Manor on the Hill in Leominster, MA
5.0

Friendliness of staff is off the charts. Very welcoming. Very caring. Lots of activities every day. The staff smiles and is happy to help with any task.

My father is on the memory care unit: The staff is very willing to talk and listen to families. The activities staff try's hard to keep those who are able, active and involved in activities throughout the day. If a resident needs to rest or take a nap, they understand. The staff is well trained in working with dementia residents and know how to redirect and calm a situation if need be without embarrassing the resident. I feel my father is safe and well cared for. My only issue has been communicating to my siblings and I when he needs more supplies; or clothing, in his case, has become too small. Luckily one of us is usually there at least once a month, as we all live out of state.

It's a great experience. We picked this community, because of the good reputation and they are nice to deal with. It was close to me, and my daughter. I would recommend to others.
