Memory Care Communities in Brockton, MA

"Allerton House at Central Park is absolutely breathtaking inside. The surroundings were beautiful, and the way they decorated was very, very pleasing. The staff we met was excellent. In terms of activities, they offered everything. The rooms were laid out really nicely, so I have nothing bad to say about that. The thing is that they're too busy in the surrounding area for us. They had a salon and a library."

"I was very impressed with Benchmark at Hanover. It was very nice, very clean, and well-kept. It's very new. They are at 65 percent capacity. The apartments were also very clean. The suite that we viewed was very spacious, accommodating, and we thought it was very good. They were extremely helpful, extremely caring, and understanding of the situation. The dining area was very nice, well-kept, and smelling clean. I saw people with snacks, like muffins and stuff like that, and they looked very good."

"We have been very happy with the service that Whitney Place at Sharon has been giving, first with my mother and father, and now just my dad. They've gone out of their way to help in a variety of situations. The staff seems great. The only drawback is my father is Roman Catholic and it's generally more of a Jewish community. Arranging for getting a Sunday mass has been the only drawback at this point. The food seems fine. Things have changed with the Coronavirus, but still it seems to be very adequate and adaptable for special diets."

"The only place I toured was The Atrium at Faxon Woods. It seemed like a nice place, and it was close. But I think my friend didn't choose it because of the price. The staff who toured us was very nice. They had one-people and two-people rooms. I believe they're mostly two-people rooms. The place was very clean when we went through. The dining area was very nice. Everything seemed to be very well kept up and very neat."

"The Village at Willow Crossings was a terrific place. It was the greatest place you could imagine. I only met two of the staff members. One was the manager, the other was walking the floors, and they were both great. We talked to some of the residents and they loved the staff, too. You could get a single room or a shared room, depending on what you want. The place was almost brand new. It was clean as a whistle and it was very nicely laid out. It was long and it covered a lot of areas, which would be a little difficult for my mom because she couldn't walk that far."

"My mother-in law was in The Bridges for a couple of weeks before she passed away. It's brand new. They were wonderful, the staff was phenomenal, always willing to help us out with anything, and the place was spotless. They're awesome, the food was delicious, and there's a beautiful dining place. They don't provide a bed, so we had to purchase a set."

"I went to Sunrise of Norwood. I love that place. It's beautiful. It's a mansion that some doctor owned. The staff was awesome. They had the best overall facility as far as homeyness and ease of getting mom to her meals. But I think the location just wasn't going to be as easy for me to do the servicing once I realized I had to do this wound care thing. So, Sunrise is a great place. It was wonderful. It was reasonably priced. They were wonderful people. They spent a good amount of time with me. They gave me a lot of information. They were very knowledgeable. The place had zero smell of any kind. It was perfectly clean."

"What my mother was looking for was independent living with one meal a day, and apartments that had a kitchen with an actual stove. The other thing that she wanted was a balcony or an outdoor space, and New Pond Village had all of those things. It was a combination of the main things, the location, and the one-meal-a-day plan. They do have step-up care available. You can move to assisted or memory care from there. They've done a lot of recent renovations. The apartment that my mother got is gorgeous. It has a high ceiling and lots of light and windows. The common spaces are very nice. They're attractively laid out. The library is beautiful. The dining room is on the lower floor. It's like a walkout from the lower level basement and that's very pretty. The food was pretty good, there are multiple options, and it's served sit-down style for dinner like you're seated at a table and a staff member comes and takes your order. There's a bunch of things that they always offer at every meal and lots of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. There's nothing wrong with the place. It's nice, it's just a lot of money. The staff is great."

"My mother in law has been a resident at Hingham Bridges for 1-1/2 years. The facilities, staff, and activities are wonderful. They have not had any Covid infections since the pandemic began. The residents are not in their rooms except to sleep. They spend time in their living areas socializing together, and there are large living room and kitchen/dining areas where the friends are all together. Clean, bright, sunny, and the staff are cheerful and caring. Each wing has about 16 residents, and they all have access to large sunny courtyards that are beautifully landscaped, with paved pathways for walks, and rocking chairs, tables and umbrellas for visiting and socializing. The residents can go out to the courtyard on their own during nice weather. Each day there is a full calendar of activities, even during the pandemic. They continue to bring entertainment in--and have had several concerts and activities outdoors in the courtyards, and indoors while everyone is wearing masks and is socially distanced. They do crafts, memory activities, games, art and there is a lot of one on one time. There is also a hair salon on site, and the dentist and podiatrist visit monthly for anyone needing appointments. My husband, my mother in law and I could not be happier with her care. They even somehow make her ground food medical requirement tasty as their chef really cares!"

"I toured Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree. It's a very nice place, but they didn't have an opening for my mother and father to live together, which is a very big part of it. They've been married for 62 years, and they want to be together. They just didn't have a room. There was no availability for a room for them to be together, and the wait would have been a minimum of six months to a year and a half, and I'm like, no. The place was nice. It was more set up as apartments than a senior living place. They are under construction, so a lot of the grounds are torn up right now. They're redoing the outside and redoing the porches. It's nice, it's a smaller place, but it doesn't offer as much. I wouldn't say anything bad about it, and I would have considered it, but all in all, it doesn't hold a candle to the place my parents are going. The staff was awesome. They were always very nice, but they didn't hit all the boxes or the one most important box. They had a couple of amenities but not as much as the place. They don't have as large a staff. It's not bright. There weren't as many windows as I would have liked. It's more of an older building. The layout of the building is not as great as I would have liked to have seen for an Alzheimer's unit. It's more like apartments with a big room at the end of the hall where they can get together where everybody opens the door and they're out into a community area. "

"My wife moved into Bridges by EPOCH at Pembroke. It's a nice facility and it is very clean. It's only about 5 years old. The decorations are just beautiful. She's acclimating well there now. The staff is very experienced and very involved, and they make the residents very comfortable. They watch out for them. They're concerned about not only the residents but the families as well. I've got no complaints about her safety, and she's getting involved in the activities. The food is good. It's adequate. For most of the meals, they serve nice hot soup. There are activities every day. They start the day with some kind of a meeting type of thing where they have news of the day. They'll do physical activity. Even if you're in a wheelchair, you can still move your arms and move your legs. They have entertainment once or twice a day. They have music therapy, and they have all the different hand therapy and mental therapy."

"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."

"When I knew my sister needed to live in an assisted living/memory care facility, I developed the criteria that I felt was important. Ideally I wanted the facility to be near me so I readily could have 'easy' contact for visits and to meet whatever needs might arise. I wanted the facility to provide safety and security for her, a social setting to combat loneliness and activities to keep her engaged. I wanted her to be able to live her life as fully as she was able. Living in Hingham myself, I looked to Google to see what (if any) facility might exist in my immediate area. When seeing that Allerton House was an option, I called to make an appointment with the Marketing Manager. Upon entering the site, I was blown away. It was very well appointed - actually beautiful - and had the look and feel of a private residence. Once the Manager explained the services and answered my initial questions, I was shown an actual unit. I was convinced my search was over. My prayers were answered! Initially I secured a unit in the assisted living portion of Allerton. After two years., my sister relocated to the memory cars area in a wing of Allerton. Simple transition. Fast forwarding, my sister has lived at Allerton for 3 1/4 years now. She loves it !! And I love it. The care and attention she receives daily has made her feel loved, comfortable and secure. No more being responsible for cooking, cleaning etc. and other pesky chores. And she dines in a restaurant quality dining room daily. She often raves about the variety and quality of the food. And the availability of snacks and special offerings for occasions is a bonus. She is an active participant in the numerous activities, enjoys the bus trips to various local sites and has made many friends - no longer alone in a big house. Among her friends are the staff who are extremely caring and supportive. I am kept completely informed of any concerns the staff may have of her needs both medically and socially. We communicate in person, by telephone or by text. The management, nursing staff, aides, receptionists and maintenance staff are exemplary - each and every one. Being the primary giver, Allerton House has given me peace of mind. I know my sister is happy and being well cared for while living her life in a nurturing and loving environment. Hats off to the staff at Allerton who consistently - particularly during these trying times - meet her needs and my expectations and then some! Amen. "

"We visited Traditions of Dedham and we liked it. The caregivers were very personable. The people that live there seemed very happy. There were a lot of activities. The food looked really good, and they seemed to be happy with that. It was clean. They have like art classes, they have a small library, and they have like physical activity type classes, and I saw one of those. They have like little happy hours, and they have trips that they take them on with a van. They have bingo, game night, and movie nights. Every day, they have something. They have a schedule and a calendar with at least one thing every day. They gave us some cookies that the chef had made and those were pretty good."
