"When I knew my sister needed to live in an assisted living/memory care facility, I developed the criteria that I felt was important. Ideally I wanted the facility to be near me so I readily could have 'easy' contact for visits and to meet whatever needs might arise. I wanted the facility to provide safety and security for her, a social setting to combat loneliness and activities to keep her engaged. I wanted her to be able to live her life as fully as she was able. Living in Hingham myself, I looked to Google to see what (if any) facility might exist in my immediate area. When seeing that Allerton House was an option, I called to make an appointment with the Marketing Manager. Upon entering the site, I was blown away. It was very well appointed - actually beautiful - and had the look and feel of a private residence. Once the Manager explained the services and answered my initial questions, I was shown an actual unit. I was convinced my search was over. My prayers were answered! Initially I secured a unit in the assisted living portion of Allerton. After two years., my sister relocated to the memory cars area in a wing of Allerton. Simple transition. Fast forwarding, my sister has lived at Allerton for 3 1/4 years now. She loves it !! And I love it. The care and attention she receives daily has made her feel loved, comfortable and secure. No more being responsible for cooking, cleaning etc. and other pesky chores. And she dines in a restaurant quality dining room daily. She often raves about the variety and quality of the food. And the availability of snacks and special offerings for occasions is a bonus. She is an active participant in the numerous activities, enjoys the bus trips to various local sites and has made many friends - no longer alone in a big house. Among her friends are the staff who are extremely caring and supportive. I am kept completely informed of any concerns the staff may have of her needs both medically and socially. We communicate in person, by telephone or by text. The management, nursing staff, aides, receptionists and maintenance staff are exemplary - each and every one. Being the primary giver, Allerton House has given me peace of mind. I know my sister is happy and being well cared for while living her life in a nurturing and loving environment. Hats off to the staff at Allerton who consistently - particularly during these trying times - meet her needs and my expectations and then some! Amen. "
