When I visited my cousin I was really impressed with the place and all the activities going on. All the people living there seemed happy and interested in the game they were playing. We had a great visit with my cousin, I haven’t seen her this content in a long time.

The Linden at Dedham was being remodeled, so everything was updated. The person who took me around had lots of knowledge and was very involved. The staff was very friendly. There were a lot of people gathering in the great room, just for conversation, and enjoying themselves. The food looked very good, and they had a lot more variety than some of the other areas.

Brookdale Dedham was fine, except that we had a person who wasn't very mobile, and their whole thing was you had to come down to breakfast, lunch, and dinner. On top of that, you were also expected to do some activities, and that wasn't going to work. It's fine if the senior is mobile and can get around for the most part, but not for somebody who is struggling. They have an arts center, music in a big hall, a central TV viewing room where they have movies, and a big dining room with fairly good-sized tables. The rooms were small and sort of like a studio, with a little built-in refrigerator, microwave, one large area, and a bathroom. You are not going to fit too much furniture in there since it's tiny. Neither my wife nor I were impressed.

We were very happy with Brookdale Dedham. They answered any questions we had and were quite willing to sit down and spend time with us. The staff we encountered were fine and very helpful. The rooms were fine for what they were, especially if you're coming from your own home. The dining room was very nice. They had tablecloths, and the menu was very good.

I visited Emeritus (Brookdale Dedham). The facility was small. The rooms were small. They didn't have any two-bedroom units. It looked nice though. We didn't eat anything there, but the dining room looked fine. They said they have everything -- e.g., they would take you on trips -- and they have a nurse available.

As any of these businesses, they were very nice to me at the Emeritus at Wilson Mountain. I had lunch at a separate table in the dining room, that was pleasant, and they showed me several of the rooms. I noticed that they were ripping up the walls and everything, and they said that they were doing a large renovation throughout the whole place. So it looked very bare; there was nothing on the walls -- horrible. Then, they took me into one of the empty living spaces, and the first one was extremely small. It was a studio, and there was a bathroom, a little microwave, a lock-safe, and everything else. What I have to say about those particular things that they were raving about was -- there I was in a wheelchair, not being able to stand, and the microwave was way up high. How could I reach that? The little safe that they had was way down on the floor. I couldn't reach that sitting in a wheelchair. And then, I looked at the bathroom and I said, "Look, I cannot go to the toilet in an ordinary way. I have to roll my wheelchair into the bathroom and have support on both sides of the toilet not just on one side." So I couldn't go to the toilet there. They cannot advertise themselves as handicapped accessible; they are not. They are accessible for some handicapped, but not for me who is in a wheelchair and cannot stand or walk. Then, they showed me another place, which they had combined a studio apartment with a one-bedroom apartment. It looked fine, empty, and there was good light, but as soon as you would start putting in a little furniture, it would be too crowded for me. They were very nice, and when I left, which really surprised me, they ran after me and gave me a homemade apple pie to take home.
Provider Response
We are very sorry to hear Emeritus at Wilson Mountain did not meet your expectations. We are undergoing a renovation and are excited about improvements that are being made throughout the community. We would love for you to keep us in mind and come back to see our progress!

So the facility is very nice. Very misleading though about long term care and transition into memory care. Promised a "pace" bed and it never happened. Staff and administration turn over is very high. during the three years, the administration has turned over 4X. Doors do not lock due to an alleged building code and they do not reveal this. I would recommend this facility for a very independent person, not someone who has Dementia or Alzheimer's, they are not equipped to handle it.

I visited Emeritus at Wilson Mountain. On my first visit, I was able to meet the case manager. They gave me literature information, and I was mostly interested in the short-term respite program like a month-to-month respite. Outside it was very neat and clean. The dining room I saw and the lobby were very well maintained. The staff was multi-cultural. They had a structured schedule for the seniors and clients. They had meals. They had medication management. They had a small pharmacy on site. They also had transportation. It was a very upscale and very impressive site.

I liked the Emeritus at Wilson Mountain very much, but what I did not like is they continually contacted me afterwards to the point of harassment almost. Everything was very nice, and I loved it. It was clean, caring, and well-equipped. There were a lot of activities, and they had very nice spaces, like the eating room and the kitchen. Of all the places we looked at, we liked this one the best.

The staff is wonderful at Emeritus Wilson Mountain. My friend is safe. It meets everything that she need. She's well cared for and fed with wonderful food. It was a perfect place for her. The rooms are lovely. The first place she had had a living room and bedroom. It was beautiful. Now, she's in memory care, which is equally as nice but a little smaller.
They have everything and anything that they're interested in. If they like to cook, if they want to get on the computer, they encourage them to do what they like. They're also welcoming and it's a lovely facility. It's clean, bright, it's happy. It's everything you'd want.

Emeritus at Wilson Mountain was as nice as any other facilities. Their staff was fine; they answered any questions I had. The rooms seemed adequate. Overall, the facility seemed adequate and there wasn't anything extraordinary about their price. However, it was too far away from my sister's house and that was the only problem we had with it.

I did like Emeritus At Wilson Mountain. I thought it was a very nice facility. It was expensive though. It costs a lot of money to go there, so we didn't really choose that, but it would have been closer for me. I really considered going there. It was a beautiful building and it was more than I expected. It was also very modern and very nice inside. The rooms were beautiful. They were very well appointed but you have to bring your own furniture in. The dining room was nice. For activities, they did have exercise equipment which was very nice I think. The folks were very pleasant and friendly. When I visited, the staff was very nice, very good, very professional and very caring and informative. I thought they did a nice job.

I went to see Emeritus at Wilson Mountain. Everything was very good. The place is nice and clean. The staff were very nice and friendly. The only thing I did not like is that I noticed a lady with a bully character.

This facility offers assisted living and no additional kinds of care, although there is a separate locked memory care unit. The outside is pleasant in woodsy area, and ample parking is available for visitors. The facility is well maintained, both inside and out.
The food is decent, although gets no rave reviews from the residents there.
There are still some unknowns about the place, which was formerly known as Brighton Gardens, but changed hands about a year or so. Traditionally, there is an adjustment period that may include some kinks; those considering living here should press the new management for any details of housing and care that may concern them.
There has already been one improvement: When this facility was Brighton Gardens, the staff members were not very communicative with outside care providers and family members"”and that has gotten better. For example, they now seem to feel it's beneficial for them to know what they're getting when patients are released to them from the hospital, so make much more of an effort to get details on care and conditions.
But some complain that there is a tendency to keep the residents too long in assisted living, when they really require more care than can be provided there. Once more care is required, people may simply be better off in another facility that offers more intensive care. So Emeritus at Wilson Mountain may be the best fit for residents who are fairly independent and in good health.
The price point is lower than for some other comparable facilities in the area.
Memory Care Reviews for The Linden at Dedham

Our mother, who will be 95 next month, had been in the assisted living section of the Linden and was fairly independent. She had a fall, and then later a stroke, and the aftermath of those events involved hospitals and rehab facilities. In the middle of that, she was transferred from Linden's Assisted Living to Memory Care, but was only there briefly before being hospitalized. During all this tumultuous, stressful time, the staff from Linden were absolutely wonderful to us. They checked on how our mom was doing, visited her at the hospital and rehab facilities, and helped us plan for her transition back to Linden. Elaine and Pat were particularly great to our mom and to us!! Their attitude was clearly one of helping our mother "get home" to Linden. The people there know and love our mother, and have been so supportive in planning to get her back. Because of their ongoing support and guidance, our mother's transition back to Memory Care at Linden has been extremely successful, and Mom is recuperating better than expected! Also, her time in rehab made us realize that not all facilities have the fantastic activities for residents that Linden has (Yay, Heather!!). Having the elderly sit around endlessly watching television, which is what many at the rehab facility were doing, is NOT helpful during times of being cognitively challenged and emotionally disrupted! The wonderful attention and fun activities....and great company!.....at Linden has really helped our mother (and my sisters and I too!) during a very challenging time. She feels that she is "home" again. The Linden staff are fantastic and are greatly appreciated!!! Many, many thanks for helping Mom (and her daughters!) through a tough time.
