Tatnuck Park at Worcester

John

Tatnuck Park at Worcester is a beautiful place. It's very elegant, it's well appointed, the people there are just wonderful, and I so highly recommend it. It is on the higher end of what we're looking at in terms of cost. They had good meeting rooms, and they had very nice eating facilities. They had an additional kitchen for the residents to bake or cook if they wanted. They had a movie theater, walking areas, balcony areas, and life/community areas. It was actually quite nice. We saw a one-bedroom.

My parents are planning to move in to Tatnuck Park at Worcester. It's top of the line; it's amazing. The place is beautiful. It's assisted living and memory care, they have 2 levels in one location. It was a really first-class location, and really nice.

Tatnuck Park at Worcester was homey. They're able to care for someone in my father's condition because he was essentially a three person assist at the time. It's one of the few places around that had a hoyer lift, and it could accommodate him as an assisted living -- and not like a skilled nursing -- facility. I liked the whole environment. The staff member showed us around the facility, sat down with us, and answered our questions. They just couldn't take him because he was very sick at the time. It's a beautiful facility, and there were no smells.

We selected Tatnuck Park at Worcester for my brother because it's excellent. It's bright and cheery. They have an excellent dining room and good service. The staff is very good and the activities are very good. They have van services, they go to outside activities, they go on trips to church and stores, they have activities within the facility, group sessions, group games, and sing-alongs.

Tatnuck Park at Worcester has more activity going on, and the person who showed us around was super helpful. I got very good vibes out of the place, and it's the one I'd go to at this point, though it's on the expensive side. When I visited, there was a group sitting in a kitchen identifying music, names of songs, and artists from the '50s and '60s. The dining area was lovely, and the home belonged to a very prominent person in Worcester, then converted into assisted living. The main part of it was this old beautiful building. Stacy, the person who assisted me, was top notch and super.

Tatnuck Park is a lovely place, and the staff was friendly. I had a very nice time speaking with the director, she was very friendly, and she gave me lots of good information. I saw a calendar of activities. The dining room was very lovely, they were very nice and sent me home with a home-made pie. That was very nice.

Tatnuck Park at Worcester was very nice. The rooms were all a very good size. Even the studio apartment was a very good size. There were lots of lights and nice windows. We visited this place for my father-in-law. The staff was extremely personable. He answered all our questions. He was very nice. They gave us cookies, and they were really good. The dining area was nice, but we didn’t eat a meal there.

The only thing I didn’t like about Tatnuck Park was the rooms were very small, and the only room at the time was a shared room. It was retrofitted for what they were doing there. It wasn’t built specifically for purpose of assisted-living, but I think the care would be excellent. The facility just wasn’t what I was looking for. The dining setup seems adequate. Everything that I saw that was working there seemed very engaged. It was also a very nice, and clean facility.

Tatnuck Park at Worcester is very expensive. The rent for a studio apartment is $149 a day, and then there’s a $5,000 community fee. It’s kind of steep. They have about 60 patients. I tried the food, and it was good. The rooms are nice, well furnished, and they have nurses around the clock for emergency care. They invited me for Thanksgiving dinner, and it was very nice. I like this facility, but it is too expensive for me.

Tatnuck Park was very nice and very attractive, and the people were very professional. It was well decorated and comfortable, and the people who lived there seemed very happy.

The staff of Tatnuck Park at Worcester was very helpful. I think they did have some activities, but I wasn't there long enough to get involved with that. There was a group in there doing some type of sit-down exercises and that is one of the things that they do at where my husband goes at the Cape. The facility itself was very nice, very lovely. It was outstanding.

As a daughter of a mother who lives in the memory impaired unit, I am truly in awe of how well my mother and the other residents are treated. The staff have been enormously helpful from the day we researched Tatnuck Harbor Unit to this time of a year later of residency. Attention to detail is taken with anything important regarding resident care, food preparation and service, activities, and room preparation. Recently, my mother needed to be in rehab after hospitalization. The staff were so accommodating and helped us be sure to get the right assistance so my mother could return to Tatnuck as soon as possible. After having visited numerous other residential care places, this was and remains our first choice. My mother is happy here....and that is saying a lot!

Tatnuck Park looked really nice and there was a garden in front. The rooms looked nice and big; the beds looked comfortable. They had good food and coffee. The man who talked to us seemed pretty nice and seemed to care for the well-being of the residents. The price though was a little steep and it did not feel very homey. It had a very formal mood in the atmosphere.

My mom is currently at Tatnuck Park. She's been there for two and a half years now. The facility itself is very nice, but they don't seem to keep help and a lot of the help that they do have are not trained on how to deal with people that have some memory problems. I'm not at all happy with the staff. Well, the higher ups are fine, but the day to day people, the nurse's aides; they are not very good. For the nurses' aides, I'd give them a two. They have a couple of really good nurses' aides, but by and large, their nurses' aide population is very lazy and not really there to help. It seems like an imposition when you need help. You get a lot of attitude and they said there's a big turn-over. They're always short of staff every weekend, and if you do need that extra bit of assistance, it's generally not available. The place is well maintained, clean and immaculate, and they keep it well. The outside and the rooms are well maintained. They've got a good staff for maintenance and that kind of thing. They have a nice hairdressing salon, there are some amenities like I said, but unless you totally can take care of yourself, otherwise when you start needing more help, it's difficult to get it. Yes, I would recommend it especially for people that don't need a lot of assistance. You either have to be in the memory care, the Alzheimer's unit to get more assistance, but when you're in the general population, they do maintain the apartment once a week and they help with laundry, but there are just not enough people to take care of the residents.

Tatnuck Park is an awesome facility. And for the sake the money you pay, it should be. The staff is the best.

My mom has been there for just a week. Right now, we're extremely happy with them. As far as I can tell, she's very well taken care of and she seems to be very happy. The staff is very wonderful. They're great.
