"Manor on the Hill was a wonderful place. It's very clean and the people were wonderful. The young lady's name was Kim, who gave me the tour, and she's wonderful. I was very happy and very impressed with the place."

"Sophia Snow Place is all inclusive, so Mom has assistance with anything she needs. She has meal choices, 3 times a day plus the pastry cart in the morning, help with showering and meds, does yoga and has wonderful caregivers, she loves them all. They are consistent and helpful and pleasant and she feels very secure. The facility itself is immaculately clean, her room is very large and comfortable. The people are organized and helpful, there is someone at the door who knows when people go in and out. They were referred to us by the nurses that do care there, and it was a great decision. There is nothing that she misses from home!"

"We were directed to Windsor Place by a Care Patrol employee. From my first phone call to Sandra and virtual tour, I got a good feeling about this facility. They were very a ccomodating about a month of respite care while we looked for a permanent home for our relative in NYC. The memory care unit staff were excellent, attentive to each individual's needs, planning varied activities each day and ensuring each resident's safety. The nurses were in regular contact with us. Sandra was always available by phone or e-mail. The owners were on the premises and always willing to speak with you. The front desk staff greeted you warmly every time that you entered. From day one, our family's experience was terrific. I would highly recommend Windsor Place to potential residents."

"My 2-bedroom apartment is lovely with a scenic view facing east at a wooded area. Other apartments face a reservoir-lake with ducks, egrets, turtles, geese. A gentle waling path with benches at intervals surrounds the building. The staff are wonderful and supportive. The 300 plus residents are friendly but not intrusive, interesting bright and stimulating people. The many activities and programs available on a daily and evening basis provide more than sufficient to keep everyone happy. I came here alone after my partner unexpectedly died the month we were to move, and I was so warmly welcomed and made to feel at home that the grief of my loss was mitigated. This is a wonderful place to be."

"Apartments are oversized. Decorated nicely. Food is delicious."

"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."

"Toured this facility for our mom. Beautiful place with lots of activities. Rooms were spacious. Staff was amazing! They didn’t have an on staff doctor and that was our deciding factor for chasing another living facility. Would definitely recommend you check them out, if you are looking to place a family member."

"My dad was a resident of New Horizons at Marlborough. It was great. He enjoyed it. They were wonderful to him. They had a lot of activities and care. They have great options for things to do if you want to, or if you keep to yourself, that's fine too. They checked in on him a lot. He had a great experience there. I recommend it to anybody who is looking. He was in a one-bedroom, so he had a little bedroom area, a little kitchenette, a full bath, and a decent-sized family room, I'm guessing by 400 to 500 square feet in that range. They did a very nice job keeping it up. It was very well cared for. They had a chapel, gym, pool, and all kinds of activities for them. They have a nice dining area, and the grounds outside are very nice."

"I liked the Willows Retirement Community. It's a wonderful place. I thought it was great, and the staff was very helpful, very friendly, and very nice. There's a pool, a place for exercise, and dining rooms. I saw them playing cards. The rooms were very nice, lovely, well-appointed, very clean, and had the latest appliances."

"My mother-in-law is in Shillman House. The people are caring, and the facility is nice and clean. They have activities. She loves the food. Everything is pretty good so far. My wife said the food is very good. It's very new and kept up very well. They're just starting to open up due to Covid, but they have activities every day. It's good value for the money. We checked other places that were charging more, and this is absolutely very good for the price."

"Camellia Gardens Maynard has all of the details and specifics that we're looking for, so it made it very, very easy with the pricing and the different kinds of protocols. Mostly, the best impression that we had was the capacity of the individuals, or the teams that were looking at supporting us, really came through. So that was the main thing. In terms of the physical look of the complex, it is one of the better ones that I have seen, and I have toured many locations in Virginia, Florida, New York, and Montana, and also now in Massachusetts. The grounds are absolutely impeccable compared to pretty much every other location I have been in. Not only that, they have the grounds. However, now it is a new community. And as of yesterday, I believe they had three locations left in it, as they were doing the initial filling up of the location, so when my brother signed up he got the last one-bedroom in the location, and there were some two-bedrooms and studios left, but I believe they were also taken up. I think they may be maxed out at this point. So obviously there will now be a waiting list as people leave, and so on for the next group of people that want to come in. The staff who assisted me during my visit was amazing. The food is good, and part of the process when we looked up this one was the menu. Some places I have seen in the past start out with a menu, and then they go to a fixed meal. This is a full menu and they have three meals. And again, typical of most retirement communities, they have the heavier or main dinner at lunch, and then usually a lighter meal in the evening, so that's pretty much typical of them. They have a fair amount of activities going on. In terms of amenities, everything at least matches or exceeds any of the other communities that I have been involved with, which are quite a few. So I took a look at things ahead of time and tried to do as much evaluation as I could. So the amenities either match or exceed beyond what I have found in other locations. The staff who assisted us was excellent and very personal. They got to know us and my brother immediately, and remembered their names too. They were quite busy, but they were very good. The gardens were excellent. There's enough rest areas like little libraries, little game rooms, and they're very well-appointed."

"Summerhill was very nice and clean. They showed me a room where activities take place, but they didn’t name any specific activities. The people I dealt with were very nice too. "

"My sister resides in The Coolidge at Sudbury. She has made a lot of friends. They do bingo and they have computer areas and little libraries, but nothing more than that. No meals. There is a shopping area and pharmacies. It's nice. It's country yet it's good if you're out there. My sister is on the second floor. Her apartment has wood floors and blinds, but you can put your own curtains. It has a nice kitchenette, a good-sized bedroom, and a bathroom, of course. The only thing she doesn't have is a washer and dryer in her apartment. It's very clean. They're very big on hygiene. They have a great security system, and it has great people in it. The staff has a little office downstairs, and there are two girls who work down there. They help them when they have to pay their rent, and they help them with activities. But if my sister wanted her curtains hung up, the lady said, 'No, this is independent living. I'm sorry.' So they don't have anybody to do maintenance and so forth. You're on your own. But they're nice people there."
