The facility is very nice, warm and welcoming. The staff are all really caring from the receptionists, dining staff, activity coordinators and care staff. Go out of their way to be warm and friendly. There are lots of daily activities along with a happy hour at 3 everyday. Lots of chances to socialize. The food in dining room is very good and open 7-7 everyday!

A Place for Mom sent me a list of facilities in my desired area. We toured three. All were very good, but Residence at Orchard Grove stood above the rest. The facility itself has an open, modern design, with lots of light and high ceilings in the common spaces. The decor is warm and inviting, and the furnishings welcoming and comfortable. The restaurant served us high quality, carefully prepared dishes. The apartments are well-designed and with large windows. The staff were friendly and attentive, and the residents seemed happy and engaged. We feel relieved to know that our mom is going to be living here. Her quality of life is getting an upgrade! Thank you to A Place for Mom for advising through the process.

Mom has been at The Residence at Orchard Grove for one year. Her experience has gone way beyond my greatest expectation! Mom has made friends and feels very happy in her environment and with the staff and the other residents, who she calls her friends. It is a special place! I highly recommend The Residence.

Overall experience - seamless, enjoyable and continues to provide a level of calmness and gives a sense of security for my sister and I. Cleanliness - exceptionally spotless! Probably antiseptic too!! Friendliness of Staff - beyond kind, caring and considerate from chefs, maintenance, healthcare workers and front-desk staff. Management responsive and professional as well. Quality of Care - wonderful. My sister and I have complete trust with the clinical and non-clinical staff. Everyone at this facility has deep concern for the welfare of our elderly. Meals & Dining - my mother enjoys cooking for herself in her unit. However, the meals she has had and continues to have, on occasion, are healthy, top-notch cuisine and all served with the best kitchen staff and chefs in Massachusetts! I give this crew a 6!! (A 5, but wanted to state how much my mom loves team.) My mother prefers to not participate in most activities. The ones she does do, on occasion, she's excited about and Orchard Grove goes all out to make these activities special and fun for residents and their families. Value for Cost - I don't mind my mom's rent amount since she is safe, happy, her little unit is adorable and cozy

I am overall happy with the facility and care my parents are receiving. A bit overpriced though since they raised rates again this year. My parents have been there for a few years. One thing I don't like is that they wait to turn on the a/c as a newer facility I don't know why it would have to be that way since each unit has a thermostat in it. If there is a hot streak before they turn it on it could get very hot in their apartment. And same with heat.

The journey to place someone is very complicated and stressful but the staff made it very easy and no stressful. Everyone was very helpful. They not only are concerned about the resident but the family too. They gave support for family members as well because it is a journey for the family as well as the resident.

I can’t say enough about this place. They have been absolutely wonderful. We flew my parents up from Florida last week and there were some medical issues with my father and we all have been treated with so much respect and care from everyone here. Everyone went over and above for the care of my parents. I would highly recommend this place for a loved one.

This was a very difficult transition for my mother and I and I have been more than pleased. Better than I imagined. The staff has been so very nice and patient and along the way, I’ve been able to reach out with any questions. They have been sympathetic to our situation and listen to concerns and made us feel comfortable. They offer many things to do and no pressure if you choose to do your own thing. They allow you to treat this like your home and it’s a warm environment. They treat everyone with respect and always greet you with a smile. I looked at several places and this was by far my favorite. I trust this was the best decision for us and when I visit, I am thrilled she is in their care.

We were looking for an assisted living place for my friend as well as her dog! No small task. From the beginning of the interview process to the present moment the Residence at Orchard Grove exceeded our expectations! The facility is so beautiful and has so many areas to enjoy. The entire staff and the residents as well, are so friendly. The staff continually bend over backwards to address any needs as they arise. The numerous activities keep my friend entertained and social. Did I mention they have 4 star chefs? They have a memory unit as well -so when the time comes, the transfer process will not upset her. We made a perfect decision when choosing her new home!

I have several friends whose family lives at the community. These are ppeople that I grew up with and spent years with while growing up Everytime I visit they are busy with something wonderful. They have daily happy hours and so much going on. The food is exellent.... It is fresh, creative and so many choices.

Everyone is happy and people that work there you can tell genuinely love there job.Everyone is friendly. It truly is a special place and I am so glad that they are living such a great life in their senior years.

My Mom lived in the NYC area all her life, but after a fall and a stay in a rehab facility, we decided to move her up to Massachusetts to be close to family here. After visiting several communities we settled on Orchard Grove in Shrewsbury, and we could not be happier with how things have gone in my Mom's first month. The Residence is lovely, clean, warm and welcoming. The staff are consistently friendly, supportive and accommodating. There are always activities to choose from (My Mom has especially loved the crafts and exercise options), and the food is truly exceptional! Her room is spacious and comfortable, and we were provided with temporary furnishings and a tv until we could shop for permanent items, which was so helpful. My Mom has made friends, is eating a much healthier and varied diet now, is getting the timely and caring assistance she needs, and has grown comfortable way sooner than we ever expected. We highly recommend it to anyone seeking a home for a loved one.
