Assisted Living Communities in Falmouth, MA

"Whaler's Cove Assisted Living was a great place. It's beautiful. It used to be a department store a long time ago. It's very beautiful inside, and it's got elevators to everywhere. You bring your own furniture and you decorate your apartment the way you want it to be. It's kind of an extension of where you came from. It's a little expensive. One of the things that I thought was good is that they have a sliding scale and you can kind of negotiate the prices depending on what your needs are. The staff during the tour was terrific. She explained everything. She showed me everything. She introduced me to one of the residents so that we could get to see an apartment. I think the bedrooms in those apartments are bigger than my bedroom at home. It was a busy day for them. She had some things going on in the auditorium that she had to be at, so there wasn't time to do anything like eat there. It looked very clean. There's a big reception area when you go in the front door. It was very quiet there, except people were going up and down the elevators. It was a Saturday when I went there, so some of them were probably going off to spend some time with family and stuff like that. They have a lot of activities there. They have a big auditorium that shows movies and a full-size movie screen like you'd see in a theater. They have a library. They have a lot of good things. One of the things that impressed me about it is the fact that it's a very active community."

"The Mill Hill Residences is such a warm and inviting community. My mother has been a resident for the last 18 months and I cannot say enough wonderful things about the food, staff, rooms, activities etc. My siblings and I feel fortunate to have found such a perfect fit for our mom!"

"I went to Maplewood at Mayflower Place. Our tour guide, Julie, was exceptional. She took so much time with us, and since it was our first place we had a ton of questions. We were very impressed with the whole place. One of the impressive points is that their independent and assisted care is combined. So if my friend went to independent care but then was disabled somehow and needed assistance, she would not have to move. She would stay in her same place and just get the care she needed. The dining room is combined, so if she had a friend who left and went to assisted care, she wouldn't really be leaving. She would just be getting new services, so that seemed exceptional to both of us. She would move once and not move again unless she, of course, had dementia, but then they can accommodate that in a separate facility. Their accommodations, their amenities, everything was topnotch. We saw three apartments and she could see herself staying there. The room sizes had a variety. The kitchens were all the same and adequate, and the bathrooms were spacious and handicap accessible. The differences were the bedroom, living, and dining options, but the decks were spacious. One apartment had two decks. They seemed airy and the rooms were very bright and the ceilings were high, so you didn't feel closed in at all. We were given a coffee cake, which was exceptional, but we have not had a meal there. We have decided to come back for one."

"Larry was our tour guide at Thirwood Place and he was very well informed and answered all our questions. We toured one apartment and the amenities and the apartment were all topnotch. Especially impressive was the menu and the options for food throughout the day. They have a little cafe and a little pub next to the restaurant. The place gives you ten guests for free throughout the month. It was a very welcoming place for family and friends, which my friend has a lot of here. She likes the outdoor space and the patios on the first floor. Although the Thirwood grounds are beautiful, we did not see patios that had good views, and the decks were kind of small, but they have a greenhouse where she can put her winter plants. In general, the place was impressive."

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"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."

"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."

"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. "

"My mother is happy at The Oaks. They got everything. They got barbecues outside and they have game rooms and TV rooms. She loves to eat. She loves her food. She's gained ten pounds since she's been at the Oaks. Her room is very clean. They call me once or twice a week to tell me whatever is going on and if everything's OK. She doesn't do much of the activities, but they have anything that they want to do. The facility is very nice. The staff is wonderful. They do everything that they can to make them comfortable. They're very good. I have no complaints with any of them. They have conference rooms and private rooms. For people that want to come visit their family and they want a private room, they have that. They have a room where they just go in and sit and they have pastries, coffee, and donuts in the morning. They have another room with all kinds of activities, games, puzzles, and TV, and every room has their own nurse that watches all the people that go in each room. They're very good. It's a very successful place."

"We have seen Autumn Glen at Dartmouth a few times, and that's where my mom will be staying. The staff is extremely friendly and the place is extremely clean. We have a mentally challenged sister that's going to be staying there as well, besides my mother, and they were also very accommodating to her. Their prices are average for this area. The residents seemed happy and the assisted living was really nice, because you can get in and out easily. Everything was secure, and every room was very clean. They gave us some little cake ball things that we took home, and they were delicious. The layout is pretty nice too. They're in the middle of constructing a coffee shop, so it's a little bit askew, but when that's done, that'll be really nice."
