Laurelwood at The Pinehills in Plymouth, MA
5.0

The staff is very nice. I feel reassured that my loved one is safe, has people to talk to, and things to do. Some of the activities include yoga, movies, games, happy hour, field trips, and more for the residents to choose from. The community has transportation to mass services, and doctor appointments, along with more. My loved one loves the food. The staff have been great to work with if I have questions or concerns.

Friendly, helpful, go above and beyond to make sure the resident feels like they belong. Would have gave a 5 but price wise it was a little too much.
