Whaler's Cove in New Bedford, MA
4.8

Thanks to the Whaler's Cove staff to making the decision to join their community an easy one. From day 1, my Dad was welcomed and had everything done to make his transition as simple as possible. They did everything to make him feel right at home...it was like getting a brand new family! I could not have done everything without them! Thank you for being the angels taking care and watching my Dad during the times I can't be with him. Thank you again!

Creamery Brook Village in Brooklyn, CT
5.0

My Dad just loves living at Creamery Brook Village!! Everyone is so nice and helpful. There are so many activities to keep him busy if he wants to participate. He loves the food, the Chefs and staff go out of their way to make sure he is happy and satisfied. His apartment is perfect for him and set up just right for his needs. It is great that they let me bring the dogs to visit. That always puts a smile on his face. I would recommend Creamery Brook to anyone looking for the perfect assisted living facility.

Solstice Senior Living at Groton
4.6

I'm speaking as an outsider. Going on my mother's opinion. We chose Solstice because of the cleanliness, friendliness of everyone, and cooking her meals, etc. But rent is very high for being understaffed I think. My sister and I have been helping to pay her rent for about a year. They usually seem short-staffed which leads to delays at mealtimes, affects housekeeping, etc. We moved mom in in Nov 2022 and are still unable to get any assistance through Patriot Angels. They ASSURED me before she moved that it would be no problem. Yet we didn't. My mom is moving this month to the retirement section of Complete Care in Groton and will get assistance through the state to pick up the excess that she is not able to pay. My mom made wonderful friends there and would love to stay, but can't afford it now.
