They have been great. It is a smaller facility so it feels much homier. The staff seems to be very in tune with all of the residents there. They get really personalized care, we really could not be happier. I looked at 4 different places and this one was by far the best and the least the expensive. It has been the perfect fit and I would highly recommend Ocean Meadow to other families looking.
Overall, it's been a great experience. My dad seems to be very happy there. The most appealing part is the being in a New England home feel. Not a nursing home environment. Dad is just on a vacation!
The Elms Retirement Residence is a beautiful place and my mom is so happy there! The facility is a beautiful and the staff is excellent.
