Welcoming Anchor Bay

Such a difference after Capitol Ridge which was not a good match. This does not feel like a hospital and the function rooms are more modest. The grounds are beautiful. Plus the price, although still almost beyond my means, is more reasonable. Not as top heavy with managers. I do wish the meal times were different. 8. 12 and 5:30. And coffee for self service near lobby should return. I will ask that the piano in memory care be tuned. I would play it if it were and wouldn't mind an audience. Music is so important to memory care. The main lobby piano is fine but very public.

Our Review of Anchor Bay at Pocasset

So happy we chose Anchor Bay! My mother is receiving excellent care and has tons of friends! We found this facility to be reasonably priced compared to others in the area we toured. A great experience from the minute we first came in a few months ago. Definitely worth coming in for a tour!

Anchor Bay

We are having such a smooth transition of moving my father into Anchor Bay. Both [name removed] and [name removed] have been so helpful. The apartment is great. My dad has made new friends and all have followed up and answered questions. Everyone is so friendly. Also the location is great.

Our Experience of Anchor Bay

This is a wonderful facility! The staff tries very hard to work with all of the residents and make sure they are happy. It's bright and warm from the minute you walk in. I would recommend this facility to any family in need of placement for a loved one

Our family's experience

The nursing staff is very focused on the residents, and accommodating of the different personalities. The activity staff does a nice job involving the residents, though the types of activities seem limited. The food options are also limited, and not very high-quality. The directorial staff is not helpful or upfront with the families once they are receiving the monthly costs. They seem to be all about making a profit. I want families to know that if they have conversations about the directorial or sales staff agreeing to something they would do for the resident in the future, that the family get the promise in writing. For the past year, we were just taking Anchor Bay's word that they would "work with us". We definitely should have had had them put a pen-to-paper of their promise.

My visit Experience

I stopped by Anchor Bay at Pocasset for some information and enjoyed the visit. The staff was knowledgeable, kind, and welcoming. The people there looked happy and were having lunch at the time. I will choose Anchor Bay when my family is ready for the move.

Anchor Bay Review

The alleged existence of a residents' band which exists but the leader didn't allow my brother to participate apparently because he didn't want to risk being upstaged. Not a great reason but that influenced my brother's decision.

Review for Anchor Bay at Pocasset

Anchor Bay at Pocasset had the three levels of senior living - independent, assisted, and memory care. The nursing director, Connie, was instrumental in deciding where my aunt needed to be. My aunt is able to have a single unit, with her own bathroom. She enjoys going to the dining room for meals or the lounge for activities, but is able to have her own time in her room, surrounded by her special things.

Overall a Good Place

The experience has been good for my loved ones and family, overall. The community seems to be understaffed and this is the reason for my rating of a 3. My loved ones have experienced a lot of delays in getting requests resolved that they have spoken to the community about.
