Arbors at Stoughton

I am a relative of a resident. What they tell you on the tour doesn't come true when you move in. If you are an elder, or have an elder family member thinking of moving here - check out the bathrooms. They fit very few needs as far as safety and the owner's/staff do nothing but tell you to try to buy fixtures to make it work. They themselves will not spend a dime to upgrade and make safety #1. The menus aren't necessarily heart healthy although they advertise such. Ask for the last several weeks of menus to see for yourself, not just the online one, especially for those with low fat/cholesterol; low sugar diets etc. There webpage says no community fee = not true. Personal care - 1 hour/day = not true. We hold the deposit and don't cash it until you've been approved, not true, they cash it within a few days, before they even start the process of medical reports and assessments. Many of the aids have limited English which makes it difficult for any resident, especially those with hearing issues to discuss needs etc. There seems to be a lack of communication between the aids/nurses/directors as to resident needs. Pros: The activities are varied, frequent and enjoyed by many residents. The place is kept clean. The interior is very user friendly and designed well for residents to get around easily.

My dad ended up at The Arbors, and we're very happy with it. Compared with others, it had a more vibrant feel to it. The place was lively, bright, clean, very attractive, and had a good energy.

We chose The Arbors. It is a perfect fit. The people are extremely nice and very good with my mother-in-law. Her room is beautiful and has everything we need. They have day trips, bingo, crafts -- all kinds of stuff every day. The food is very good; the staff is great. No problems whatsoever.

My Mother in Law is now a resident of Arbors at Stoughton. My wife and I thought that it would be a difficult transition for her from living totally independent in a home. The staff at Arbors made it so easy for us. Their caring approach was a comfort to my mother in law. She has been at the Arbors for over a year now and could not be happier. As far as the facility itself, the grounds, common areas and apartment units are always neat and clean. Two thumbs up for Arbors!
