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

"My wife and I have been living at Orchard Cove for 2 years, and coming here was the best decision we could have possibly made. We are fully immersed in the community, making new friends, dining with friends and relatives, learning, laughing, giving back by sharing our knowledge and experiences with the residents on the skilled nursing floor, listening to great music and lectures. Our lives are fuller now, and I hope others will understand the benefits a CCRC contributes to their quality of life, their health, and wellbeing."

"What my mother was looking for was independent living with one meal a day, and apartments that had a kitchen with an actual stove. The other thing that she wanted was a balcony or an outdoor space, and New Pond Village had all of those things. It was a combination of the main things, the location, and the one-meal-a-day plan. They do have step-up care available. You can move to assisted or memory care from there. They've done a lot of recent renovations. The apartment that my mother got is gorgeous. It has a high ceiling and lots of light and windows. The common spaces are very nice. They're attractively laid out. The library is beautiful. The dining room is on the lower floor. It's like a walkout from the lower level basement and that's very pretty. The food was pretty good, there are multiple options, and it's served sit-down style for dinner like you're seated at a table and a staff member comes and takes your order. There's a bunch of things that they always offer at every meal and lots of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. There's nothing wrong with the place. It's nice, it's just a lot of money. The staff is great."

"The Commons in Lincoln is excellent. The whole facility and the staff are wonderful. Mom has no complaints at all about the food. They have a swimming pool, lots of activities, and ways to get transportation to different places. If you needed more care, they have people that would come in. She has two meals per day that she could just have them take care of. They also have an exercise room, an art room, and a great room where they have music, bocce, and all kinds of other activities. They have wonderful grounds. Mom loves going for a walk so she could go for walks for around the grounds. Lincoln has many, many miles of paths and grocery stores nearby. It's just everything she needed. They have lots of concerts. Before COVID, they had children come in whom the residents had interactions with. Then they have exercise classes, as well as religious services, music, art classes, and lectures about all different topics including geography and politics."

"My Mother was a resident of Lasell Village for 13 years. My husband and I spent many hours at the facility during that time and we were always delighted by the facility. The meals were extremely well cooked with a wonderful menu from which to choose. The apartment was lovely, the rooms were spacious and the windows allowed lots of light and nice views. The staff were always courteous and responsive There was always so much to do, Mother particularly loved working on her garden and taking classes at Lasell University. As a published poet, she enjoyed the poetry classes tremendously! The ample storage was a real asset for all of her writings as well as her wardrobe. The swimming pool delighted her as well as the scenic settings for her daily walks. Many family members often visited her there and were impressed as we were by this wonderful alternative living facility. We highly recommend it."

"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."

"What I like best about Brookhaven at Lexington is the apartments and the communal activities. My friend is very happy there and is very happy with the staff. I had dinner there and it was excellent. It's really an outstanding facility. They have everything in terms of activities. The reason why my friend chose Brookhaven at Lexington is because of its location. Also, it's highly recommended."
