Assisted Living Communities in Cambridge, MA

"I visited Sunrise of Newton. They've got very personalized service and multiple levels of care. There are just a couple of things that don't fit our particular situation. The person during the tour, Eric, was very good. The rooms were very, very stylish, well appointed, and were easy to navigate. It's a very good facility."

"What I liked about Sunrise of Arlington MA was the proximity to where I live. But I didn't see my uncle living there. I can't quite put my finger on it, but I didn't think it would be for him. They were wonderful. They gave a great tour. It seemed like the staff was attentive, but it just didn't feel like him. It may not have been right for my uncle, but it wasn't necessarily a bad place. The staff that we interacted with seemed lovely. They have a gym, but I didn't hear them talk about a podiatrist and someone for cutting hair. They had a lovely dining area. The upkeep was OK. It was a little dated but all very clean and nice."

"The staff is very nice at Prospect House. I've been there twice. I have been working with the staff and marketing director over there for about a month now. The latter has been more than helpful even beyond what I initially asked for. The staff has been extremely helpful, very kind and compassionate. "

"Scandinavian Living Center was an absolutely lovely facility. Great staff, beautiful, lots of recreational and educational opportunities, and good food. It had beautiful rooms, small, intimate settings. You name it, they have it: music, dance, games, outside speakers coming in, and community organizations that meet in the building so the seniors can participate. You basically have a little apartment with a little bit of a kitchenette, but they had communal meals too."

"Sophia Snow Place is a very nice place. I had lunch, and the food was excellent. The director showed me around. They served all your meals and had high-quality stuff. The place was immaculate, and everyone was nice. However, I would be isolated because I don’t know anybody there, and I don't drive."

"Being at the Gables at Winchester was like being on a mini cruise ship. It was very comfortable, and they were very attentive and very clean. I just liked it a lot. The staff members were very professional, very courteous, and very good with calling back; very efficient. Each of the room has its own character as everyone's personality, so it's geared to one's preferences. I have not eaten there, but the menu sounds fantastic; it was very nice. They are very nurturing and I love that. They go to outings in Boston; they just go to all kinds of things that are happening locally. "

"I moved my mom after 5 years in a facility very close to me and spent 7 nights a week there with her and the staff. I liked most of the staff however they didnt stay long. I had many issues with management so I moved her to the Parc in January of 2020 just before the pandemic and since the move mom has received hands in care, gained weight which was a necessity and gets lots of love from the staff. She is smiling and flourishing now instead of crying and for that I’m grateful. Making the switch to the Parc was the best decision I’ve made for those looking for great care with a solid staff I highly recommend you give it a look. I give it 5."

"The Delaney at the Vale wasn't right for us, but it was a fine facility. The staff was very helpful and spent a lot of time. It really seemed ideal for a certain kind of person, but we wanted to be more urban. We are New Yorkers, and it was like a resort. It's not really what we wanted. We needed it to be closer to town, that kind of thing, but the facility itself was brand new."

"Atria Marina Place was very good. They're very clean, and the staff was responsive to all of my questions. What I liked best was the location and the people. The cookie they gave me was good. They had multiple classes and activities, an exercise room, a library, and dining areas. The outdoor space was very good. It's near where my mother lives, and it's near hospitals and restaurants."

"Benchmark Senior Living at Waltham Crossings is excellent. They're the No. 1 choice on my list. They went out of their way to deal with the rehab center for my uncle. They have really extended themselves to the limit as far as what condition they would take him in. At one point, my uncle was ready to go when they followed up and had a virtual assessment, but then the rehab center came back with a completely different picture. My uncle's needs exceeded what they were allowed to provide. The staff members went above and beyond what they needed to do. The rooms were clean, spacious and well kept. They had a lot of room for storage and closet. It would have been an ideal spot if there weren't other issues that disqualified my uncle. The facility was lovely. It was probably 10 to 12 years old. It was a beautiful and well kept building with a nice layout inside. While I was waiting for the person for the tour, there was a person there that I was able to speak with. She couldn't give it more kudos than anybody. She said she has been there for four or five years and she loves it. That was part of the reason that we gave it the No.1 place for him to go to. We got a good report from a current resident."

"We did visit Maplewood at Weston. Some of the rooms were being renovated, but we did get to see one that somebody was occupying already, so we have an idea of how they looked when they’re done renovating. They had a pool, a gym room, and a library. It was very nice. The dining area looked good. It was clean and nice. The staff was very friendly and very nice. What I like about Maplewood was that the rooms had balconies, and that was something that you wouldn’t see anywhere else. "

"The staff at Epoch has been phenomenal. They have gone out of their way to be present every day in my mother's life, from physical care to encouraging her to engage in activities making a point of getting her out of her room. My family could not be happier! "

"We found The Residences at Wingate for my mother. The community actually has two separate buildings. There is the skilled nursing building and the assisted living building. The assisted living has both normal assisted living with a dining area and entertainment, and then there’s the memory care that has the security and extra activities. They’ve worked hard to hire good people and train them to really be understanding of the residents. They seem to be doing a very good job with what they said they would be doing. They have a kitchen on-site that tries to do a good job. "

"The staff at The Falls Cordingly Dam is great. They're friendly, nice, and competent. They have three meals a day, and that's in the afternoon, and the food seems to be very good. From what I've seen, it looks like it's excellent. The place is in excellent condition, and I think it's very comfortable with the facilities. I think they do a good job maintaining it, and I think that's a strength that they have. They have activities going all of the time. My wife is in a memory care unit, and they have people on the staff singing. They have some television where they play a movie like, "My Fair Lady," and they have a fellow who used to come in and play things with somebody, but he does it through the television. So just a lot of activities going on every time I go over there. My wife moved in. I think it's absolutely worth it. I think they do a great job. I'm more than happy to pay. I had kept her at home for a while, and it didn't cost any more to have the professional help there than I made at home. So I think it's an excellent value."
