"My mom moved into Evans Park at Newton Corner a month ago. It was very clean and calm. They had programs running all around. Every time I was there, something was going on. They have loud music, great video, and entertainment. It was pretty good. The staff members were very helpful and very friendly. They took care of her needs, like once she needed to go to the bathroom, and they came in like a minute later. So everything was fine. Her room was very clean. It was just one bedroom. It was a good size and had a desk, a TV, and a bathroom. It was nice, and it was more than what she needed. They have smaller rooms, and that was the hangout room. In one room, there was music playing. In another room, there was something else going on and stuff like that. So it wasn't just one big room."

"Sunrise of Arlington facilities seemed attractive. We saw the studio, companion suite, the dining areas, and some outdoor space. There was a dog barking when we walked in. The location was great. "

"Sunrise of Newton is smaller than the others I went to. It's a newer facility, and they're still working things out. It was nice, the rooms were average, the food was fine. The staff member was very knowledgeable, she had a friendly demeanor, and she knew her stuff. They had a theater, and they were doing activities in the memory center. Everything was clean."

"We chose them for my aunt. It's very warm, cozy, and beautiful; beautiful in architecture, and everything about it. It's a nice, warm place when you first step in. The staff is very attentive to the clients. The food is fantastic, and the residents are very happy. Lots of activities. They have bingo, trips, arts and crafts, they have a welcoming party when you first come in which is a phenomenal thing. A welcome dinner which made her really at home with a deejay, food, and family invited. It was a nice experience when you first came in."

"The Gables was a nice, quaint place on a waterfront that was close to Sutton and conveniences. I liked its ambiance. "

"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."

"Sophia Snow Place was pleasant. I had no issues with it; it just wouldn't serve my friend's purposes. It was clean, the people were friendly, and they seemed to enjoy living there. The person who I spoke with was very pleasant."

"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."

"My mother is at Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn and has been for the last month. It’s very nice, clean, and brand new. The people are so nice and friendly. She has not been doing well mentally, but it’s been the last couple of weeks that she was really taken of. She’s met some good people there her own age; they’ve really bonded, and she is a completely different person. They have different sizes of apartments, and my mother is in a deluxe studio which has plenty of room. She has a little bit of a memory issue, so it’s a perfect size for her. It fits her bedroom furniture, a lovely little couch, and her television. The room is beautifully appointed. It has a little kitchenette and a big beautiful bathroom. They all have to wear a GPS on them on their necklaces. I hadn’t seen this in other facilities when I looked at them. They have a hair salon and a gym. They had a kitchen where they had cooking classes on Saturdays, and a couple of days this week, they baked holiday cookies. Near the lobby, they have a nice sitting area with a big screen TV, and they have their happy hour there at 4 or 4:30 every day with hors d’oeuvres and entertainment. Then they go into dinner where the dining room is adjoined with this room. On each floor, there are a couple of sitting areas where there’s a couch, chairs, and a television, and you can get out of your room and go sit somewhere else. Everybody stays together. My mother can easily go out around the building. They have walking tours where they’ll put them all on a bus and go over to Holland Pond and Winchester or walk around the pond which is nice. This week, they’ve gone to a play. They have TED talks. They have people that come in and every day, they have an hour to talk about the news and have a discussion. They have a church. They’d take folks who want to go to church to church. They have a rosary for a half hour. They have trivia with the receptionist every day. They do a lot of things to keep the intellect stimulated.

"My mom has been at Atria Marina Place Assisted Living for about 6 months. I looked at many assisted living places, as I was fearing for my mom's safety. She was reluctant to leave her home, where she had lived for over 45 years, but between the gas stove and the stairs, I was afraid she was an accident waiting to happen. I chose Atria Marina Bay for my mom as I was impressed with the cleanliness of the facility, the many activities, and most of all, the staff. I have not been disappointed. I had to bring my mom to the hospital once, as the staff noticed a change in her behavior, which may not have been noticed or discovered had she still been living alone. Mom is eating better and has made many friends, and I truly believe she is better off than she was 6 months ago. She is much more engaged and alert. There is always something to do and someone to do it with. If the staff notices that she is not participating, they will knock on her door and encourage her to attend whatever activity is going on. I sleep better knowing she is being well taken care of. Ideally my mom would still be in her own home, but even she has admitted that if she cannot be in her own home, then Atria Marina Place is the next best thing. "

"I've decided that when the time comes, Benchmark Senior Living at Waltham Crossings would be my choice. They were aware that I don't feel that I'm ready to move in yet. When the right time comes, then I know where I want to go. Amanda gave us an excellent tour. She was very informative and very nice. She showed us everything. I was very impressed with her. She showed us an available apartment, and all the different amenities that they had. She showed us where they had movies, where they played bingo and the rooms where you could entertain if you had a family that you wanted to come in for dinner. The grounds were beautiful. Everything was to my satisfaction."

"My sister is at Sunrise of Burlington. I would recommend them. The price is comparable with others. Everything is satisfactory. The activities are very satisfactory too. The workers are very nice. One worker there is exceptionally nice. The rooms are very nice. I had one meal there and it was satisfactory."

"Atria Longmeadow Place seemed like a well-managed and nice place to live. They had wonderful food and wonderful staff. The front of it was OK. It looks out to the parking lot. (Although if you're up higher in the front, you would see trees.) I liked more the view from the back. It is more of a bucolic setting. You see a lot of trees, woods, and stuff. It's pretty. The activities they have are excellent. I was impressed by the fact that they will transport people to doctors' appointments at a pretty big distance. The activities director was very nice and charming."
