Tribute at Melford

Our experience has been very disappointing. Paying more does not necessarily mean receiving better care or better service. In our experience, the community has been understaffed and disorganized. The biggest concern has been the memory care unit. Residents seem to have far fewer choices than those in assisted living. The food quality is poor, portions are small, and residents are not offered the same beverages or desserts that are available in assisted living. While the memory care staff themselves have been compa

Our families experience

Cleanliness of the facility 5 for common areas. 4 for rooms. Friendliness depends! Front desk 5. I think the facility is very nice and the activities they do and the energy on the first floor is fantastic. I think for patients that need a little more care it's very hit and miss depending on who the aide is that day.

Don't hesitate to visit Tribute

Everything has been fairly easy regarding move in. Once in a while there's a miscommunication but they are professional. I definitely would recommend Tribute to others. The facility is clean, has a good vibe and the staff are great with the residents.

Mixed Experience--Caring Staff, but Memory Care Needs Improvement

From my observations, the assisted living residents have a completely different experience from the memory care residents. It's obvious why that may be the case. However, I would ask very specific questions about the quality of food for memory care patients. I know that families will not get a truthful response but show up for lunch and dinner when it's not part of the tour. I will add that I would suggest looking at facilities that allow cameras in the room.
