The Reserve at East Longmeadow was way too much for my parents because they live in a very small house and I think they would do better in a much smaller type of assisted living place. The Reserve had great outdoor space and a lot to offer, but I think at 88 and 84, my parents are way too frail to get to all the activities. My aunt and I would love to live there, and although it would not be a good fit for my parents, it's a really nice facility. It was a beautiful place and it would be wonderful for someone more active, or a senior who's young at heart. The rooms were extremely small, but the areas outside of it more than make up for it. The place was very clean, well-maintained, and I liked it. Every Friday they have happy hour for family and clients.

The Reserve at East Longmeadow was absolutely gorgeous. The rooms were beautiful, bright, sunny, and clean. The common area was stunning and welcoming. It had exposed wood beams and a fireplace. I loved it. They had everything you could imagine. My mom loves bridge, and they had that and everything that she would be interested in.

95 year old mother in-law with broken humerus was struck by elevator door while being escorted by cna when going to dinner on 3/24/2018. Now has to be transported to Bay State Hospital. Mother in-law pays out of pocket for this care. Has only been there a week and and half.

My mother is in The Reserve, and so far, it's been very good. The service was irregular in the dining area when I was there because some of the staff were on vacation, but for the most part, it's been great. The staff is very friendly and efficient. She has her own studio apartment, they have activities from morning until the evening, and my mom liked the exercise program. The food is excellent and the choices are good.

My husband is in this community. It’s a beautiful, immculately clean place with good staff and excellent food. They have a couple of vans and a shuttle bus and activities all of the time. It seems like there is always something going on. Unfortunately, my husband doesn’t appreciate anything. I couldn’t ask for any better. The only drawback I have about the place is that there is only one phone number.

My visit to this community was very good, I liked the facility, it was like a resort, and overall it was very good. However, they were not able to meet my father’s needs. I was looking for assisted living with memory care. They were talking about trips out once or twice a week as a group, music that they did, stretching exercises, game nights, and karaoke. The rooms I saw were new.

My mom is now at this community. They do have many activities for the people that live there, and they encourage the relatives to go as well. The transition was great. My mother didn’t have any problems with going from her home to her facility. The staff onsite has been wonderful. They have taken good care of her and really treated her as if she was their mom. It is a very clean facility. We’re very happy with the selection that we made. The room is actually pretty good size and everything is in close proximity. The bathroom is right off the bedroom; it is literally five steps to the bathroom. Everything is very compact but it gives my mother enough room. My mother loves the food too. We have been there for breakfasts, lunches and dinners, and they have all been wonderful. The dining room area is set up to accommodate people at tables of four and there are a couple of large tables that accommodate six to eight people. The staff is very caring. I would not hesitate to recommend this community.

My mom is at this community. We chose it because it's brand new, and we wanted her to be in a new facility. So far the facility is wonderful place. The staff is very good, and they give immediate phone calls. They are very attentive, and everybody is with her 24 hours a day. I have also eaten there, and so far it has been all good. For her and for us, so far, it has been a wonderful experience.

The tour at this community was good and informative. The facility is brand new. The impression I got was that they are just starting up as there wasn’t too many people there. There are only very few people in the hallways. They showed me all the places, the different rooms they had, and the different size rooms. They served three meals a day, and the rooms are larger.

This community was very nice and well appointed. I thought the rooms were small. It had a single bed, a decorator did the furniture, but you had a similar look like it only had a certain table and a certain chair. The main dining room was beautiful. They said they tailored the meals to the individual residents and covered three meals a day. They had movie theater, hair salon and computers. The staff was very friendly, nice and accommodating. I thought they need to have a room service or at least had a company there they could refer you to give refreshments.
