Putnam Farm at Danvers
4.9

Staff is really nice. They look out for my mother. Like if she misses a meal, they check in on her. Oh the appt transportation is a pain. It's only available 2 days a week half day. Have to get approval ahead of time. And the they drive you but do not assist into building. When it's a large medical bldg this is difficult for someone in a wheelchair.

Partridge House in Hampton, NH
5.0

The staff loves what they do and it shows!!!! The facility is very homey and sets a relaxed atmosphere. I highly recommend. My siblings were all very impressed with the facility and mom's care as well. My Mom passed in July and I was so happy she spent her last months here.

Heatherwood in Tewksbury, MA

The welcome committee as well as the management make sure to get to know each new resident, and checks on his/her well-being regularly. All the staff are super-friendly and tries hard to accommodate each person's needs. New kinds of activities would be nice for those who don't want to attend movies or chapel each day.
