Royal at Harwich Village
5.0

I cannot express enough how amazing our experience has been with the Royal at Harwich Village. The staff is wonderful, friendly, and so caring. When we went for our first visit , we were very impressed with the facilities and all the activities they have available for the residents. We met with [Removed], RN, Executive Director, and she was so compassionate and understanding regarding what a difficult thing it can be to place a parent in assisted living. The food is wonderful , and the apartment my mother has is lovely. They are so kind and generous with their patience, and on night one, my mother said she loved it there. I could not be more pleased!

Mill Hill Residence in West Yarmouth, MA
4.4

They need to do a better job of accommodating family members in the dining room on holidays such as Thanksgiving. Spots for family members are too few and get taken too quickly. Visiting family members should be entitled to a few meals each year in the dining room with their loved one, without charge. At [fee removed] per month (in 2023), it is very insulting to be informed that a visiting (it happened to me) family member has to pay for a hot dog at lunch (not kidding). The building is outstanding/uplifting.

Brookdale Cape Cod in Hyannis, MA
4.6

What we like the most about the Brookdale Cape Cod is the staff team, they are amazing, and the community place is kept very clean. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would absolutely recommend this community to other families looking for a place for their loved ones.

Nursing Homes

A nursing home community provides room and board to at least two individuals who are not related by blood or by marriage to the administrator. A nursing home community offers its inhabitants 24-hour care administered by on-site nurses. These caregivers offer healthcare services for those who are unable to care for themselves.

Nursing homes can be a helpful and comfortable living choice for persons 65 years or older, however nursing homes will routinely admit persons 55 and older rarely heard of in senior care regarding alternate care types. As a resident of a nursing home, you can expect the right to spend time with visitors, exercise your rights as a U.S. citizen, make complaints, and get proper medical care. A significant amount of inhabitants tend to be single women with circles of support, and almost half of nursing home residents are older than the age of 85. Nursing homes are required to provide nursing and related services, medically-related social services, routine personal hygiene items, and a professionallly directed program of activities to residents. Types of amenities and services offered at nursing homes might include injections, home care (like cooking, cleaning, or help with other daily activities), wound care for pressure sores or a surgical wound, and friendly visitor programs.
