Recent reviews of Memory Care in South Yarmouth, MA
Harbor Point at Centerville
4.7

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.

Keystone Place at Buzzards Bay
4.8

Keystone Place is a beautiful facility with friendly, caring and knowledgeable staff. The memory care unit is clean and bright with wide hallways and lovely seating areas. The food is consistently delicious. There are plenty of activities for the independent residents, but there is not always much going on in memory care - this is really my only complaint. My mother is taken out of the memory care unit often for appropriate activities and gets to interact with the independent and assisted care residents (a big plus!). The administration and nursing personnel are extremely responsive and helpful. They have all made my mother's experience as pleasant as possible.

Royal at Harwich Village
5.0

I cannot express enough how amazing our experience has been with the Royal at Harwich Village. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and so caring. When we went for our first visit , we were very impressed with the facilities and all the activities they have available for the residents. We met with [Removed], RN, Executive Director, and she was so compassionate and understanding regarding what a difficult thing it can be to place a parent in assisted living. The food is wonderful , and the apartment my mother has is lovely. They are so kind and generous with their patience, and on night one, my mother said she loved it there. I could not be more pleased!
