Recent reviews for assisted living in South Charlton

Brigham House in Watertown, MA

5.0
Watertown is our home town, [name removed] is able to go shopping and take a walk in familiar surroundings. Biggest plus is when her money runs out, they will keep her and she gets a small amount of her social security.

The Atrium at Rocky Hill

My dad liked being at the atrium. I thought he would have received better health care, but I guess that's not what they do. My dad contracted shingles on his face, and it took a while to be treated correctly. Overall, it was a much better place than the nursing home he is in now.
