Assisted Living Communities in Fall River, MA

"My mom is in Atria Fairhaven. She has been in for a few years now, and she has received good care. The accommodations are very nice. They have different kinds of rooms, you have your options in terms of your apartment. The food is very good. You have your choices, and it's menu style. They have a nice dining room. They have an activities room. They do sometimes get outdoor entertainment things (weather permitting). They handle the pandemic very well. I have to say, I was very pleased with all of the protocols that were put into place during the pandemic. It was good. Right now, they're COVID free, so that's good as well. The staff there (particularly the women that helped care for my mother) are very nice, very caring, very supportive, and very kind. So I've always been very pleased with all the assistance that she's received. They have activities. They take them out on scenic tours. They don't get out anywhere, and that's all having to do with COVID. They take them out on scenic tours. They bring in entertainment, and they were doing them outdoors for safety reasons. They have an activities director, and they have a lot of options for anybody who is interested. The food is very good. It is clean. They do a good job with housekeeping and cleanliness. It's not overly expensive."

"The rooms are pretty roomy and sufficient. The ones that were furnished were pretty nice. All in all it's pretty good, and we are considering placing my mom in that facility. They have plenty of activities, and they a offer lot amenities for the people that live there. "

"My sister was there a few weeks recuperating from a fall at home. Everyone there were so passionate and caring. She had a beautiful room , she enjoyed all the meals that were served and had many social activities to join in if she was interested. She was very happy there and we were so relieved to have her being taken care of until she felt better to return home. "

"I went to see Wingate Residences on Blackstone Boulevard. It was a big high-rise building, so it was tough to get from place to place in the building. It was very big but it had everything. My biggest problem with this place was that it was pricey. The staff was great, they were wonderful. They had everything you can imagine there and more, they had a salon, they had a gym, they had massages, and they had all kinds of stuff. In terms of location, everything is there."

"My aunt will be moving into The Highlands on the East Side. The tour was very good. Chloe took me around to all the places. We looked at three different types of rooms. The grounds are well-kept. The people were very friendly, and they have resident ambassadors, which I liked. They helped the new people to assimilate into the community, get them active, and help them make friends and things like that. I like that about them. They're right in the city, so they're close to everything, even the hospital. The 1 bedroom was very nicely sized with a walk-in closet. The studios are a decent size as well, but my aunt wanted a 1-bedroom. There are typical activities like at other assisted living places, but some of the residents were even doing their own type of classes. One guy was teaching other people how to use the computer. There were other places where people were reading together. There was a really nice outdoor patio. They have a library, a beauty salon, and a courtyard. Chloe is wonderful, she's the main person that we've been dealing with and she's even called to check up on how my aunt is doing in the hospital. I don't know the full layout of the facility because we only went down one hallway and up to the second floor. It looks pretty decent, and it's not too big. This place was easy to manage. The hallways were nice and there were elevators. They provide three meals a day."

"I toured Tamarisk with a group, and we ate at a private dining room, and it was pleasant. They have good activities: movies, television, recreation, and trips. The staff was very pleasant towards the visitors and, I assume, towards the residents. They have a porch in the rooms so you have a little private outdoor space. The dining area is a very pleasant, nice, big, bright room. It’s got more buildings I think than some of the others, and about 80 residents there, but the location is close to my Synagogue "

"All American Assisted Living at Warwick was close to where we are. My father moved into assisted living. It's good. The staff was very good; they were helpful and friendly. From what I understand, the food is good. At first it was delivered to his room. Delivery was a little slower, and the food was a little colder, but he's fine now that he's going down to the dining room. The facility is very nice looking."

"We visited with my parents. They stayed for lunch and thoroughly enjoyed the food; that was a big thing for them. They selected a 1-bedroom apartment. There was a very good level of activities which was another aspect that they're interested in. It had a workout area and they have bingo available 5 days a week. "

"All American Assisted Living at Raynham was great. We liked it, and it was our first choice. The rooms were very nice. They had one apartment that had a bigger room and it was nice, but it was obviously more expensive. The tour guide was very pleasant and answered our questions. We just thought the price was higher than we had expected. It was not as homey as the others, but it was adequate. They said they had amenities, but we didn't see any in action. They had music nights, bingo, other games, and a van for transportation if somebody wanted to go shopping or whatever. The staff was excellent."

"Chapel Hill Senior Living was exceptionally beautiful inside. They had an apartment that would be very, very doable for me and my husband. He's wheelchair-bound most of the time so that worked, as long as he can do transfers, which he can. The building itself and everything was very, very nice. When I walked in, I felt like I had just come home. I was there when they were serving meals because they went to the dining room, and the food looked really good, but I haven't tried it yet. They have a garden club where they actually grow their own vegetables and then they give them to the kitchen, so the kitchen can use them in all their meals. They have a happy hour. They have activities every day. They go out on activities. They will also bring you to doctors' appointments if you have an appointment, but also they have a doctor that will come in. They have podiatry. They will come in and clip your toenails. They have a lot of different things like that. They have entertainment. It seemed like it was a good fit, but not an overwhelming fit. The staff during the tour is Bethany. She was fabulous. She will go as far as coming to our house to kind of give my husband an overview of what everything's about and bring him some kind of dessert. She'll go out of her way for you. My son and daughter and daughter-in-law had a tour after I had a tour and they were very impressed with it, too, and they liked her. I got to meet the nurse over there and she was very nice. Everybody was just friendly. They call all the residents by name. It's a happy environment. It was totally clean. I didn't come across any area that wasn't clean."

"All American Assisted Living at Wareham was a very nice assisted living community. I say it's a very nice assisted living community. Everything was nice from the rooms to the living areas, to the staff, and the outdoor areas were beautiful. A lot of things to engage their tenants. They had a nice dining room. Plus they had a nice cafe. If you didn't want to eat in the big dining room, you could eat in the cafe. They have a little pub in there, where I think they have little happy hours, get-togethers daily. They have trips. You can go to your medical appointments with the van that goes on Tuesdays and Thursdays. Free laundry. If you're going to do it yourself, or somebody in your family, I think it's a small fee if you have somebody there to do it for you. Just very cozy. Lots of activities. It's very nice."

"Most of the staff at Smithfield Woods Senior Living seemed like they've been there for quite a few years. They had a chapel that was inside of the building that the residents could go to, which was very nice and was a plus for me. They have vans that they drive people in and they have a movie room. It was an older building but it was under construction. They were changing one of the wings to make it all just memory care. The one thing I like about it is that it's one floor for memory care. The other ones I've been to, they had to go to another floor for meals and I found that kind of hard for my mother to manage because she would be too confused. I didn't see too many of the staff, I don't know whether I went during an odd time or they were all busy. The ones I did meet were very pleasant. The one who did the tour was very nice, she answered all my questions, she wasn't pushy, and she got back to me if I had questions like she would email me back or call me. The place just needs updating a little like on certain areas of it."

"All American Assisted Living at Wrentham was well laid out. The staff seemed to be very available and knowledgeable about the residents. The residents' locations were nicely designed. They had a library, dining rooms, outside space, and walking trails. They seemed to have a lot of group activities available. I thought it was a well-planned community. There was a different activities room that they use for a lot of different things. Another room was also multifunctional that they use for exercises a couple of times a week. They had a whole schedule of different activities, people that came in to do different things, for occupation or entertainment. They have memory care, but I was not looking for that."

"Wingate Residences at Silver Lake was a little older, but it's well kept, smells good, and looks good. The whole area was carpeted. I felt the staff were top shelf. They were very accommodating and very understanding. They brought us around and showed us the room. I felt the room was very well equipped, yet again, not as nice as the brand-new facility in another place that I've been to, but it's well kept, clean, and smells good. I saw the dining area and it looked very nice. They didn't have as many amenities as far as resident activities and stuff like that, but it was still very well maintained, and I was very pleased and impressed with it. They took us to several areas, but there was very little activity that we noticed. It was 10:00 in the morning or maybe around lunchtime for them, so there were very few people that were milling about, and I didn't really see where they were."
