Jim P's terrific review says it all. Orchid Cove is better than great in just about every way! Had a nice lunch there today with mom. Perfectly grilled Rueban with fries for a side. Came out quick and hot. Eaten there many times and it's always good with courteous, attentive service. That being said dining is by invitation only from a resident. Lucky me. Took a nice walk around after lunch really beautiful grounds this time of year.

I couldn't disagree more with the other review (dated 5/27/20) of Orchard Cove on Yelp. My aunt has…read morelived there for several years, I have visited many times, and I have NEVER seen any evidence of vermin, broken things, etc. Both the facilities and my aunt's apartment are in pristine shape every time I've visited; any problems with apartments are fixed promptly, and the staff takes great care in keeping everything not only in top-notch shape, but well decorated and pleasant. It's not perfect - no place is - but the relatively small problems at OC do not in any way overshadow the friendly and helpful staff, good food, interesting and useful programs (including performances, art classes, book club, talks on various topics, etc.). I looked at numerous elder communities with my aunt before she moved here, and you will not find anything better (although you will find others that are also excellent - the final choice is determined by location, cost, environment, and personal preference). I would not at all hesitate at all to choose OC for an elder community!

We worked with Mike to sell our home and also to purchase a new home on the south shore. We really…read morecan't recommend him enough! He is a great guy and a straight shooter and provides you with the information and suggestions you need to get through this process. We looked at a number of houses with Mike and he was able to identify things about the homes that we never would have noticed or even considered. There were several times where we may have gotten a little too excited about a house, despite some obvious setbacks, and Mike was right there keeping our best interests in the forefront. The idea of selling our house and finding a new one, with two kids, was a daunting task however, Mike really let us do it on our own schedule and was supportive and responsive any time we called on him. He was there every step of the way for us. He always answered every text, call, or email no matter what time of day or night it was. His professionalism, knowledge, honesty, and hard work are evident and very appreciated. We truly never felt that he was just trying to sell me a house or close the deal, but rather that he really wanted to find us our forever home. He was always available to answer our questions and help me to make the best decision for our family. He truly works hard for his clients and has his clients best interests at heart. We were extremely happy with our choice to work with Mike!

High energy, good listener, great knowledge and outstanding problem solver. Based on his analysis and expertise, we priced our property exactly where it should have been, and ultimately received 3 bids over asking price. Other realtors pricing strategy would not have yielded the same results. Like all sales, open houses, inspections, and closings, there were a few hiccups. Mike presented options for solutions rapidly, to achieve the goals we were going after. Beyond all of that, his honesty and accessibility was second to none. He answered every call/text within minutes. My family and I always had confidence that he had our best interest in mind. He was not afraid to put in the work at anytime during the process. Between hanging fire alarms, calling the water department and driving 45 minutes away to save me time, he was always willing to go beyond the extra mile. Mike also had recommendations for numerous vendors, that all worked out very well. I honestly could not recommend Mike enough. I would work with him again in a heartbeat!

My mother was in this facility, and I visited my mom every weekend. She had Alzheimer's. One day,…read morePam, the social worker, called me at work at 4pm. Apparently, my mom had been raging all morning and afternoon. Rather than call me when the raging started, she had her sent to Saint Elizabeth's psych ward and started using the term FTD to describe her condition. She said she had never seen such violent behavior. (My mom was 5'2" tall and about 105 pounds, mind you.) Since I worked for the Alzheimer's Association at the time (which is probably the real reason my mom was sent out, as I was fully aware that this facility did not have the required activities programming to market itself as having an Alzheimer's unit but did so anyway), I called contacts at McLean and had her transferred there. Her doctor there said my mom had no business being in a psych ward. She had Alzheimer's type dementia, and her behaviors were relatively common. I had her transferred to Newton Wellesley Alzheimer's Center, and the staff there cared for her lovingly and with tremendous empathy and kindness until she passed away yesterday. I'm writing this review now because I don't want any family to have to suffer through what we went through. If you are absent and don't really care about your loved one with dementia, then choose Golden Living Center in Dedham. However, if you love your mom or dad and plan on visiting regularly, then place your parent somewhere else. You will sleep better, trust me.
