroundings are beautiful. It's right near the beach with a great view. People have been very thoughtful and responsive to the family and her. Her room is clean, homey, and convenient to the social activities area. She doesn't have to travel far to get to dining or activities. The dining area is also clean and friendly. She is very social and has made a few friends. She's a big beach person and so she's been able to visit the beach with her family who has been visiting. They are undergoing some renovations right now. Where she is is nice, but I know it's going to be better. It's expensive but you get what you pay for."

"Benchmark Senior Living at Plymouth Crossings is reasonably priced and small. There's 24-hours care there if my mom gets up at night and goes to the bathroom and stuff like that. Some of the others were just too big and they weren't going around to check on everybody. She's in assisted living. They help her with medications, bathing, and if she needs to get up they'll come and assist her to the bathroom. We like that she lives downstairs and is just down the hall. It's not like a huge building where she has to walk a lot. They cater to her and they have a lot of activities. The staff is also excellent. Her room is nice though it's not the biggest thing. She has a roommate on the other side and they share a kitchenette and a bathroom. She has her own separate room and they share a kitchen area with tables and chairs and a little refrigerator. They have music every Friday or Thursday night. They have a cocktail hour too, I just don't know if they're real cocktails or that's maybe wine. The location is easy to get to from the highway. They have transportation back and forth to doctor's appointments. They have a little minivan for any doctor's appointment that would require her to leave the facility. They have an in-house doctor too and they do all her medication twice a day. She says the food is really good. They have snacks and coffee that you can get whenever you want. Now because of COVID, you can go visit, but you have to stay contained. She goes to the dining area, but she can't have her husband go in there. They serve them lunch, it's a big meal, at the table. Whoever walks in, they take a temperature. This place is a lot cheaper than a lot of the other ones."

"Atria Fairhaven was lovely. I would have moved my aunt there in a minute if she would have gone. It was clean and bright and it smelled nice. I looked at an apartment on the first floor, and it was great. I looked at an apartment on the third floor, and it was great. The layout was good. It wasn't too far for people to get from one spot to another. I didn't meet that many people, but the people that I met were welcoming."

"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 staff at Decatur House was lovely. The people who owned it were very attentive and caring. It's a small family-owned place, which gave it an entirely different feel than the other places. This would have been our top choice had we been able to convince my parents-in-law to move. The rooms were open, roomy, and efficiently designed. The entire place was very accessible too. It was easy to park, easy to see the signage, and easy to find the entrance. Since it's smaller than a lot of places, it was much more accessible. Their dining area was bright, open, and looked like a dining area in a restaurant. It's very lovely and very nicely appointed. We ran into some of the residents and they looked happy and comfortable as well. It's a very big house, but it looked like someone's home. It was very nice and immaculate."

"Laurentide at Mashpee Commons was quiet and not huge. The facility was new. One of the little apartments had an alcove, which was really cute. They had a big common area in the back that kind of tied everything together. It was beautiful. They had a huge fireplace in a room where they can watch movies or something at night. They provide a microwave and a refrigerator. You have to bring your own furniture. The staff was very nice and personable. I liked her a lot."

"My sister will be moving into the Cape Cod Senior Residences. It was a smaller place than the others we had visited, and that's what my sister was looking for. It was cozier and more like home. My sister will have a kitchenette, and it has a small refrigerator and a microwave. There is no stovetop. It has a huge bedroom. It is nice and roomy. The living room is a good size, and the bathroom is huge. The kitchenette is part of the living room, but off to the side. It's just nicely made. She has a window. The staff was awesome and very down to earth. She wasn't pushy or anything, and she seemed to care about the patients. Everybody knew her. She seemed like the kind of person who always has a smile on her face. She had a nice personality. The facility smells nice. Everything is clean. You can tell it's always been maintained, and that includes the outside as well."

"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."

"We were able to see a variety of apartments at Heritage at Falmouth that were very nice, very bright, airy, and seemed to have ample room. They had a movie theater and a very nice kitchen that anyone could use. They had rooms that you could reserve if you wanted to do family parties, which was nice. They had lovely grounds, walking trails, and playground areas in case grandchildren were visiting. The staff was very friendly and very nice while we were there. The place was in excellent condition. The dining room and menus looked very nice. They had quite a variety, and it looked like they could accommodate just about any kind of meal plan that you would need. "

"The caring of the staff is evident. The dining room is elegant, food beautifully served. There were optional programs available to participate in; the grounds are lovely. "
