Recent reviews of Memory Care in Harwich, MA
Autumn Glen at Dartmouth in North Dartmouth, MA
5.0 / 5.0

Previously my love one was at a different facility and I will say that it is much better for her. They provide a lot of nice programs that they run. They do have a Memory Care section and I find that the people here are just more caring. The staff team is very knowledgeable and communicative. If something were to happen they are very good at calling me immediately and to let me know. I highly recommend this facility

Harbor Point at Centerville
4.7 / 5.0

They have always had a lot of activities going on, the residents are always kept very busy. The staff have been very outgoing and welcoming to all the people who have come to visit, and now the activities are open to the public and they are just so kind to everyone who participates in the activities with their loved ones. Also this community is set up in a very nice way for those who have memory loss issues.
