Memory Care Communities in Norwood, MA

"I had moved into Wingate Residences at Needham, but I had to move out again, not that I got sick and nobody around me got sick, but I knew I'd be in lockdown in their senior living and that would defeat the purpose of my living there, so I moved back home. I was there for a couple of weeks. They were very nice. It was a lovely place. They provide excellent service, good food, and things that you would hope for, but I didn't want to be isolated. There's a library, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a theater, but I couldn't take advantage of any of these things because of the Covid lockdown. I had two Covid tests, so I had to stay in quarantine the whole time. The physical appearance was beautiful. I had a little experience with the activities. I heard an excellent lecture on my first day, but then I had to go on quarantine, so I didn't get to experience anything."

"I visited Sunrise of Braintree. The people were wonderful. The place was beautiful. I was definitely one of my first choices for my mother. I would highly recommend it. I liked that it was very warm and inviting. It had a comfortable atmosphere. It made me feel comfortable leaving my mother there. "

"The staff at Adelaide are dedicated and loving (despite the full PPE). Residents have access to a physician, a psychiatrist, dental, podiatry, and a host of other support services and amenities on-site. The nurses and family liaison assist with organizing the support. Adelaide looks quite a bit a little different that other Memory Care facilities I visited. The natural light is abundant! The community also has access to internal courtyards which the residents (and visiting families) use frequently. Expensive but the extra benefits are clear."

"I went and visited The Falls at Cordingly Dam. That's the place I like for my parents. Basically what I like about it was if somebody is not totally like needing memory care, they have an assisted living area where they would take people in through the day. It's called The Lighthouse Club. It's for people who don't necessarily need memory care. It's a good program because they keep them busy during the day and then they go back and can be in the assisted living area. I thought that is a unique thing. They also showed me their apartments and they were very nice. The dining room was beautiful too. The staff was kind and friendly. They were just lovely people. They did have activities for their residents like cooking, art work, etc. "

"I liked Providence House Assisted Living. It was bright, and it was accessible. There was parking there. The staff was very nice. It's very clean. I was surprised by how bright it was. It didn't feel like a nursing home. They had things for the people to participate in. They have transportation if you don't have a car to go shopping three times a week. There are studios and apartments. They have a hair salon. They were playing Wheel of Fortune. They have tons of puzzles, and they have a library. Providence House is my favorite."

"I toured Evans Park at Newton Corner. I liked it a lot. The staff is typically there like seven years average, and that is important. It is a lively space with lots of activities. You have your choice of dining time. It is a place that I'm considering for my aunt once we know what it is she needs. The staff who showed me around took time with me. He introduced me to the director, and he answered all my questions. The facilities were a little older than some of the new ones. But they have a patio there."

"My parents have been living at Maplewood at Weston for a few months now. We toured a few other facilities and found that Maplewood at Weston was the best fit for my parents. The Community Relations Directors was very resourceful and helped us make this very tough decision. The rooms were spacious and all their furniture fit into the room very nicely. Due to Covid-19 they weren't able to join too many activities - but thing are now improving. The staff has been very supportive to their needs and respond very quickly when needed. The Director of the facility is very welcoming and is always there to answer any question I might have or that of my parents. My dad enjoys walking around the facility and talking with anyone who is willing to have a conversation. "

"The staff at Epoch has been phenomenal. They have gone out of their way to be present every day in my mother's life, from physical care to encouraging her to engage in activities making a point of getting her out of her room. My family could not be happier! "

"All American Assisted Living at Wrentham is our choice because of its price, and it's very clean, too. The staff was very good. She was excellent. She did a very good job. The room is like a suite with a small living room, a small kitchen, and a little dining area. It's like a studio with everything you need. The dining area was very nice, very clean and very organized. There is no smell. In terms of activities, the residents had a ball game during my tour. I think they have everything that my father needs."

"I went to The Village at Willow Crossings to see what's available. It's a beautiful place, but you have to buy into it as far as I know, and my cousin is not in any kind of financial authority to do that. I think once you buy into it, if you become incapacitated, you can go across to the other facility. That was my understanding. It was out of her price range anyway. It's clean; it's new. I was very pleased with that, but it's not for the poor people. I was treated very well. The staff was personable and answered all of my questions. They showed me all the assisted homes, and they were beautiful too. The whole place is very nice visually. It's very lovely. It's a nice complex. If I have the money, I might consider it. I didn't see anything negative there at all. They were going to lunch when I got there. I got to see the menu, and their dining room was excellent. The place was home-like. "

"I found a place for my dad here. They have 3 floors with only 15 residents per floor. I felt like it's a smaller community, it's closer to me and my sister, and so far, so good. So far, I like it. His apartment is extremely clean and they have all kinds of activities going on during the day. They have tables set up if the residents want to sit down and do puzzles or any arts and crafts. That stuff is always available, but they also have things planned during the day. My father said he loves the food and he's happy with it. They have places you can go if you want to sit alone. They can stretch out all over the place like you can go in the sunroom with sofas you can sit on. There are just plenty of places to visit."

"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."

"Allerton House at Central Park is very well-organized and compact. It's comforting because everything is right there at your fingertips. The location is very good and convenient to everything. Everything looked brand new and was very well set up for a person who would need this type of help, so there weren't any crevices or things that would get in the way. The staff seemed great. The food looked very good."
