"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 88 year old mother has been in assisted living at Sunrise for 9 months. So she arrived during covid of 2020. I knew as soon as I walked in that Sunrise was the place I wanted my Mom to live in. The entryway was warm and inviting, the library was on the left and a spacious and well appointed dining room was on the right. There is a grand piano and a professional pianist on staff! The courtyard at the front door is always filled with flowers and places to lounge. The back garden is quite large and well landscaped. There is a grill, umbrellaed tables, rocking chairs, and space for residents to garden. There are enclosed porches and comfy common spaces. The staff went to great lengths to provide activities and special events to ease the isolation due to covid restrictions. The food was not bad considering they were initially bringing 3 meals a day to every resident. On top of which they had snack carts go from room to room. My Mom has a studio apartment and it is more than enough space for her. The bathroom is spacious and, I for one, am happy theres no stove in the kitchenette! There are different layouts to choose from, Moms windows overlook the back gardens. The staff in every department are friendly and helpful. They know the story of every resident. It has been a joy to see the place come to life as restrictions eased. The residents are out and about and so happy and friendly. Many different activities outside the facility have returned. Inside theres everything from bingo to educational classes. My mom has had medical issues since moving, all due to her having type 2 diabetes. The nursing staff has been right there with her every step of the way. The director, the chef, the care manager, have all been quick to respond to any concerns or suggestions. I love the fact that Sunrise is so well landscaped, but urban living is a block away. There is public transportation into Harvard Square in Cambridge, where there are great museums and sights and of course Harvard University. Arlington is a little more laid back than Cambridge, giving many options. I think Sunrise is a lovely community at a reasonable price."

"My mother-in-law moved into Susan Bailis Assisted Living. The facility is bright and welcoming. The people are very friendly. It is a nice place. The staff members are very helpful. My mother-in-law's room is very small, but sunny and modern. It's a one-bedroom. It seems like there are a lot of various activities for residents. They have a beauty salon, a library, a café, and a common room. My mother-in-law seems to really love the food. It's a beautiful building."

"My parents moved to Maplewood from Florida in November 2019 to be closer to the rest of our family, mostly in the Boston area. While they have had some challenges in adjusting, as well as some medical issues, my family is really glad we chose Maplewood. The staff is diligent and attentive; the nurses are very capable and caring; the food is good; the activities are often terrific. My folks' apartment is spacious and lovely. In addition, my parents have made friends, are busy, eat well, take all their meds, and get regular exercise, as well as physical therapy. My dad says everyone wants to sit with them at dinner!"

"EPOCH of Weston is a magnificent facility. The staff was wonderful and they are very caring. All the residents seemed very happy there and they feel very safe. They have people come in and do entertainment and things. They had dinners. They had coffee hours and all different things. I would recommend this facility. "

"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."

"I had visited The Falls. It was well kept-up. It was well maintained and a nice facility. I met the marketing people. They were very helpful and very thorough. They had card games, arts, and guest speakers. They were in a nice location. However, it was pretty expensive there. "

"I had moved into Wingate Residences at Needham, but I had to move out again, not that I got sick and nobody around me got sick, but I knew I'd be in lockdown in their senior living and that would defeat the purpose of my living there, so I moved back home. I was there for a couple of weeks. They were very nice. It was a lovely place. They provide excellent service, good food, and things that you would hope for, but I didn't want to be isolated. There's a library, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a theater, but I couldn't take advantage of any of these things because of the Covid lockdown. I had two Covid tests, so I had to stay in quarantine the whole time. The physical appearance was beautiful. I had a little experience with the activities. I heard an excellent lecture on my first day, but then I had to go on quarantine, so I didn't get to experience anything."

"We went to Benchmark Senior Living at Waltham Crossings. It was very nice. The location is great. The staff is very friendly and outgoing. The facility is quite nice. They are able to offer an outdoor gardening program for residents that is pretty nice. Their amenities are pretty much like others. They have programming during the day. The location is very convenient for me or for anyone who is driving there, but when you're talking about going out, it is a little limited, and that would be the only negative thing about the place."

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

"My mom stayed at Charter Senior Living of Dedham for respite care. The community is very nice and well-kept. They did go through a renovation of the property just to keep it fresh. I thought the decor was very nice. The room that we got, because it was a respite stay, was already furnished. But we did have to put a hospital bed because she's at a hospital bed at the house. That's the only thing that we kind of brought in as far as furniture-wise. But everything was really nice. The staff was good. When I was there, I met our amazing contact person. She was a sales and marketing director. She was very good. She made sure any needs that we had were met. The head of, I guess the nursing and care, was amazing. She came and checked on my mom to make sure she was receiving the level of care that she needed. They had games. They had movie nights after dinner. They had social activities. There was an issue with the elevator, so they kind of cut out some of the activities because of the elevator not working, and it was being repaired. My mom actually enjoyed the food. She thought the food was good. The times when the elevator was working, when they were able to get her downstairs, she enjoyed the other residents there. They were very welcoming and the staff was very welcoming. They cut her food up if she needed it. So everything was very good."

"My mother moved in nearly nine months ago and, originally, I was extremely hesitant sending her to live here due to preexisting reviews. It did not paint the place in a generous light, but I was working with very limited options. Taking the tour helped ease my worries. The building was extremely clean and the staff and other residents we bumped into during my visit where all extremely friendly and comforted my anxiety by saying that they enjoy living here. Since the move in date, I haven't heard any complaints from my mother. Shes become more social, often doing activities or going to entertainment. And, when I visit, she's hanging out with other residents in the common areas. She has very positive relationships with the staff members. And a lot of them go above and beyond what their job is supposed to be. They remind me a lot of a family unit. Recently they celebrated a baby shower for their kitchen staff and staff and residents alike were able to enjoy the event. For anyone who is hesitant to send their loved ones here. Don't be."

"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."
