My mom has moved into The Gables of Fitchburg. I like it, the staff there are very nice. They do keep her studio clean. They're very receptive to questions and inquiries about anything from my sister and me. I don't have any complaints. They have a huge library and Pittsburgh Library swaps out the books every week. They have a movie room. They have a giant room where people can gather. They have different activities, different people from the outside coming in to do music. They do have crafts, but my mother is not interested in that. However, there's an abundance of things that she has access to. Their staff were nice people. The food is very good. It's much better than the last place she was at. The facility is nice and very clean. The value for the money is very good, compared to what we were paying before, it's significantly less. I have no complaints. The only thing I can think of is if the staff drop by more often and just check in and say hello. I know they're busy, and my mother just likes to chat once in a while with the staff. If they had people in there who could stop by and just chat and sit for a while, that would be nice.

My aunt is a resident at Gables and has been for the past 3 months. I find The Gables to be very clean, staff is extremely fridendly and helpful. The Gables serve 3 very well rounded meals per day and my aunt has indicated several times "the food is good". She also enjoys the all the entertainment and nightly movies. At times when I was visiting and found I need to call maintenance for one reason or another, the staff and maintenance responded immediatly. My aunt is very happy with her unit. Gables indicated that we could hang pictures and basically whatever we needed to do to make my aunt feel at home. I would recommend The Gables in a heart beat.

I visited a friend in The Gables of Fitchburg. It was very nice and clean. They had a lot of activities for the clients. As this person needed more help, they always came up with excuses that they couldn't check on her medications, or offer her pain medications and things, so that part of it was not good. She wasn't bad enough to move to a nursing home, she still could care for herself, but needed a little more help from the nursing staff. The layout was very nice. The activities and such were on the first floor. It was wide open and roomy, and that was very nice. Then the rooms themselves went up to three floors. They can improve on the responsiveness of the staff, and I know that's the problem everywhere you go. This woman, she was in pain, but she never thought to ask for medication; her daughter talked to the nursing staff many times and asked if they could offer it to her. They always said, "Well, this isn't a nursing home. We can't be running after her to make sure she's okay." So that was a little disconcerting. I know they had people come in and give concerts. They had card game type of things, and I think they even had a bus. They would take them out to lunch and things like that.

The Gables of Fitchburg was very nice. The only issue there was that they just had assisted living. We would definitely consider them, but my parents wanted a separate cottage place, more independent living, and they didn't have an independent living component. We have a senior friend that we communicate with every week. We've been in the apartments and they're really nice. The gentleman that lives there that we visited seems to like it very much. We sing for them, and they're very nice. If I was a senior living, I would live there. The staff members were good, very friendly, and accommodating.

My mother-in-law moved to The Gables of Fitchburg, and it was really easy, quick, and worked out really well. It's like a five-star hotel, so it's really nice. The staff is warm and friendly. They include all services and the upfront cost is the cost of everything. The dining area is beautiful and very nice. They have game rooms, activities, trips and outings, laundry facilities, and pretty much everything that's needed. It's very expensive though, but you get what you pay for at top quality.

My 84 year old father is a very proud man who has always valued his independence. The Gables of Fitchburg has allowed my father to keep his independence while giving our family peace of mind because he is never completely alone. He has a nice size, well kept apartment at "The Gables" that includes a living room, kitchen, bedroom, handicapped bathroom, and patio. One of the things my dad has always enjoyed about his own home is his collection of oil paintings. At the Gables, he was allowed to hang his paintings; giving his apartment that personal touch. I can not say enough concerning the staff at "The Gables". From day one, they have made my dad feel like a part of their family. When ever my dad needs assistance, all he has to do is press his life alert button, and a staff member is there with in minutes. The staff also goes out of their way to get to know the interests of each resident and make them feel special. My father is a Yankee's fan and one of the staff members gave him a Yankee's baseball cap. Prior to my dad becoming a resident, our family always worried about my dad being alone and just sitting in front of the television until one of us could visit him. The Gables offers daily activities to keep my dad active; including bingo, musical events, and day trips. The cost of "The Gables" includes three meals a day. I have had the opportunity to have meals with my dad in the dining room and have found that the meals to be very tasty with nice sized portions. In short, I highly recommend "The Gables" for anyone that is looking for a quality assisted living residence for their loved one. I am confident that my dad is in a safe place and is receiving excellent care.

The Gables has to be one of the best kept secrets in the area! My mom has been there for two years and has received nothing but the best care and services around. Apartment style living makes the residents feel like a big family. The food is great and the staff, ALL of them, are supportive and know everyone's name. Everyone pitches in here with greatest care to make the residents feel comfortable. The CNA's are unbelievably caring , the daily activities help keep the residents minds active, a special once a month dinner brings families together for an evening of fun and food, plus shopping trips to area stores restaurants or appointments add to the experience. Most important is THE GABLES IS LOCALLY OWNED! No corporate attitude here and the small size of around 50 residents is perfect, CHECK THIS PLACE OUT! It is also the most reasonably priced.

The Gables of Fitchburg is impeccably kept, staff went out of their way to be helpful, rooms are spacious, and my mother reports that the food service is good too. I have nothing but positive things to say about it. They have a lot of activities and amenities. They have a daily activities calendar. They have shopping trips, games to keep their mind alert, coffee socials every afternoon, ecumenical religious services on a regular basis, they do nails for them, musical groups come in from time to time, and once a month they have a special dinner and they invite families to participate. The staff is excellent and very attentive, and if I had to take her somewhere, they make sure that she's all ready to go, and her hair is in good shape. They've been very good, they distribute medications, and they're very methodical about it.

My mom is living in the Gables. It’s close to our house and has beautiful, well-maintained grounds. The staff is very nice and all know each other. It has a lower price, a better quality of food, and the building was nicer. They have an all-inclusive pricing package. She has her own little unit with porch and kitchenette, but the nurses come in to check on her. They have a beauty salon, laundry facilities, an exercise room, and PT on the facility.
