I can’t help but give this place 5 stars. It’s been a godsend to my very, very picky mother. She wants nothing but the best and is able to find fault with anything, but here she is hard-pressed to find reasons to gripe. Their advertising and presence on the internet is pretty much spot-on. Gorgeous place with wonderful amenities at a price that is amazingly affordable for the level of luxury. But my main rave is the staff. Haven’t found one who doesn’t seem to really enjoy their job and be willing to go very far out of their way to be of help. Amazing! My mother has one gripe—the food. They are served 3 meals a day restaurant style in lovely surroundings, but with only one choice. My mother says the grade of meat they serve is not up to her (very high) standards. I don’t know if this is true, but coming from a vegetarian with very peculiar eating habits, I take that with a grain of salt. The meals I’ve enjoyed there are always great. With a library, in-house piano recitals, well-appointed apartment units and livelier than expected residents, this place is tough to fault on any level. I hope and trust that is they pay their employees as much as they possibly can and that their lowest wage meets the $15/hour non-poverty requirement!

Millstream Commons is a beautiful community but they told us that we weren't or wouldn't be right for them anyway. The average age of the residents there is 88 years old. It's beautiful. It's absolutely gorgeous. The prices were somewhat high. There is no flexible meal plan. The staff was very knowledgeable. Parking is not a problem there because a large number of the residents don't have cars so the parking is more than adequate.

The staff is extremely friendly and always ready to help. The place is a wonderful new building located very close, withing walking distance, to a great park, a farmer's market, a mall with restaurants, an organic food supermarket co-op, Northfield's historic downtown and the bank next door. The place inside is very clean and well organized and offers many amenities for the elderly.
