The staff at Shrewsbury Crossings are wonderful. They are always smiling and greet not only residents but family as well. Everyone is willing to help my mom out when needed. Even the little guy in the kitchen! I would absolutely recommend them and have already! Mom sits in with sales director to greet and answer questions that interested people ask.

A place Mom could call Home.

The staff always had smiles and was always willing to lend a hand. The facility is well maintained and kept clean. A place that we were happy to have our Mom living in. The activity leader was very engaging. Frequently getting the residents to engage. I frequently heard how happy my Mom was when she was willing and able to participate.

We appreciated very much the helpfulness of staff at all levels, and appreciated the quality of care. I marked quality down to 4 because of shortage of staff, but this is a common problem of all places. We were Very happy with our loved one's experience there at The Branches of Marlborough.

Would recommend!

The facility itself is fairly old so climate control can be an issue at times. The food in dining room is fair but not great. Service can be difficult as they are only allowed 2 servers. Space is limited and often times seating can take some time. That said, they are making adjustments to allow for more seating. I find the activities are a bit lacking but perhaps that has to do with the clientele ie memory compromised. I feel that the deficits of the facilities age are reflected in the price. Overall it is a lovely safe place. Mom gets what she needs and the staff is very friendly and cares about the residents. She has adjusted well and is very happy there. I would recommend it.

Review for Arbors of Bedford

I recommend your care homes to everyone I know facing the same issue. From the moment my dad entered Arbors, we as a family could breathe. My dad was at peace, no longer afraid of the children he didn't recognize. Each of us spent lovely hours with my dad outside in the gardens while he talked about his dreams for the future when he was discharged from the army. We got to know him as a bright eyed 19 year old. The Arbors gave us that.

Deeply Grateful

The dementia unit staff were highly skilled and kind. The facility included an outdoor garden that was open most of the time that my aunt loved. It means so much to me that during the last four months of her life, my aunt was able to sit outside in the sunshine, touch the flowers and vegetables growing in the garden, and be surrounded by caring people. Waltham Crossings was also very accommodating during the period of several weeks up to my aunts' death and supported our family during that difficult time. As my aunt's needs changed, Waltham crossings was very flexible about changing the services she received. I am deeply grateful to the staff and leadership.

It all begins with [name removed] who helped us in all ways to choose and get settled in Evans Park. There was never an institutional feel. Warm friendly personal concern was the prevailing experience. This provided a platform for my Bro to assimilate into the community on day one. Great stuff. Phenomenal attitude and service.
