Recent reviews of Memory Care in Ipswich, MA
Atria Merrimack Place in Newburyport, MA
5.0

We chose Atria Merrimack Place because of the quality of the facility as well as the convenience to family. His room size was adequate for his needs. I ate here and the quality of food was good but the options were limited. My favorite part about the community was that it was a positive environment, especially the staff members. I would recommend.

Partridge House in Hampton, NH
5.0

The staff loves what they do and it shows!!!! The facility is very homey and sets a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend. My siblings were all very impressed with the facility and mom's care as well. My Mom passed in July and I was so happy she spent her last months here.

The Gables at Winchester
4.8

It is a small and friendly community which provides a plethora of services not only for independent living but for those who need assistance. There is a host of activities to keep the body and mind engaged. On site there is also a rehabilitation department for those requiring assistance with mobility. They provide three meals a day either in the dining room or in your unit. They are also sensitive to special dietary needs. Weekly house keeping and linen change is one of the benefits of this facility. Maintenance goes out of their way to help with projects that you need to do. The front desk staff accounts for everyone everyday twice a day. There is transportation to doctors appointments during the week and to church on Sundays.
