Types of care available in Framingham, MA
Our experience with this community was good, overall it is kept pretty clean. The care services are pretty reliable, the activities were however a little bit weaker. The food at this community was very good, and we really liked the responsiveness of the staff and the availability the memory care unit had
My mom was here for only 7 months in the long term unit. She had some dementia and came from assistant living for 5 years. She never thought of it as a nursing home. She still thought she was in assistant living.. To the family, that is the biggest compliment a nursing home can receive.. I would recommend Serenity Hill to others..thank you for being there for mom, especially during this time. She loved you all..
As I expected; pleasant. Food needs to improve; there are more people with memory problems than I expected.We picked this community because of the location, ambiance, and the fact that rooms are live in place.
