The Best Memory Care Communities in Bristol County, MA

"My dad went for rehab. PT and OT were on par with my expectations. They did a great job with him. Nursing staff was personable, but I didn't care for the lack of communication and ignoring of wishes regarding their changes to his meds. Their doctor never called me back to discuss. Physical plant is spacious and welcoming, although it's showing it's age. "

"My aunt will be moving into The Highlands on the East Side. The tour was very good. Chloe took me around to all the places. We looked at three different types of rooms. The grounds are well-kept. The people were very friendly, and they have resident ambassadors, which I liked. They helped the new people to assimilate into the community, get them active, and help them make friends and things like that. I like that about them. They're right in the city, so they're close to everything, even the hospital. The 1 bedroom was very nicely sized with a walk-in closet. The studios are a decent size as well, but my aunt wanted a 1-bedroom. There are typical activities like at other assisted living places, but some of the residents were even doing their own type of classes. One guy was teaching other people how to use the computer. There were other places where people were reading together. There was a really nice outdoor patio. They have a library, a beauty salon, and a courtyard. Chloe is wonderful, she's the main person that we've been dealing with and she's even called to check up on how my aunt is doing in the hospital. I don't know the full layout of the facility because we only went down one hallway and up to the second floor. It looks pretty decent, and it's not too big. This place was easy to manage. The hallways were nice and there were elevators. They provide three meals a day."

"I like the All American Assisted Living at Wareham. The first thing that drew me to them was their service and their responsiveness. They were the first one that responded. During that period, I had COVID, so I really couldn't see the place, so they offered me a virtual tour and they did that very quickly. Then as soon as I was over COVID, I called and the director there gave me an actual tour and showed me all the different rooms and what was available. The thing that struck me about the place is that it was extremely clean. I checked out the dining area, and I was pretty impressed with the menu that they had. I was in the food business, so I do look at things in terms of health consciousness. When you walk into the dining area, they have the menu for the day and then beside the menu for the day, they actually have a plate with the actual food that they're going to be serving, so people know what they're going to be looking at, and I was pretty impressed with that. Then I went to a conference room, and I asked all these questions and the director was very forthcoming with all of the answers. I asked her if she had a brochure, and she gave me the brochure, and she's followed through. She has been following through, and she calls constantly to see how things are going. She is really very on with this. I'm very, very impressed with All American and their response. We haven't tried the food yet, but I looked at the menu and it looked like a very well-balanced meal that the residents were getting. I talked to the nurses, the physical therapists, and the occupational therapists, and they all seemed really kind, caring people, and that's the environment I want to get my mother into. I'm extremely impressed. I was in the service business, so I liked the service that they've given me. I like the care that they I've seen when they're dealing with the people, who are living at the assisted living at this moment, and all we want to do is we want to keep her safe and we want her to be happy, and I think this is a really good match. And I felt this was a good central area for at least the three of us to be able to go and visit her. I felt that this would be a lot more convenient to everybody, and I was also surprised by all of the things that they offer the residents. I was so impressed with how clean and how organized the place is. There's no wear and tear, etc. Everything was very pristine. It was a very, very well-run organization."

"My mother was he,re which was a beautiful place, but they didn't take Medicaid. I highly recommend it. They have their own apartments there. The place is very clean. The food is amazing. They have their own personal chef. The apartments are beautiful. It's like a studio apartment with a nice, big bathroom and a little kitchen area. The dining area is absolutely beautiful. It looks like a five-star restaurant. They take them on field trips and to restaurants. They have people come in and entertain once a week. They do movies and all kinds of activities. All the staff were extremely nice. It's expensive because my mother doesn't have a lot of money. They go by the level of care because there are different levels of dementia."

"The Phyllis Siperstein Tamarisk RI Assisted Living Residence wasn't as new as the other place. The dining area was very nice. They showed us empty rooms and it's hard to figure out how you're going to put furniture in it. Everybody was very nice. The staff was pleasant. I just found out that everybody was so old. I didn't feel comfortable. I didn't feel like I belonged there. They gave us menus to look at, to take home if we wanted, which we did, and everything looked good. They have tours and all kinds of things to do in different places."

"I visited Chapel Hill Senior Living. They were very nice. We very much enjoyed them. What I liked about it is it's a one-floor memory care unit. The staff definitely knew the residents. They called them by name, and then they had conversations as we were walking around. It was very clean. I also liked the fact that they had an area in the back with a garden, and it was not locked, so residents can go out if they want and come back in, and it's all gated. For my dad, who's a little bit more cognitive, to be able to actually go out into that area is very nice, because if it's locked, I think it makes him feel like he's in jail a little bit. The staff was wonderful. Cristina, who gave us the tour, was awesome, very friendly, very knowledgeable, and very helpful. I was super impressed. They had a patio and a courtyard."

"All American Assisted Living at Warwick was close to where we are. My father moved into assisted living. It's good. The staff was very good; they were helpful and friendly. From what I understand, the food is good. At first it was delivered to his room. Delivery was a little slower, and the food was a little colder, but he's fine now that he's going down to the dining room. The facility is very nice looking."

"My mom moved into All American Assisted Living at Wrentham. I chose it because it was like the first one I went to, it was close to my house, and it was very clean. Everybody there is awesome. My mother has not complained about the food. She eats every meal. There's a lot of activities. They give a flier every day and they do them all day long. They do exercises, bingo, bowling, arts and crafts, and puzzles. They play games, like a Jeopardy type thing."

"My mom had fallen and ended up in the hospital. We realized that she could not live at home any longer. We visited many assisted living facilities. Wingate had everything as far as rehab, memory care, nursing home. The rooms are gorgeous over looking the lake and garden. She went from rehab to assisted living. She was not easy to deal with but the staff was able to win her over. My moms health declined quickly. The staff went above and beyond to make my mom and our family comfortable. If I ever had any concerns they always addressed it and never dismissed it. My mom passed in March 2022. I have zero regrets and would recommend Wingate Inn to any of my friends looking for elder care."

"Great living, Great People, Over all best place for my parents. "

"My mom became a resident at Duxbury House back at the end of June 2021. Her memory loss was causing her a lot of anxiety. Since coming to Duxbury House she is calmer and the routine the staff has created keeps her engaged and happy. I enjoy coming and participating in exercise class along with the many games and cultural activities they plan for the residents. Knowing my mom is in a safe environment with caring staff gives me peace. "

"The only reason we didn't pick The Current South Shore is that the apartment was on the fifth floor, and the porch was way bigger. It didn't have a cover, so we were wondering how we were going to shovel it and where do you put the snow when you're five stories up. The Current South Shore was actually really nice. It was brand new. It was six months old. The apartment that they showed us was a studio with a huge porch, and that was for independent living. I would give it a 3 only because right beside it was an automotive shop, and you could smell the oil if you went outside. Also, if my dad needed more help, he would lose his apartment, and he would get a smaller place. The staff member who gave the tour was wonderful, but the other person was awful. We gave them money first and then changed our mind because the other person was so bad. The place is beautiful, but one of their problems is the way the driveway is. When you come in, there's not much room. It's the way it's designed."

"I toured Allerton House at Proprietors Green. It was exquisite. The staff were very friendly. They had everything that I could be interested in. They had a theater, they had a pub, they had transportation, and they had a lovely dining room. It's extremely clean. It was in a very equipped location for everything."
