The Best Assisted Living Communities in Cheshire County, NH

"My brother-in-law is already in Thompson House. The staff that I met all seemed very well qualified, very kind, and very nice. It’s certainly clean. My brother-in-law is doing far better since he’s been there, so he seems to be well cared for. He’s obviously getting better nutrition, and better meds management than he had at home. So, he’s looking better and sounding clearer. He does have some dementia so he can be bad. He clearly sounds more lucid, and clearer since he’s been there; so I think he’s being well cared for. It looks more institutional. It does not look like a home at all. On the other hand, everybody seems kind, responsive, well-qualified, and the care is very good. So far, I’m very happy with it. "

"I visited this facility. This place is nice and is close to Brattleboro downtown area. I didn't have time to look at the rooms and didn't have interaction with the staff either. There's a lot of land to sit and walk. I saw the residents eating in a dining room which was really beautiful. Some residents were doing crafts, knitting and painting. During that time, workers were busy enlarging the buildings and doing some renovations. "

"Vernon Green had the most compassionate staff I have seen. I, unfortunately, had to have my grandfather placed in a facility for the last few weeks of his life. I felt extremely guilty because I had promised him I would never do this. His doctor and I decided this was the right route to take to re-evaluate his medications and hopefully get him on the right track. This ended up being the wrong decision as he passed away a couple weeks later. The staff was extraordinary. The facility is extremely clean and people take their jobs seriously -- from the housekeepers to the kitchen staff to the janitors to the executives etc. There are several activities for participants to take part of and enjoy. There are three different levels at the facility -- assisted living, the Alzheimer's unit and the general nursing home area. "

"What a beautiful Assisted Living. Grand Entrance, beautiful gazebo room for all kinds of daily activities. Everyone is very friendly and such a safe place!"

"My dad is at West River Valley Assisted Living. They're very attentive and they involve my father in all kinds of events. They welcomed him into the community, and he is seeing people that he's lived with, in a previous town. It is a blessing. It is very clean. He's in assisted living and they upkeep everything from housekeeping to change his bed, get his vitals, making sure he's eating, and they check on him numerous times of the day. They also give him beverages. I would recommend this to anybody. My sister and I are right here currently at his residence, and dad is in a activity right now as we speak. They have crackers, cheese, wine, and just a little social event to attract people. He's been invited to an exercise group and bingo. They invite him down to breakfast, lunch, and dinner, and if he doesn't come down, they will come to get him or bring his food to him. There are quite a few openings here as well, so I invite everyone here."

"The staff was cheerful and pleasant, the setting beaucolic and the building was charming. I was just expecting a more modern facility, though she was quite pleased with the staff and other residents, not to mention how close she was to a church, for Sunday services. I'll be visiting again later this summer and look forward to relaxing outside with her. "

"My mother has been happy at the Arbors, thought initially the move was challenging. To leave her long time home after the death of my father took some adjustment, but she had the right attitude and she had found the right place. The staff is friendly and helpful, the facility clean and well managed. The apartments are small, but still offer privacy to the residents. The cost is reasonable, and it is nice that our mother can still live in Greenfield. "

"We moved mom to Heywood Wakefield Commons. They're very caring, attentive, and patient. They try to get to know the residents and take care of their specific needs. They have a full calendar of activities ranging from exercise, games, puzzles, and music. They have two movies a week. They have a Scrabble club. They have a lot of activities for different interests. There's something for everyone. The food was pretty good. My mom thinks overall, it's good quality. They have their big meal in the middle of the day and then a lighter meal at night. She likes the meal in the middle of the day, but she's not so fond of sandwiches and chips and stuff like that, but the food itself is good. We've been very pleased. They don't have a nice outdoor space though that's green. They have a little courtyard, but it's limited outdoors and no nature kind of thing. That's just the nature of being in the city, I think. It's very expensive at least this first year until she's eligible for some additional programs."

"My mom was at Wachussett for a year and a half. I recommend this facilty to anyone who wants great care for their loved ones. The staff is amazing from the nurses, activity aides, and cnas. They have a great housekeeping staff . The food and menu are very good as well. I can't say enough how happy we were with her all around care there. It really felt like family there for my mom and ourselves. Thank you to everyone at Wachussett."
