Assisted Living Communities in Somerville, MA

"We toured The Residence at Watertown Square. It looked like the floors and walls were in very good physical condition. It didn't look like it was beaten up, with people walking around with walkers and wheelchairs. So, it was in pretty good shape. I had a couple of issues, and part of it is that my dad has difficulty getting up out of chairs. He would not be able to use any of the upholstered chairs that are in the common space. He needed a solid chair to sit in with arms to push himself up, so that was one of the issues in that particular location. The second one was the thickness of the carpeting in the room I looked in. I noticed, when I stepped on it with my sneakers, that it grabbed my feet. I'm just thinking, my dad, that if it grabs his feet, he walks with walking sticks and is more prone to falling. If a unit had hardwood floors or solid floors instead of carpet, that might be something he needs. The woman there, Amanda, indicated that they may be able to replace the carpeting. They want to be accommodating to the people. So, that's a good thing. Everything was easy to access, including the elevator and the laundry room. Those were positives. People were having lunch at that time, and they all seemed happy, and there was no controversy. It's a good setting. Amanda was very nice and considerate."

"I could see my uncle at Evans Park at Newton Corner and be happy there. I like that it seemed they would be very attentive. They also seemed to be able to have the staff and support that my uncle would need. The two people that we interacted with were lovely. Their approach, their explanation, and their attention to detail were all something that I enjoyed experiencing. They had a lot of wonderful things that they offer there. They have a salon. They had a barber who would come to my uncle's room and cut his hair. They have a podiatrist that would help with cutting toenails. So those things are important, and they have them in place."

"My friends unit is lovely and overlooks the bike path. The food is delicious. Juan does an outstanding job. The staff is kind and welcoming."

"I like Sunrise of Newton. I like the openness of the hallways and the elevators. Because it's new, they were able to have more space. They took time to follow up and answer my questions. They have a fridge in the room, but of course, they don't have a stove. They have a backyard. They have grills and things like that out there."

"Our family was at a standstill when our elderly mom was living on her own and experiencing more and more health issues than we could provide assistance for her privately. It took a while to convince her she needed help after living an independent life for so long. We contacted The Parc @ Harborview and within days we toured, she loved it, we moved her in. She immediately adapted to her new surroundings. The best thing is that the care she receives at the Parc is top notch. Aids check on her throughout the day and night. They are sure she gets to her meals in their elegant dining area and eating healthy choices with companions. She is greatly encouraged to join the other residents in their activities and social gatherings (which are many). She made friends with residents and staff and her loneliness and health have taken a complete turnaround. I thank the great staff at the Parc from Anita and Burt at the front desk, health care professionals, and all employees who help in sharing their time and care for the residents. I would highly suggest taking a look if you or your family member is feeling alone or unsafe living alone. This is the place to be. Super plus plus plus, the facility is spotless with lots of gathering areas throughout for family to meet with their loved one. Thanks to all for being there, I can sleep at night knowing Mom is in the best hands."

"I went to The Residence at Boylston Place. I was treated very well. They're upgrading their facility, so there was some construction going on but it didn't bother me. They're making it even nicer. By the time I'd be ready to move in if I did go there, it would be even more beautiful. It's a very nice architecture outside and inside. It's being brought up-to-date very nicely. The staff during the tour was very helpful. They have three meals a day and transportation and utilities are paid for. It's very attractive architecture and it's very clean. The dining area had very good lighting, was very spacious, and it looked like it would be an excellent place to sit down and dine and talk to residents."

"Sophia Snow Place is all inclusive, so Mom has assistance with anything she needs. She has meal choices, 3 times a day plus the pastry cart in the morning, help with showering and meds, does yoga and has wonderful caregivers, she loves them all. They are consistent and helpful and pleasant and she feels very secure. The facility itself is immaculately clean, her room is very large and comfortable. The people are organized and helpful, there is someone at the door who knows when people go in and out. They were referred to us by the nurses that do care there, and it was a great decision. There is nothing that she misses from home!"

"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."

"I saw the Benchmark Senior Living at Woburn. I thought the facility was wonderful. The woman who gave us the tour was great. They had a lot to offer. The one I interacted with seemed lovely. They had a lovely courtyard. A group had just come back from the memory care unit for a little trip outside. Some were in wheelchairs, so it didn't impede the fact that residents who were in wheelchairs were still taken out for a little drive, which I thought was lovely."

"Atria Marina Place looked decent. The person I talked to there was good. He took us around and showed us everything and explained everything to us. I think his name was Kevin and he was very friendly. He showed me all the areas where they cook and all the places that the residents hang out. It's really lovely. The room that was shown to us was refurbished. It's a really nice place. Everything is just up to date and I really love the place. It was clean. They have a patio, a salon, bingo, and games that they play."

"We went to look at Benchmark Senior Living at Waltham Crossings. The people who met up with us were all very nice. They were willing to answer any questions. They were very friendly and gave us a full tour of the facility, including the rooms and the dining area. We also got to speak to some of the residents who were sitting around outside, and it was good. It was an overall good experience. It did fit what we needed, and it would have been a good place if my mother had to go. It was a very good facility. They had a salon."

"Sunrise of Burlington MA's accommodations are great and the place is very nice. The memory care portion there would have cost us more money because we would have needed to hire somebody to come in for 24-hour care. They do laundry and housekeeping. The rooms were very nice. The residents came right over and were excited to talk about living there. They welcomed us and they were very sweet. They looked happy, joked around, and they interacted with us. They were very cute."
