Memory Care Communities in Plymouth, MA

"We were able to tour Keystone Place at Buzzards Bay. They showed us the boudoir and 2-bedrooms. Then we took a visit into the assisted living to see what the differences were in the size of the rooms. We looked at the dining area and we looked at the trail that goes down to the canal. They had their activities there. There were people doing volunteer work and sending out care packages to people. There's a weight room with exercise machines, they have field trips that take people places, and there were a lot of decent options. The rooms were clean, the one who toured us said that every time there's a departure, the crew comes in and they replace the carpets and do some deep cleaning. When people move into a unit that is new to them, it's fairly clean and fresh. The building has only been there for about six or seven years, so it's a nice place. The staff is pleasant, they welcomed us, they didn't know who we were, but they welcomed us. When we ran into two workers in the corridors, they stopped and chatted with us. We asked questions and they were good with their answers."

"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."

"Mom didn't choose All American Assisted Living because everyone shares a bathroom. You have a roommate and a separate bedroom, but you share a kitchenette and a bathroom. Other than that, the place was nice and the people were very friendly. The dining area was nice and clean. They had a library, an activity room, a room for happy hour and cooking demonstrations, and a dining room for family gatherings. I wasn't impressed with the small outside area."

"It was very nice. The staff was very professional, caring, and helpful. The rooms were wonderful. They were excellent. I toured the dining and kitchen areas, and they were very nice, neat, and clean. "

"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."

"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. "

"I went to Maplewood at Mayflower Place. Our tour guide, Julie, was exceptional. She took so much time with us, and since it was our first place we had a ton of questions. We were very impressed with the whole place. One of the impressive points is that their independent and assisted care is combined. So if my friend went to independent care but then was disabled somehow and needed assistance, she would not have to move. She would stay in her same place and just get the care she needed. The dining room is combined, so if she had a friend who left and went to assisted care, she wouldn't really be leaving. She would just be getting new services, so that seemed exceptional to both of us. She would move once and not move again unless she, of course, had dementia, but then they can accommodate that in a separate facility. Their accommodations, their amenities, everything was topnotch. We saw three apartments and she could see herself staying there. The room sizes had a variety. The kitchens were all the same and adequate, and the bathrooms were spacious and handicap accessible. The differences were the bedroom, living, and dining options, but the decks were spacious. One apartment had two decks. They seemed airy and the rooms were very bright and the ceilings were high, so you didn't feel closed in at all. We were given a coffee cake, which was exceptional, but we have not had a meal there. We have decided to come back for one."

" After a lot of looking and comparing it was an easy decision to choose Mill Hill Residence as the place my aunt. The leadership and staff were patient and supportive in helping to insure a smooth and pleasant life style change that my aunt was facing. After six months she has adapted very well greatly due to the skill and attention of the Mill Hill staff. It is very reassuring to our family to know she is getting the best care possible"

"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."

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

"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."

"I didn't like the memory care unit at Heights Crossing. I didn't like that you don't have a private bedroom in the memory care. They are near a mall and a hospital. I toured both assisted living and memory care. The memory unit is old and worn out. I don't think that you should be paying between $8,000 and 10,000 and not have any privacy. You have to share a bathroom. You have to share common space. You have to have an open bedroom. There's no privacy for $8,000 to $10,000 a month. You might as well go to a nursing home then, if you're not going to have privacy. I spoke with two staff members, and they were both very approachable and very accommodating. They took the time with me. I can't say anything bad about them. Their rooms were a smaller size. One bedroom was open to the other. If you're watching television or something, you would hear the other person's television. If you have company, they would see your company. Then there's a little common area, and you share a bathroom. In terms of location, it was off the highway. There was a mall across the street, and there's a hospital nearby. It's not on a busy road."

"My Mom was a resident at Bridges by Epoch in Hingham. I have only wonderful things to say about ALL of the staff, the facilities and the care my Mom received! The Facility is brand new and meticulously kept with all of the modern conveniences and decor of a newly constructed home including granite counter tops in the kitchens; inviting living rooms and cozy bedrooms to beautifully landscaped courtyards. While the modern, extremely clean physical structure of the Facility is what caught my attention initially, it was the love, care, knowledge and professionalism of ALL of the Bridges Staff that won me over! My mother spent the last year of her life as a member of the Bridges Community. Her disease was very complicated creating numerous obstacles in her care. The Bridges Staff not only engaged my Mom and the other residents in interesting and fun activities, but they were in constant communication with my family and me. They were very clear right from the start as to what care and services they would be able to provide and worked tirelessly and continuously with my Mom and my family to provide top-notch care. As my mother’s disease progressed, the Staff assisted us in creating and supporting my mother and my family with an end of life plan. It was so comforting going through such a very sad and difficult time with the Bridges Staff. The out-pouring of love, affection and care they gave my Mom (and my family) was nothing less than spectacular!!! Through this experience, I felt as though I gained an extended family in the Bridges Staff. They are truly amazing people who had touched both my mother’s and my life deeply. I am so grateful! "
