Standish Village

They have been great to us, and I highly recommend Standish. Our friends are joking that we need to reserve a wing for the near future! The rooms I experienced are bright and quite large. Staff, from roomside, dining room, and management were extremely friendly and accommodating. My husband had to move from Assisted Living to Memory Care, and his room and staff were equally inviting. I visit every day, so I definitely trust my observation.

I am grateful to all the hardworking folks at Standish Village who have created such a wonderful community right in Lower Mills. My mother moved into the assisted living side about 5 weeks ago. Her quality of life has improved dramatically since then. I feel so comforted and relieved knowing that my mother is not only safe and comfortable, but thriving and enjoying every single day. My mother keeps calling to share all of the fun experiences she is having and new people she is meeting. At this point, I have met and interacted with quite a few Standish Village employees during my visits to see my mother. Every single person has been kind and welcoming. It is clear Standish Village values all of its employees, which is reflected in how supportive and fun the atmosphere is for the residents. The location in Lower Mills is also a major feature with its nice shops and restaurants, and great options for outdoor walks. We are lucky to have this great place so closeby!

Very disappointed in Standish Village. My brother did not stay. The meals were good but that is all. The sales team should be more open and forthcoming about the things they will do and what they will not do. I would say to choose another place. We chose it because I thought it would be a great place for my brother.

What our family likes the most about the Standish Village is the staff members. The staff members are caring and very easy to work with and the meals that are served are good, but we do with there were lactose options - that would be appreciated. Based on our experience so far, we would recommend this community to others.

We chose this facility mainly because when I met with them, I was impressed by the staff and the dining experience as well. The location is also very convenient to where I live so that works out great for me. My mother loves that executive director brings her dog in, it gives it that homey feel. She made friends pretty quickly. Other residents are very welcoming and that was one of my biggest concerns coming into this, it hasn't been an issue at all. The architecture is very unique and the apartment itself is very nice. All of the rooms are unique, she loves having the big windows with the natural light coming in. I would recommend Standish Village to others looking.

My brother was warmly welcomed at Standish Village! While there, he received excellent care! The staff and the residents are among the friendliest people I have ever met! It is an absolutely wonderful community!

The manager [name removed] has just been terrific and one of the nursing staff gals [name removed] has been great. However this community could work on improving the intellectual quality of the activities.

At first we thought my Mom was happy here then as she needed more assistance Aides began taking advantage and [Removed] her. I witnessed first hand three separate Aides giving my elderly her fallen pills from the floor. When two of the Aides were confronting me and when I reported this to top Administration at the location, I was thanked for pointing this out because there is not a written rule to not give pills off the floor! So they have Aides attend a handwashing in service but they need a written rule for not giving pills off the floor?! Absolutely disgusting! At the end of my Mom's stay she said she felt the Aides did not care. Really sad.

Client is very happy. Place is well run and all appear very concerned about residents. I have confidence it was a good decision.

We have had some kind caregivers for our family member over the last few years. The current director [Removed] is very difficult to work with. We have found her to be rigid and at times unprofessional. She has made a very difficult situation so much more stressful and overwhelming. Not a good fit for us.

The administrative staff could improve on their bedside manner. We have had numerous disagreements about the care of my loved one. They seem unprofessional and that it is more about money than the residents. The caregivers that work with my loved one are great. The community is beautiful. They offer a lot of wonderful things. I would move in if I could

I really enjoyed our tour of this community, it went very well. The staff I met was nice and friendly. Our tour guide was kind and informative. She answered my all questions. The community appeared to be well maintained, everything was nice and clean. It was a very nice tour. This is a good community.

I was able to meet with management who gave me a good tour. I was able to see how lovely it looks. It was clean and I did not see anything to complain about. I only noticed that this community is smaller than other places. I would recommend this community.

I toured this community while looking into care options for a loved one. The facility was well kept and clean, and all of the staff I met seemed friendly and professional. However, I don't think this felt quite as "homey" as some others that we toured. We ended up selecting another community, but this is somewhere I would have considered as an option for my loved one.

My parents recently moved to Standish Village which I can say is the very best thing that could have happened. They have a lovely apartment with bright windows that was completely renovated....lovely facility and gardens.However, As wonderful as the apartment is-It is the wonderful staff that welcomed them in and has made them feel as though they have been there a very long time. Their kindness, respect and care is superior from Matt the resident director, Shari director in Memory care services, Roy, Katie, Suzie all the nursing aides....Anthony the chef and ALL we come in contact with. Standish (Shari) recently planned an occasion to celebrate my parents 60 th anniversary and had a ceremony, wedding cake, champagne and all things celebratory to make this a smashing Event and wonderful memory.We have been so touched by this wonderful community and can NOT say enough good about Standish Village. Lots to do, many activities and trips,much support, great location, access to medical care locally,and great communication with family members. My parents feel at Home, truly. Check them out for traditional and memory care excellence. PS. The food is great too!!

I think this may not be the best place for him, it comes down to cost and there aren't a lot of other different options for him. It's near transportation, Lower Mills I think is a fine area, I just think the age population is not right for him, they're much older than he is so I don't know if there's any place where he'll feel comfortable. He does try, they're very friendly and he has connected with some. I think they're caring people there, but he needs help they can't give him. The location is good, it's next door to a place he worked out in every morning, it's right around the corner so that was good for him. I think the biggest thing is fitting in with the other residents. There was some question about whether Standish was following through on the activities they said they were going to do, but I don't live there so I don't know.
