Assisted Living Communities in Stoneham, MA

"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."

"This is a great community. My mother moved in in May and although she was very hesitant at first, the security and community has been great for her. The staff are very pleasant and kind and I feel very comfortable with her living there. She loves the food and dining options as well, and has participated in more and more activities and outing as time goes on."

"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 checked out Prospect House. It was great, but the price was very high. The people were great. I made an appointment, I was there, and they were waiting for me. I didn't wait, and they did the tour for me. They gave me very good information, and they gave me their business card. They were nice people. I visited the leader of the memory care, Cheryl, and she was great. Nicole was my tour guide. They were great, but the prices for me were way too much. However, the customer service was awesome. The common area was excellent. The room was excellent. There was one studio available, and it was $9,000. It was the memory section, but it's too much."

"My father has been in Brigham House for about a week now. It's just perfect, and they are incredibly helpful. I was looking for an economical alternative in Massachusetts, and Brigham House accepts assistance on some of their residents, which some places don't. It's very clean. They've had no COVID outbreaks, and the staff seems very professional and fabulous. I looked at their Facebook page and it had a lot of positive pictures and positive comments on it, and it's only a mile from where I live. His room is a studio, and it's relatively small. It's 440 square feet, but it's laid out nicely. He has a small kitchenette and they allow their residents to have a cook service, which is fine. He's 98 and he really shouldn't be cooking for himself anyway. The bathroom is very nicely sized and he can get his walker in it very easily. It has a shower stall and they're assisting him with bathing as well. It's an old school and they had it rehabilitated. His room has very large windows, so it's very bright and sunny, which is nice. It's incredibly clean, and it really was a good fit. He'll be getting all of his meals, and they'll change his sheets and wash his towels weekly, which is a big help. At this point in time, he doesn't need help with his medications, but that's available, and I think that's gonna be coming down the road. The food is very good, and they have quite a few activities there. My father is new, so he hasn't been able to participate yet because he's been in quarantine for the first few days there, but they do memory games, bingo, and some movement classes for people. They have a nice variety of activities, and they sponsor movies in the common rooms in the evenings. "

"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."

"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."

"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 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."

"I visited Susan Bailis. That place was to die for with a cute setup. The room was a one-bedroom with a living room. The people were very nice. The sitting area was very quaint, and it smelled good in there. It’s a fairly new place. The staff was excellent, especially the woman at the front door. They had underground parking, so visitors could stay as long as we want. I love it."

"I liked Providence House Assisted Living. It was bright, and it was accessible. There was parking there. The staff was very nice. It's very clean. I was surprised by how bright it was. It didn't feel like a nursing home. They had things for the people to participate in. They have transportation if you don't have a car to go shopping three times a week. There are studios and apartments. They have a hair salon. They were playing Wheel of Fortune. They have tons of puzzles, and they have a library. Providence House is my favorite."

"I visited Sunrise of Newton. They've got very personalized service and multiple levels of care. There are just a couple of things that don't fit our particular situation. The person during the tour, Eric, was very good. The rooms were very, very stylish, well appointed, and were easy to navigate. It's a very good facility."

"Benchmark Senior Living at Billerica Crossings was a quaint and attractive facility. The staff and everybody we encountered seemed fully engaged. One thing I noticed was most of the staff had significant tenure there, which tells me that they're happy and I think this is important to consider as well. Michelle was the lady that did the tour and she was fantastic, very accommodating, and answered all our questions. She just did a great job. As far as amenities offered, they all seemed to be the same. I didn't notice any significant difference. They had full nurse care available until 7:00 every night and then a nurse practitioner onsite for those remaining hours of the day. The dining room was very nice, too. It was attractive and up-to-date. They offer continual service throughout the day, which I thought was very convenient as well. They had a salon and frequent day trips. They had quite an active social calendar for the residents."
