When he could no longer do activities, the staff was amazing helping him to get around and keeping his spirits up!

It was hard to watch my mother decline in health, but the care she got, as well as us as a family, was so kind, and thorough. Mom was always cleaned, turned and repositioned when we arrived to visit, or she was out talking to patients and staff when she was feeling up to it. The facility is very clean, you always see people washing floors and walls, and never get an odor like some other facilities we have been in.

The facility is…read morebeautiful, the grounds are lovely and well tended and the residents were friendly to a newcomer/short-timer. The food was good, prepared to order using fresh ingredients. There was no assigned seating so the meal seating arrangements shifted each day, each meal. It made it easy to find a companionable place to sit - unlike a middle school cafeteria! The activities were engaging and there were several opportunities for outings from CVS and Marketbasket to Wednesday Lunch-Bunch restaurants. A few of the volunteer activities leaders called out, leaving residents disappointed, and in most cases with no staff led alternate activity. Although Mike and Brenda did a great job pinch hitting one Thursday with a giant crossword puzzle and an extra happy hour. The aids are very focused on resident safety and are quite committed to their charges. I recommend Atria Longmeadow as a safe, pleasant place to recuperate for a short time.
