The Best Memory Care Communities in Barnstable County, MA

"I toured Keystone Place at Buzzards Bay. I liked the location. There is nothing I like the least about it. I liked it very much. The staff were very friendly. They had everything that I cared about. They had a hair salon, they had a bus for transportation, and they had just a theater and a pub. They had just about everything. It was perfect. It was very clean. Extremely clean."

"From the moment we walked into Atria Woodbriar Park, we felt a sense of peace and comfort. Joanne greeted us with genuine warmth, and her attentiveness (as well as all the other Atria staff) has remained consistent. The environment is clean, beautifully maintained, and full of life — with residents engaging in activities, sharing meals, and enjoying the lovely outdoor spaces. What truly sets Atria Woodbriar Park apart is the way they balance independence with compassionate care. My father-in-law has found a renewed sense of purpose here, making friends and participating in events that brings joy to his days. We couldn’t be more grateful for the peace of mind this community has given our family. It’s not just a facility — it’s a home."

"My mother has moved into All American Assisted Living at Wareham. I like that the rooms are two-bedroom units, so they always have a roommate. They have a secure outside courtyard, and they provide a lot of activities for the residents. The staff is very caring. They make time for everyone. They don't seem stressed. Even though they may be, they have very good attitudes. She's in memory care. The food is very good."

"Sunrise of Plymouth Beach has been very accommodating and proactive. My mother-in-law is in memory care and settling in well. The surroundings are beautiful. It's right near the beach with a great view. People have been very thoughtful and responsive to the family and her. Her room is clean, homey, and convenient to the social activities area. She doesn't have to travel far to get to dining or activities. The dining area is also clean and friendly. She is very social and has made a few friends. She's a big beach person and so she's been able to visit the beach with her family who has been visiting. They are undergoing some renovations right now. Where she is is nice, but I know it's going to be better. It's expensive but you get what you pay for."

"Benchmark Senior Living at Plymouth Crossings is reasonably priced and small. There's 24-hours care there if my mom gets up at night and goes to the bathroom and stuff like that. Some of the others were just too big and they weren't going around to check on everybody. She's in assisted living. They help her with medications, bathing, and if she needs to get up they'll come and assist her to the bathroom. We like that she lives downstairs and is just down the hall. It's not like a huge building where she has to walk a lot. They cater to her and they have a lot of activities. The staff is also excellent. Her room is nice though it's not the biggest thing. She has a roommate on the other side and they share a kitchenette and a bathroom. She has her own separate room and they share a kitchen area with tables and chairs and a little refrigerator. They have music every Friday or Thursday night. They have a cocktail hour too, I just don't know if they're real cocktails or that's maybe wine. The location is easy to get to from the highway. They have transportation back and forth to doctor's appointments. They have a little minivan for any doctor's appointment that would require her to leave the facility. They have an in-house doctor too and they do all her medication twice a day. She says the food is really good. They have snacks and coffee that you can get whenever you want. Now because of COVID, you can go visit, but you have to stay contained. She goes to the dining area, but she can't have her husband go in there. They serve them lunch, it's a big meal, at the table. Whoever walks in, they take a temperature. This place is a lot cheaper than a lot of the other ones."

"Atria Fairhaven was lovely. I would have moved my aunt there in a minute if she would have gone. It was clean and bright and it smelled nice. I looked at an apartment on the first floor, and it was great. I looked at an apartment on the third floor, and it was great. The layout was good. It wasn't too far for people to get from one spot to another. I didn't meet that many people, but the people that I met were welcoming."

"staff very impressive. greatinteraction staff/patient. people are active and staff response xcellemt, i am volunteer from hospice. "

"My friend's a resident of Stafford Hill. The area I visited was more of an Alzheimer's area because you didn't get down there and they'd have to buzz you in. The staff were very attentive to the residents and caring. They have a nice dining area, but I didn't sample the food. One time I went in there and they were bowling, more or less a different type, but they were bowling. So, they do offer some things to them. The facility is very nice. The place seems nice to me, and the people are nice. I don't know if they allow pets for the people, but I know pets have come in with visitors."
