Independent Living Communities in Weymouth, MA

"I toured Orchard Cove. The amenities are overwhelming. They have a magnificent pool that has an everyday lifeguard. They have all kinds of classes that take place in the pool, from water aerobics to water volleyball. They have a full-sized gym with two trainers full-time, which is incredible. They have four dining rooms. They have a beautiful library, and it's decorated beautifully. The lobby is magnificent. Just everything that I saw was very, very appealing. The apartments look terrific. Most of them have screened-in porches. It is not inexpensive, and that will be the only question that I would have. I still have to work out the numbers, because it is quite up there in terms of expense. I toured their independent living, and then they also have enhanced living -- which is the same as assisted living -- and skilled nursing care if needed. They have different contracts and different amounts of money for all of those things. The apartments have full kitchens, stainless steel appliances, dishwasher, a washer-dryer, and a step/walk-in shower. It was really quite impressive. The person who took me around was quite excellent. Very informed and very helpful. Everybody in the place that I was introduced to was delightful. It was just a delightful place. It made a very strong impression. The staff was very knowledgeable. They also have underground parking. They're affiliated with Harvard Medical School, and they have a full-time doctor onsite five days a week, and there are two nurse practitioners who are there all the time. In the assisted living area they have other nurses available in case of an emergency or something like that."

"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."

"We chose them for my aunt. It's very warm, cozy, and beautiful; beautiful in architecture, and everything about it. It's a nice, warm place when you first step in. The staff is very attentive to the clients. The food is fantastic, and the residents are very happy. Lots of activities. They have bingo, trips, arts and crafts, they have a welcoming party when you first come in which is a phenomenal thing. A welcome dinner which made her really at home with a deejay, food, and family invited. It was a nice experience when you first came in."

"Allerton House at Proprietors Green looked beautiful, was very open, and very well decorated. It has plenty of activities and it's in a great location because there's a supermarket or a restaurant within 300 yards of the facility. The staff was very welcoming and very knowledgeable. There were many staff members interacting with each other and with my brother and I. They answered all of our questions. It's very well laid out, and there are a lot of room options."

"We looked at Wingate Residences at Silver Lake. It was pleasant. The staff was very nice, very helpful, and very kind. The facility was very nice, clean, and bright. The apartment we saw was nice, it was decent-sized. It was close to our house. It was reasonably priced compared to another facility we looked at."

"Another place we went to was The Residences at Wingate. It is a new place. It was very good. They have all the amenities. We didn't eat there, but it looked like a very nice place. It was a little bit pricey though. The apartments were of good size, and they're all new. They were all in different shapes. All the apartments we saw were good. The dining area was a big area. I guess you would call it formal dining with tablecloths. They have a pub too. It was a very nice-looking place. "

"I joined the Maplewood at Weston community nine months ago because it offered a level of care and caring that far surpassed the other assisted living facilities I was considering. It was one of my better decision. Executive Director Bernardo has assembled a staff that is professional, responsive and knowledgeable. My apartment is well-appointed and immaculate, thanks to Housekeeping and Maintenance personnel, and it has a beautiful, off-the-balcony view of the Charles River. The Wellness staff, especially the Aides, go above and beyond by providing physical and emotional support that is rare in today's medically challenged world. There are many diverse activities offered throughout the week, and the one comment that is echoed by visitor after visitor is that Maplewood resembles a lavish, swanky hotel. Bernardo's weekly "check-in" visits make me feel as though I am a valued member of the community, and I look forward to watching how Maplewood responds to the healthcare demands of the future."

"My parents moved into The Current Beverly. Their room is small but cozy. It's well-kept. I've eaten there a couple of times, and the food was very good. They have a very good staff. They have bingo, outings, and trivia nights. They have a gym and gardening."

"Windsor Place of Wilmington is a clean and friendly place. My aunt's room is ideal for her because it's spacious. The food is good, and the dining room is very appealing and done very nicely. She can get her hair and nails done once a week. They have a gym, daily activities, and a bus for field trips. The staff has been very good."

"I visited Chapel Hill Senior Living. They were very nice. We very much enjoyed them. What I liked about it is it's a one-floor memory care unit. The staff definitely knew the residents. They called them by name, and then they had conversations as we were walking around. It was very clean. I also liked the fact that they had an area in the back with a garden, and it was not locked, so residents can go out if they want and come back in, and it's all gated. For my dad, who's a little bit more cognitive, to be able to actually go out into that area is very nice, because if it's locked, I think it makes him feel like he's in jail a little bit. The staff was wonderful. Cristina, who gave us the tour, was awesome, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. I was super impressed. They had a patio and a courtyard."

"Colonial Village is immaculate. The hallways are immaculate, and the grounds are clean. You're allowed a small dog or cat. They had Christmas and Thanksgiving activities, and they held monthly meetings."

"I have visited a few facilities & this one is nicer than most. There are over 1,000 apartments spread over a large wooded & landscaped campus with two clubhouses & lots of amenities. It's 6 miles from charming Hingham Center & waterfront which is a plus for me. It is not a classic CCRC - the entry fee & monthly 'rent' is for independent living only and assisted living/memory care is fee-for-service at market rate. That brings those fees down but increases risk for those without long term care insurance or the funds to cover nursing home care out of pocket. Some things which are rolled into the monthly fee at other places, like housekeeping, are extra here. But the costs are reasonable & I like that I'm not paying for services I don't use. It's high on my list."

"I like the financial arrangements at Fairing Way. The apartments were very nice and there were lots of activities. They have a restaurant and you can eat there if you want. They have book clubs, walking clubs, dine-out clubs, all kinds of games, and movies. The one I'm looking for would be a one-bedroom with a den and one-and-a-half baths. The person who gave me the tour was great. Everything was great. The meal I had was good."
