I give every category a 5. My total experience has been happy, and I have no complaints. I would absolutely recommend Sweetwood of Williamstown to other families based on the experience I have had so far.
Devonshire has a very welcoming atmosphere. The staff are all very welcoming and friendly. The food is good and you get good serving size portions. I had fun participating in the activities while I was there.
We are very happy with Wingate. The staff members make a point of knowing everyone's name immediately on arrival, which is really comforting. The activities are great, varied and interesting. The meals are good but could use a bit of an update. Fresh vegetables and grains for example. It's been a very positive experience and my mother is happy.
