Response from The Branches of Framingham
April 24, 2024Hello Jon, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are so glad to hear about your experience with our community. Our dedicated associates take great pride in providing the very best experience possible and your compliments are a highlight for our team. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for choosing The Branches of Framingham!
Overall the value is good and all of our likes about the community follows the higher scores like cleanliness ad friendliness. What we also really like is the have a nice family room for family gatherings where they have a reasonable menu the family can order from. It makes it really nice when we can bring family to visit our loved one. The staffing is the biggest day to day challenge that everyone in this industry is facing, and at times it can be very apparent here. Sometimes the staff they bring in to help could be trained a little more but they just don't have the time to train. However we do believe the director and her staff are trying very hard to resolve the staffing issue. The staff there are very nice and really work very hard. We would certainly recommend this community to other families.

June 8, 2023Hello Bob, Thank you so much for the wonderful review. We are so glad to hear about your experience with our community. Our dedicated associates take great pride in providing the very best experience possible and your compliments are a highlight for our team. Thank you for sharing, and thank you for choosing The Branches of Framingham!
My wife, [name removed], and I searched the Metrowest area for a place for her mother, [name removed]. She had been living alone and we knew she needed better care. Our visit to Branches showed us a place we thought was right for her. [name removed] moved in at the beginning of November and the past four months have shown that this is the right place for her. All facets of Branches are positive and supportive. The front desk staff is friendly and welcoming. The dining staff has gotten [name removed] to eat breakfast, a meal she had bragged about “not caring for”. The PT program has improved her mobility. Thus overall positive attitude and action have helped [name removed] a great deal! The residents have reached out to her and she has some people she enjoys as dining friends. This is a great improvement for [name removed] as she had been reluctant to do it, in the past. [name removed] and I couldn’t be more pleased with [name removed] adjustment and improved sense of self. We feel we made the right choice and have recommended Branches to others!!

They were very friendly. They were charging more for the food but were not feeding my loved one. My impression was that things were different. Nobody seemed to care, about my loved one, and they did not allow her to go to the bathroom as often. They were in constant confusion about the medication. There was a turnover in staff. The place was in disarray. I felt deceived and was not getting what I was paying for. The aides were not really trained with working on memory care issues.

February 6, 2023We are sorry you did not have a positive experience at our community. We take feedback very seriously and have forwarded this to leadership.
The Branches is a very nice, exceptionally clean place. The staff are wonderful and take great care of residents and keep them engaged in various activities. And my mom seems to really enjoy it there. Our family is very pleased with The Branches, and we are thankful we found such a nice place for her to live.

The community here is warm and welcoming (both staff and residents). My widowed mom has made many friends and is engaged throughout the day in meaningful activities. Everything is very clean and comfortable and is designed with a homey atmosphere. The food isn't always the best but they always have some basic options and there's always something you can count on (there are basic items always available, as is typical for these senior livings). The staff works very hard. It was a very good choice for us and hopefully she has many years ahead here. We don't use care services so I can't comment on that but the staff seems to work hard.

The facility is very clean, modern and new. The staff is extremely friendly and organized. The atmosphere is very fun and they have a lot of social activities for the residents to participate in. We are very happy with our choice and would highly recommend The Branches of Framingham.

There was a lot of turnover of staff and a lot from agencies. The first activities director they had was WONDERFUL but then the others did not stay very long. They had some really really good staff - but they just could not keep them which was disappointing and caused a lack of care. He did not get what he needed. The facility itself is very attractive and has a wonderful layout for memory care - his room was lovely and had a lot of natural light.

The care my loved one is receiving has been fine. The only thing I have an issue with is cross communication. They recently had a Covid outbreak and I didn't receive an email. Thankfully my dad wasn't effected and didn't test positive; but it's still surprising that being in a facility, you'd think that they would notify everyone. My dad does compliment the food and he doesn't participate in many activities. He mainly takes part in the happy hour socials, but from what I've seen they have a variety of things to offer their residents. The Branches at Framingham has a good value for the cost. Compared to some of the others I've looked at, they were a bit pricier, but still a decent value. Overall it's been a great experience in the sense that my dad is extremely resistant and they've been patient with him. He's still a bit resistant with care, but I've been trying to remain hands off and allow them to work with him. He has dementia, but is still pretty independent and is living on the assisted side. They've been doing a good job of dealing with him. My dad refers to it as, "The very nice place". When I ask him what he doesn't like about it, he can't pinpoint anything - other than its not his house!

They try to sell you on a private nurse and then keep extending it and that is the biggest issue that I had with them. We have had a few other minor issues. It is a good facility but they are short staffed so a lot of the burden goes on the family, things that we thought they would be taking care of.

Good community with friendly staff.
This is an extremely social community and very friendly. We really appreciate how much the staff members engage with the residents and keep them active. They have a ton of activities - physical and mental activities. Everyone eats together in the dining hall which is a great way for the residents to get to know one another.
I looked into a lot of different facilities and we had a very positive experience with our tour here, it looked like a great place. Unfortunately they were unable to care for my loved ones type of needs.
This community is very friendly and they are low on staff at the time. They have activities like bingo, flower arrangements, religious services, wine gatherings and more for the residents to do to stay busy.

My mother and I visited the Branches 3 times. I was more than taken with the decor (modern, brightly lit and comfortable) the staff-[name removed]and the nurses and chef we met, the food, the garden and the considered way it was planned. I loved that they would encourage people to participate in group activities and try to find worthwhile work for them (for mom it might have been ESL tutoring and gardening) but if people didn’t feel like socializing, they would bring their food to them at no charge and with no questions. She is in a larger, less lively place, but I wish she was there…

We chose The Branches because of how clean it was, everyone seemed to be happy, and I was just happy from the minute we walked in. They offer private and shared rooms, he is in a private and it fits him well. I would for sure recommend to others.

The meals and dining service at The Branches have been phenomenal, and the activities are starting to ramp back up. As the number of staff is increasing, everything else is increasing and improving. They offer a wide variety of activities. We would recommend this community depending on the diagnosis. It is a very nice and clean facility, the staff members have been nothing but exceptional.
