The Best Continuing Care Retirement Communities Communities in Middlesex County, MA

"I went to The Commons in Lincoln. It's very good. They are very organized to get many people in one tour. We went to visit the rooms and their facilities. I feel they're really organized to let us know everything we need to know. They are very clean, and I think they take care of the residents very well. When we visited the room, someone already lived there, and they allowed us to get in. The staff is very professional and very good at presenting. They gave us a surprise present to bring home. They have wellness there, and we also went to meet the instructor that is taking care of the wellness part. They are very flexible with the room. They say if you move in, you can renovate the way you want it. Every room has a different layout. After the people leave, they renovate it. It's not like other senior living that just have two or three styles of layout. I think The Commons in Lincoln is the best one I saw."

"The man who walked us around Orchard Cove was delightful. The staff was very interactive. We got to speak to several of them. The facility is lovely. We saw a couple of different living spaces. We saw the gym, the pool, and everything. The gym was great. We saw an extended one-bedroom, but it would be too small for the two of us. There were several dining areas. We parked outside, but there's underground parking for residents."

"My visit at Brookhaven was very good. The staff was good, and a friend of mine used to live there. Their food was very good, the room was very nice, and they have a lot of events and things going on there. The whole thing was fine; I have no trouble with Brookhaven, only the money. "

"Carleton Willard rooms and grounds were excellent. It’s very attractive and comfortable. My husband and I found it very warm. The woman we talked to was very friendly and accommodating. I have been in this place often and found that a lot of people who went to my church were living there. When we asked her what her waiting list looked like, she said the wait would be between one and three years. It’s in a nice town surrounded by places to walk, which is quite nice. There are little paths. I particularly liked that you could get out and walk around enough to actually lose sight of the building. "

"My Husband and I have been residents at Lasell Village for three years and constantly tell anyone how happy we are to have made the decision to make the Village our home. The residents value the intellectual environment that exists through discussions and classes that we take. The Village is a very friendly and casual place to live."

"We visited Fox Hill Village. We liked the people we met there, we liked the apartment that was available and we liked the food. The staff is very professional and friendly. It's a two-bedroom apartment, living room and kitchen. We just had lunch there about six weeks ago. I can't remember exactly what I ate, but it tasted good. And we think that's very important because we're going to be eating a lot of meals there. The dining area was very nice, with linen tablecloths, nice and bright with big windows and it was quiet. The acoustics were good. They have a gym and a barbershop."
