Memory Care Communities in Framingham, MA

"Maplewood at Weston was incredible. It was like designer everything. The apartment was nice, too. The only reason we didn't go with them is that my husband had an infection this winter and was hospitalized for a long time. He was in a wheelchair when I took him out there. We were trying hard to get him out of that wheelchair. He's having physical therapy and exercising, but they didn't have their own facility there. However, that is the most beautiful assisted living facility I've ever seen. The staff was wonderful, very knowledgeable, and extremely helpful. She still followed up, even after I told her we were going someplace else. She just wanted to see how I was doing because she knew I was going to have surgery. She's very good. I can't say enough good things about the place or for the help. They were great. They've won awards. It's quite a place. The food was better than most restaurants that I've been to. The fresh salmon salad was really good."

"Mother is in Wingate. She’s very happy there. The rooms are very nice, and the food is very good. "

"When I toured Blaire House of Milford Assisted Living, they took me to see the assisted living, including the memory care floor, which would be perfect for my mum, but they also do self-care there. They showed me the nursing home since that would be more of what we would need. But even though they said they don't have us on the waiting list, I would have to make sure she has Medicaid and everything first, or she could be evicted when she runs out of money. The community was very nice. It was clean. The residents seemed to be kept busy. They had a lot of things they could do to stay busy. The rooms were very nice. They could have their own chair and TV in there if they wanted. My mom was in another facility in January, and between that place and here, I did notice that they are very short-staffed, which I understand is a major problem in most nursing homes and assisted living. They don't have as much staff anyways, but that was one of the reasons why they figured it didn't work for my mother, because she needs more help than what they could offer in assisted living, besides the fact that it would have to be self-pay. They told me about a lot of activities and amenities. I only saw one group going on, but they told me about the other ones they have during the week, and what the different rooms and areas are that they could go and just do what they want, like a puzzle or whatever, or read, just someplace quiet if they want to get out of their room and not do it in their room. So, I mean, it seemed like they had a lot to offer. People were in the hallway, and they seemed to be happy. The only problem I had was the short staff that they seem to have. The facility was very nice. It wasn't huge, which made it kind of cozy. It's very clean, and they had a lot of privacy for the residents. They could go in their room. I mean, they weren't single rooms, but they did have a lot for them to go. They have a lot of areas so that if they didn't want to stay in their room, they could either be by themselves or join the group or, you know, meet other residents in different areas. They seemed to make it very comfortable for them."

"My family member has been there for a year. Not only is the facility beautiful but the staff is thoughtful, caring, and tries very hard to work within the limits of each resident. I had serious reservations going in, but they have greatly exceeded my expectations."

"I liked Evans Park at Newton Corner because of its proximity to our house, and it would be a good fit for the personality, types, and interests of our in-laws. The staff I met was great. They all were very nice, personable, friendly, and helpful. It was an older library that was converted into a senior living facility that had a refined taste in architecture and detail. It was very clean and the upkeep was very pristine. They had a physical/occupational therapy room, a small gym, and availability to either have their laundry done or to do it yourself. Everything was well maintained, and they're also going to be doing updates soon to the outside. I actually heard them working inside, so they are doing some renovations actively too."

"The staff member who met me at Benchmark Senior Living on Clapboardtree was so knowledgeable, kind, and great. She gave a great tour. They had a very nice lobby, I got to see their dining room, saw what they have to offer in terms of activities and I saw where they post the calendar. A exercise or stretching class was going on, and I got to meet the person who plans the activities. They seemed to listen to what kind of things my parents would be interested in, and then told me that those things could be offered whether it was gardening, lectures, or trips to museums. They're very good about that. Also, they gave us tips on how to help parents in downsizing and stuff like that. The rooms had kitchenettes. They said most people spend more time out of their rooms so the kitchens were getting smaller since people weren't using the hotplates or stovetops anymore. When they were redecorating or turning over the rooms, they were keeping the kitchens small."

"My good friend lived in the Assisted Living facility at Providence House for about two years before needing memory care. Providence House was a wonderful, caring community. The nurses, aides, director, and staff were all wonderful and treated my friend with care, dignity and respect. She loved the many daily activities, her room was comfortable and clean with good light pouring in the windows. We were able to add amenities (laundry, extra help, etc.) seamlessly. I also appreciated the care we received as friends. PH staff were compassionate and lovely to deal with. I'm forever grateful to them. "

"I toured All American Assisted Living at Wrentham. I had nothing negative to say about my entire experience. The woman I met was fantastic. She was very good and very informative, so I was impressed with that. She took me to one of the rooms that they would be renting. We really had a nice conversation for a long time. I felt like she really tried to understand my mother. I actually met other people that live there, which was kind of nice. One of them came up and sat down with me, and it was wonderful. I also met a few people that work there. I really felt like I got to know the place and got a feel for it. They have physical therapy. They talked about how certain kinds of therapies could be billed to the insurance company directly, so I don't have to worry about taking her somewhere or having someone come in. They did talk about the different services that are available. They have a hairdressing salon and a nail salon."

"I love Dodge Park Rest Home. My mother is content and happy there. She's well taken care of. Honestly, I couldn't ask for anything more. The nurses and staff are very nice. I sleep at night knowing the people there are very caring, are right there when she needs help and on top of any of her issues. It's also very clean. I like the homey feeling of the old house. There's no odor, it's like your own home. Housekeeping does a very good job. In addition, the food tastes good. I actually bring my kids with me sometimes. They like the food there. My mother tries to participate in all their activities. They have arts and crafts, a gentleman that comes in and does music like guitar or singing and dancing with them and another one does exercise. Overall, it's a wonderful place. My mother likes it there."

"My father is in Windrose at Woburn. They only take people who have dementia and Alzheimer's. It's very clean. The staff and the services are excellent. They have all kinds of activities. They play games, they do arts and crafts, they have entertainment come in, and they sing. One thing I am not happy about is the food. I'm going to reach out to the executive director of the facility, and we need to have a conversation because I am not happy with the food. They're very reasonable price-wise."

"I loved Sunrise. The service was great, but it's a little pricey. Also, if the person needs more care during the month, the pricing will go up. It’s a very nice facility and close to our house. It had good activities, and the dining area was wonderful, but I was concerned that they were looking for staff and might have a high turnover there. "

"Windsor Place of Wilmington was good and very nice. We enjoyed the people that showed us around the community. We had lunch there and it was very good. The place was clean, and the rooms were large. It looked comfortable, and the people seemed to be very friendly."

"I highly recommend them. It is local and they are very friendly, very caring, and supportive. My mom is in memory care and our move-in experience was excellent. They were very helpful. She seems to enjoy the meals. It is very clean and they have excellent housekeeping. If there's any issue that comes up, they are very quick to call. They offer bingo, sing-alongs, and movies, too."
