Memory Care Communities in Salem, NH

"I toured Atria Marland Place. It's a very attractive, clean, and well-run community. I wouldn't hesitate to take advantage of the services. I went through it with the manager, who was very good. The facility was nice and pleasant."

"I went to Bridges by EPOCH at Andover. The space was designed very well, and I like that their prices are all together. There's no calculating involved. The people were amazing. I met several people that lived here. I was very happy with the place. I got to see the menu and it looked delicious. They had a lot of options. I talked to a few of the residents and they said the food is great. Everybody seemed very happy. The atmosphere was very pleasant. I did not see any activity. Everyone was just finishing up lunch. It's beautiful, spacious, and very secure."

"Everyone is caring and kind. Management was available any time of day I emailed a question. Maintenance helped our Dad move his furniture. We had short ribs brought to the room with desserts, and then they brought us wine. Dad has met a group of friends talks about the aids and nurses. He keeps busy, sometimes too busy to take my call. It’s a great feeling to know he’s happy."

"The Atrium at Drum Hill is a well-designed and well-kept facility. The staff who I met were all very polite and looked to be very efficient. It appears to be a comfortable environment, one which I'm happy to entrust my mother to."

"The Courville at Nashua-Aynsley seemed more like a home for mom. It is a small community and everyone is generally kind and considerate. It fits her needs and what she wants. She wanted a little mini kitchenette almost like an apartment versus a regular room. They had plenty of activities going on and everyone seemed to be engaged in the activities, if they wanted to. The menu and everything for the food seemed excellent too. One day they were making centerpieces for the dining room tables with fresh cut flowers. They have a social hour every day at 4 p.m. for the residents to go down right before dinner. So, those are the two things that were nice about it. They also have a doctor who visits every single week and makes his rounds there."

"All American Assisted Living at Kingston is a very nice facility. When you picture in your mind an assisted living facility, you're thinking more of a hospital-type environment, but this was very homey almost. When you walk in the front door, it's very welcoming. It's more like a hotel-type environment when you first walk in, so you didn't get the impression that this was an assisted living facility. In the companion rooms, they have a microwave, a mini fridge, and a sink. It's like a hotel suite, so there are two bedrooms and a shared space with the kitchenette and a bathroom. The staff who gave the tour was wonderful. She was very understanding and attentive, listened to my concerns, and was very reassuring. They took me into the bistro area and offered me any snacks or drinks that they might have had available for the residents. The building is four years old. They have an outdoor gardening area, a path for the residents to walk around the building, and rocking chairs on the front porch. They have a big activity area, too."

"I moved into Benchmark Senior Living at Nashua Crossings, and they're excellent. The staff members have been very caring. They let me do as much as I could, and then they helped me with the rest. The food is good. It's home-cooked food. They have lots of activities. I have a studio, but it's got plenty of room. They don't provide my television. I have to provide my own. My room is very clean. When I press the buzzer, they come within 5 minutes, which is excellent."

"Benchmark Senior Living at Billerica Crossings was a quaint and attractive facility. The staff and everybody we encountered seemed fully engaged. One thing I noticed was most of the staff had significant tenure there, which tells me that they're happy and I think this is important to consider as well. Michelle was the lady that did the tour and she was fantastic, very accommodating, and answered all our questions. She just did a great job. As far as amenities offered, they all seemed to be the same. I didn't notice any significant difference. They had full nurse care available until 7:00 every night and then a nurse practitioner onsite for those remaining hours of the day. The dining room was very nice, too. It was attractive and up-to-date. They offer continual service throughout the day, which I thought was very convenient as well. They had a salon and frequent day trips. They had quite an active social calendar for the residents."

"The facility and staff at Atria at Merrimack Place are wonderful! The business director has answered every single question about my parent's ever changing bill. Maintenance has been on duty with my parent's multiple moves and apartment needs. Nursing staff has gone above and beyond to help with my parents needs. Receptionist makes me feel like family when I sign in. Bus driver has been such a help their adjustment to Atria with providing rides to church, Dr's appointments (even outside of scheduled times), trips around town, and just a listening ear. Executive Director has been there for me and my family as my parents adjusted to their new living situation. Your entire staff is so kind and I tell everyone that I talk to that I haven't met a single person that works at Atria that isn't awesome. I absolutely love seeing the Atria Facebook posts that Community Director adds. The care and engagement that you provide for my parents (and all of the residents) honestly moves me to tears."

"I toured Bridges by EPOCH at Nashua. It was impeccable. Everything anybody would like to have. The price was correct. The food was great because they sat me down and gave me a sandwich. It's a beautiful place. The only reason that I pulled away from it is the fact that I would like to be close to my wife. In my time, I would like to go to the same place, but they don't have that. They only have memory care."

"The Arbors of Bedford was a very nice place and the price was comparable, but they would not accept Medicaid. It was clean and spacious, and the rooms were nice. Even if there were two residents in one room, they didn't look like hospital rooms. The residents were able to go out in the patio areas without having to have somebody with them necessarily. The people that we met there were very friendly and they obviously took good care of the residents. For meals, they said they would be offering two different things. They gave us some very good smelling baked bread when we left."

"We were directed to Windsor Place by a Care Patrol employee. From my first phone call to Sandra and virtual tour, I got a good feeling about this facility. They were very a ccomodating about a month of respite care while we looked for a permanent home for our relative in NYC. The memory care unit staff were excellent, attentive to each individual's needs, planning varied activities each day and ensuring each resident's safety. The nurses were in regular contact with us. Sandra was always available by phone or e-mail. The owners were on the premises and always willing to speak with you. The front desk staff greeted you warmly every time that you entered. From day one, our family's experience was terrific. I would highly recommend Windsor Place to potential residents."

"My mother has been a resident of Bridges by Epoch in Westford, Massachusetts for almost two years. She has received outstanding care and thoroughly enjoys all the activities and entertainment offered. Meals are appetizing and wholesome and the familiarity of a daily routine is comforting to residents dealing with memory issues. The staff and management at Bridges in Westford are compassionate and professional. They work tirelessly with the residents and are very responsive to each resident's wants and needs. Highly recommended!"

"My mother-in-law moved into The Residence at Pearl Street 2 weeks ago. She is very comfortable and very happy there. So far, they're doing a nice job. It's a very beautiful and clean place. It was a former school, which they've done over. On the inside, they have a lot of really nice common areas with television or tables for playing cards. They have a big and beautiful dining room with sunny windows. They also have daily and weekly activities, including going shopping which they do once or twice a week. She's been able to attend church services. Right now, they're doing it televised in the residence. And then someone brings over communion for them, which is nice. She has a studio apartment with a full bathroom and a little kitchenette that has enough room for a table and two chairs, a 2-burner stove, a refrigerator, and a sink. She has a big common room that's large enough for her bed, a chair, a TV, and a big walk-in closet. They offer meals there - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But she can make herself food if she wants to. They have a beauty salon and a library, and there are washers and dryers on site. Since it's assisted living, there is an attendant that comes by every day if you need someone to help you with your medication. They bring people in to do various things like music. My mother-in-law was telling me that they had someone playing the piano and they were playing music from the 40s and 50s. She says the food is good, but she doesn't rave about it. "
