Review for Chester Street Residence

I would not recommend Chestnut Street. The nursing care was sketchy and it was difficult to get a straight answer on the meds. The facility itself was fine, but smelled. The food was terrible.

Response from Chester Street Residence

July 31, 2024

We appreciate all feedback and am very sorry that you would feel this way about our Community. I believe I know who this may be and if so, their loved one was not here long, evidenced by the fact they got our name wrong. The Resident was very happy and made great strides while with us but it appears we were not able to make their family happy. We put so much effort into being the opposite of this review. We encourage anyone reading this to look at our other reviews as well. Again, we strive for 100% satisfaction with everyone and am sorry you would not feel good about our Community.

Very disappointing

I would rather not say anything other than that I am very disappointed. I expect loving care and treatment, particularly for patients who are suffering mental stress. Trained specialists are required for such patients.

My mom is receiving excellent care and is making progress with gaining her ability to walk. Her heel sore is getting much better and both the nurse and pt are managing my mom's progress. She is getting care she could not have found in any rehab center and our family is grateful

tour review

Our family had an in person tour and Chester Street seemed like a really nice community, but if you want to throw your money away, come here. The gentlemen we had the tour with seemed very dishonest and shady.

Response from Chester Street Residence

February 8, 2022

I appreciate that the reviewer thought Chester Street appeared to be a nice community. However, I regret that he found me to appear dishonest or untrustworthy. I have been doing this, as the owner, for ten years and am proud of the reputations we have earned. We do things differently than most communities. Everything is included in a fixed price: private room with full bathroom, all meals and full care through the end of life. We guarantee no extra charges and no increase in cost. Possible the reviewer didn't feel that I was sincere and honest about our policy. We have maintained this policy since our first day in business. We have had residents stay as long as 8 years and have provided everything that we promise. Our many reviews and resident family comments represent our commitment to our policies and care. We want everyone who comes through out Community to have a positive experience. If interested, I would be happy to talk more and help them feel better about Chester Street, our policies, our commitments and our entire team.

It lives up to what people believe a living situation should be for your loved ones that require help with their needs.

Chester Street Residences would be 10 stars, because the care givers there are truly amazing. The cleanliness, their friendliness and willingness to tend to all the residents needs is just incredible, we are over the top pleased. Our loved one is so happy there which is the most important thing. They are absolutely capable of providing any and all different types of care for the residents no matter their level of care.

Beautiful facility, but beware.

Most of the care my loved one received was through hospice. So we didn't have much of an opportunity to interact with the residents. But the ones we did meet were very sweet. The facility was very clean. They were very good about that. But the food was horrible. And they just dropped the tray on the bedside table and walked away even though she couldn't even reach it or feed herself. I would suggest to anyone thinking about Chester Street, or any senior living facility, to read the fine print. There was a paragraph in the contract that said you must give 30 days notice to vacate. So when someone dies, you still have to give the 30 days notice and will be charged for the additional month, even if they're no longer living there. My loved one died alone because no one called me. It was a terrible situation. The director met me in her room the next morning to let me know how much I owed them. It's a bitter pill that I'm still trying to swallow. They also bad-mouthed the hospice care we brought in and pressured us to use the company that Chester Street recommended. So we had to deal with that transition as well during an already difficult time.

Response from Chester Street Residence

September 23, 2021

We are very sorry that the family didn’t feel better about their experience. We work hard to provide good loving care to all our residents. Hospice provides an aid twice per week and a nurse once per week. We provide care all day every day and try to make our residents comfortable and happy regardless of condition. We have had the same chef since we opened almost 10 years ago and most of our residents really enjoy the food and the dining experience. As the owner, I wish we could have had more interaction with the family to help solve any issues. It is very hard to know when the end of life will arrive. Our families are able to be in our community and visit their loved ones 24 hours a day every day. Our mission is to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY to help our residents and their family have the best experience possible.

My tour review

When touring this facility we felt that this was very overpriced for what we expected. The memory care unit was not what we expected and the residents were roaming around on their own. I did not see the one on one care that I needed for my loved one.

Response from Chester Street Residence

September 10, 2021

It is sometimes difficult to convey how much love and caring is involved in taking care of our residents and helping them feel at home in our Community. Residents moving around the community, in a safe environment, and feeling comfortable throughout the day is very important. As indicated in our mission, we try to do EVERYTHING POSSIBLE, ALL DAY, EVERY DAY to make the lives of our Residents and nice as possible. A short tour is not always the easiest way to convey this to potential family members. If there is anything further we can do to help you understand our care and community environment, we are always available to discuss those issues. Thank you for coming by our Community.

This facility was nice but it seemed small and there was not a lot offered. Could only look at the model room when I toured and I wanted to see more like the dining and activity rooms

Response from Chester Street Residence

September 1, 2021

We appreciate your feedback about your tour. I am not sure when your tour occurred. We have gone from limited to tours to doing full Community tours as we have navigated the pandemic. Currently, fully vaccinated people can tour our entire Community including the model, specific rooms, the dining room, the upstairs lounge, the cafe, the beauty salon, physical therapy room and outdoor patio. Again, we appreciate your comments and please know we are doing full Community tours for fully vaccinated people.

Our family has an in person tour and the community seemed really nice, but unfortunately our care insurance would not be accepted at the community because they were not licensed.

Highly recommend

We chose Chester Street Residence because it seemed more like a family operation which I liked and got a much better vibe. It is a smaller facility and seemed to be a lot more care when I was talking to them. The grounds were very nice and well kept and the location was great. She did not participate in the activities but I got emails with the activities calendar and I know they were available and they communicated them well. They communicated well about everything and they put me at ease. I would absolutely recommend to others looking.
