I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

My mother is a resident of Zelma Lacey House of Charlestown. A lot of the things that they usually have going on they can't do because of the COVID and that changes from day to day. My mother is happy there and I'm satisfied that she's getting the assistance that she needs. So I'm happy with this community, it's a good choice. The staff would communicate things like what day of the week my mother is going to get a shower, most of it has to do with the COVID thing.

I really love Zelma Lacey House of Charlestown. It's very homey and very quaint. If we get my mother in a place, I would like her there. It's a very nice company. I was impressed because most of the employees were there long-term. They don't come and go really quickly. The monthly rent included a certain amount of personal care, the dining room options, the help and the assistance. It's an older community because it wasn't 55 and older. They had transportation and medical services. The person who showed me around was wonderful, very personable, and very friendly. The dining room was like a restaurant where you can order what you wanted, but it's homey and very comfortable. The place was extremely clean.

We liked Zelma Lacey House of Charlestown very much. We were very impressed and we loved it. The place is extremely clean and we just went cold turkey. We didn't make an appointment. We just walked in and it was spotless. The tenants and workers were wonderful. We thought it was the perfect place for my mom. I just loved it. They have an exercise room, game room, and a little theater area with a couple of computers so they have plenty for the tenants to do. I wasn't expecting it to be as nice as it was. The director was very nice and informative.

Zelma Lacey is located on a quiet street in Charlestown. As you walk in you are akways warmly greeted.The house is clean,well lit and appointed with lovely furniture and attractive decor. The staff is friendly,informative and knows their residents.Many activities,great community rooms and a gorgeous outside patio and garden. A true hidden oasis in the city.Another plus, is that the overall size of the house is not overwhelming and easy to navigate. I feel that the cost of the apartment is a good value,compared to other units we viewed elsewhere.The unit was all freshly cleaned and painted as we moved in,and the appliances were also new.A beautiful home. An added benefit to the location is its proximity to Boston and all the major hospitals.We hope our loved one will want to make this his permanent residence.

I liked Zelma Lacey House because of the location. It's very convenient to stores, and its right behind a shopping center. It has a lovely little garden, the common areas looked beautiful, the food looked good, and the staff was very helpful.

I am a friend or relative of a resident

The staff are very friendly and helpful and the facility was so clean. I like that it is quiet yet bustling with activity. The rooms were a descent size so that everything isn't too far for the residents to have to get to. The place is spacious and beautifully decorated. My only problem is the limit on the amount of visitors that can come at once. I feel that they should be able to invite whoever they'd like to they're home.
