The Residence At Orchard Grove

I've been to The Residence at Orchard Grove. It's a one-room residence with a bedroom, a bathroom, no bathtub, no storage facility. You just had the room you live in and a closet basically. Those are my main issues. I needed a garage for my vehicle and I wanted some kind of storage area to put my belongings. The staff was very friendly and social, which you got to expect. They're putting their best foot forward to sell the property. It's a fairly new residence area built within the past couple of years, and it's still in good condition. They have in-room cooking if you want it on a hot plate basically. It wasn't a kitchen, but they had meals available for your convenience. There's no set time. You could dine throughout the day. The main thing was I want a bathtub. I like to take Epson bath soaks and you can't do it in a shower, but everybody's afraid of somebody falling down. They had a complimentary meal and it was good. The dining area was open space; it's like cafeteria style. You pick up your stuff and you go to a table and join other people to talk with or sit alone. Parking was all outside in the elements.

We have chosen The Residence At Orchard Grove for my parents due to its size and the menu offerings. I have not tried the food, but I looked at it. The presentation was very nice. They have different levels of care. Most things were included in the base price. They have a fitness area, a salon, a theater, and an activity room. The place is very clean. It is right on the borderline of Northborough, so there is a big shopping center down the street on Route 20. There are shopping centers and whatnot. The university is right up the street.

The Residence At Orchard Grove was brand new. It's very costly, but it's definitely worth the money if you have it. The people were extremely nice (the CNAs, and the activities director). They got excellent food, nice rooms, and nice grounds where they had barbecues in the summer. The memory care unit, where my mother was, was smaller. She's in a two-person room, but it was very spacious. The bed was very comfortable. They have a lot of arts and crafts, they play bingo, and they go outside sometimes for lunch or go visit the museum and stuff.

We went to The Residence at Orchard Grove. My friend liked everything. She liked the facilities, she liked the people, and she liked the rooms. We went to a studio that was available at the time, and she liked it. The staff who toured us was very cordial and very happy with everybody. Melissa was very informative. The staff were great. We did not have the time to try their food, but we were invited to come back and have lunch with Melissa. They sent my friend home with a slice of lemon bread, so she had a little something for her coffee. We were able to see exercises, and in another area, they were doing puzzles. They showed her the art room. It was wonderful. It's only four years old and I could see everything is new. It looks like they always keep upgrading. It looks very nice.

The Residence at Orchard Grove is a beautiful facility. The food is available 24/7 if you want to eat and it's been very easy and a very wonderful experience for my father. There's a refrigerator, a stove, and a microwave in his apartment. The staff has been marvelous so far. They've been very helpful and the residents have been nice, too. There's stuff going on in the morning and afternoons. They take day trips, they're doing a lobster bake this summer, they have different cookouts, and a happy hour every day. They had a singer yesterday doing 40's music. So, everything is covered and taken care of.
