Atria Fairhaven
4.0
Friendly, helpful, go above and beyond to make sure the resident feels like they belong.
Would have gave a 5 but price wise it was a little too much.
Everleigh Cape Cod in Hyannis, MA
5.0
I chose Everleigh Cape Cod because I wanted an apartment that had a lease. They do have a wide variety of apartment sizes to choose from. It is a newer facility so it will be nice when more residents are moved in here. I would recommend to others looking.
Stafford Hill in Plymouth, MA
4.1
They are very friendly, welcoming and have several activities.
The biggest problem is staffing turnover.
My Mother in law says the lunches are fantastic but the dinner is complete opposite and she does not like it at all.
Overall is a very nice place for her.
