Good care in a beautiful setting.

My father has been there a year now. I've joined him for meals, especially in the beginning when there were lots of last minute or unexpected medical appointments and can say the food is delicious. The wait staff are nice, and helpful. The health and wellness directors have been very helpful. It was very bumpy for the first few months with my father's unplanned prolonged medical needs. They were very patient, even helped us avoid one of the many trips to the ER with their extended help in that moment. The grounds a beautiful. My father's window overlooks the walking path and he enjoys watching people and their animals walking by. Now that he's more stable, he enjoys taking walks outside around the building and loves to overlook the grounds of the open park area. This was part of the reason we liked this facility as our family has always enjoyed being outdoors in nature. Of course care is most important. This facility was the only one we toured that gave him the chance to be in assisted living rather than memory care when having to abruptly find a facility for my father. The sales manager was super helpful and loaded with extra information and tips as we navigated through a very unknown and stressful time. We are so grateful for their willingness and patience to give him the time and chance he needed. The billing has always been accurate and very straight forward, clear and easy to understand. The only drawback I've found is that the aids are abrupt in their visits for my father's medication management. Most are polite, but don't offer much conversation. I realize they have others to attend to, aren't there for a social visit, and have to be brief, but just a little more warmth or interaction would go a long way. My father needs just a minute to wrap his head around things sometimes, especially when new or for something out of routine. Although my father doesn't take part in many activities up in the activity room, he does thoroughly enjoy the entertainment they provide on occasion in the lobby area. He also is finally enjoying the gatherings in the country kitchen, although I wish that gathering area was designed a little bigger. He shied away at first because folks have to spill out into the hallway and he doesn't like walking in to the center of attention.

Review for Brookdale Cushing Park

I looked at a lot of communities in the Framingham, Natick, Wellesley, Wayland and Newton area. Brookdale remained the number one pick for what our family needed. Brookdale was so understanding & so kind to us. My sister did not end up moving in there because of her health condition, but we had secured & paid for an apt at Brookdale TWICE & had to cancel twice. They were very forgiving & we were refunded in full. They even called every couple weeks to check up on my sister & inquire how she was feeling. They went above & beyond with everything. And my sister loved the apt, when she had toured. They were much nicer than other places we looked at.

our families experience, friendly staff, would recommend

I would give it a five out of five in most all of those categories. Very, very happy and impressed with their place and the cleanliness, friendliness the helpfulness if there's a problem for my mother-in-law, the food is great and she does not participate in the activities, but I see a lot of people when I visit her participating and having a great time. It's a it's a great facility and bit expensive, but probably not on the high end of being expensive.

friendly and helpful staff

Yes, just got out of my mtg. They do a really good job at the care part. When mom balked for a while, [name removed] did a great job of asking when he should call back, and then calmly calling back (or texting) exactly when I'd asked him to. For a reluctant resident, he was great at clearly presenting why Brookdale was a great choice, without high pressure sales tactics. They also followed through with making mom's transition as easy as possible - there's an active welcome committee of residents that pulled her right in. It's still hard of course, but was far easier than we'd expected. Staff has low turnover, and it shows. Overall excellent experience.

our families experience, friendly and caring staff, overall a nice community

My mother is very happy at Brookdale. The director of the memory care unit is fantastic and has a bimonthly support group for the family members. I had an issue with 1 of the staff and the way she treated my Mom, but it was addressed immediately, and improved substantially. Overall I am so glad we chose Brookdale.

This family would definitely recommend Brookdale Cushing of Framingham

The food is actually very tasty and provides a variety. However, my mother has Brittle Diabetes and there's rarely enough options for her to eat without it having a dramatic impact on her glucose levels. She has to eat low low carbs, high protein in her meals. When were touring we asked about this concern and were told that she would be able to share that with the chef and explore other options. Unfortunately, that's not been the case. There are lots of different activities accessible to the residents... including Catholic mass, Irish singers, Country groups, etc. However, as a person of color of Christian faith (and one of just a couple of residents of color in the building), it would be nice to have a more diverse set of activities offered to all residents (i.e. gospel music, diverse movies, artists, Afrocentric crafts, vendors, etc.). It's hard enough feeling like you're "the only" in a community. But at least diversifying things/activities would not only please my mother (and potentially others as well), but it would definitely serve to expose everyone else to potentially something new and interesting. I think that Brookdale could benefit from overall efforts regarding diversity...for EVERYONE's advantage. Differences should be exhibited and encouraged. I appreciate the opportunity to share my thoughts. Thanks so much!

The staff is generally very friendly except for 1 member who is not very patient with my mom. The staff at night don't seem to help much. My mother is at this time can change her clothes by herself, but I don's see them helping her with denture care and sometimes not with her compression stockings. The director of the program is very nice as well as the nurses, most aids, and the activity directors are very kind and patient and caring.

Review for Brookdale Cushing Park

Beautiful and friendly community. Mom has a dog, loves the outdoors and access to the park. It's too bad they stopped the garden club. This was one reason she choose Brookdale Cushing. Also dog friendly and plenty of outdoor area to walk. The garden club stopped a few weeks before she moved in.

Our families experience

I think the staff are exceptionally kind. However, the move in process, with all of the introductions and orientations, etc. is very unreliable and communication is poor around that. I really had to stir things up for quite a while before it became clear to everyone that my father had never gotten a tour, or an introduction aside from what I gave him. It leaves one with the feeling that it is easy to disappear there despite all the talk.

Great location, amazing community and staff, overall good value

The Brookdale Cushing Park is well run and the people do everything they can to help. It's acceptable but they clean every 2 weeks and they don't do a deep clean really. The people there are amazing. They have some limits but are able to care for my father and keep him safe. COVID was awful for the dining. They finally have a later dinner option but it's difficult for me to join him for dinner. Assigned seats is strange as well. Food is meh not bad not great. When it comes to the activities they try to do what they can. I was not thrilled that the rent went up [fee removed] in less than a year and we just got an "oh well" from them but I think that is a lot for one year.

Brookdale is Truly an Active Independent Living Community

The experience has been great. I would recommend this community be on your short list to view. The meals are very good and the food is excellent. I find it inconvenient as dinner is served at 5:15 as the only options. They aren't allowing visitors in the dining room due to the COVID protocols. If a resident wants to eat their food in their room the food must be ordered ahead of time. The staff are professional. The location is very good. We are very happy so far. There are residents that have been in the community for a long time. They are able to accommodate multiple care types, so your resident can go from independent living to assisted living, and then to memory care.

Would recommend

We chose Brookdale Cushing Park because we were moving states to be closer to family and there were certain things we needed in a facility such as it being smoker friendly and pet friendly and we found that here. We are in independent living and have our own little house with a garage. It is 2 a bedroom and 2 bathroom and just the perfect size for what we need. We would recommend Brookdale to others looking.

Accommodating management

We chose Brookdale Cushing Park because it was affordable and my mother had stayed at Brookdale facility in California and the experience was good and she was happy there. They were willing to be flexible with our timing and they even gave us furniture since my mom was moving from out of state. They just made the biggest effort to be accommodating. It is a super nice facility and the management is very understanding and willing to help and truly concerned about the residents. I would recommend them to others looking.
