A place that cares!

My dad was only there for 2 nights and he was in the memory care unit. The room size was perfect for his needs and it was clean. The staff was great with him especially when it came to showering/bathing him. The food seemed fine but he didn't really eat much as he rapidly declined. He also didn't participate in any activities. A Place for Mom was so good to me when I was learning about new living arrangements for my dad.

Fantastic experience with the help from "a place for mom".

They are very attentive to both the patient and the family. We have found nothing negative to say. We are very happy and my mother is setting in nicely. She is on the memory unit there and I must say they keep them very busy with activities all day to keep them engaged.

Review for The Arbors at Stoneham

There is always an ebb and flow to these facilities. Sometimes they are fantastic and other times lacking in general. What stands out most is the personal care my mother gets from staff. I would recommend the Arbors

Highly recommended

The staff was wonderful. Unfortunately my dad was only there for 3 days. The rooms were clean and the food looked good. It was close by my families' homes which was a plus.
