The food is excellent. Not your usual crummy hospital food. They serve lox, matzah ball soup, roast chicken, and more tasty goodies. Try and get a single room if you can. Located on Centre Street in Roslindale, part of Boston, they are down the street from Faulkner Hospital, on the other side of the street. There is ample free parking.

Daughters can be very over protective of their aging mothers, as I was, but she thrived at Springhouse, enjoyed many friends and activities, pretty good food in the elegant dining room, shows and activities, providing more socialization. She even had an art show of her very own. Although Independent living was not designed to provide health care, there were times she needed to be looked in on. She had to leave for medical issues during the early panic of the pandemic, never to return. I was critical then, but now know, safety of the residents took first priority. I was hoping to move her into Springhouse Assisted Living, but it didn't work out. She needed more care. Her last two years at a medical nursing facility were not happy times. So now, if I want to remember the good times, in my mind's eye, I see her at Springhouse all gussied up for dinner and chatting with friends.

What an awful experience!

I was checking out a daycare in Roslindale today and I was horrified by how depressing the rooms where, how dirty it was and the craziness of the people. I actually thought I was in a psychiatric ward. The cost for all this glamour: $58 per day and you need to go for at least 2 days per week. There was one room that they were showing a movie and all the lights were on. Most of the seating was facing a window and the tv was to the side. All I saw was 2 people on the movie making out. The people in the room were either talking to themselves or staring out the window. If you love your elderly parents or friends or even if you don't...I would not have them go to this place. I cannot comment on the Alzheimer section because that was closed off with no windows for me to see what it was like. I can only imagine.

My mom has Alzheimer's and can't speak for herself. A relative of mine stoped by to refill my mom's daily meds and when they gave her my mom's pillbox, it was completely full. They were not giving her any of her meds. Also, my mom can only eat puree food and they just left regular food in front of her, that's why she was losing weight. We were shocked by this and immediately took her out of there. Our advice, always make spot checks to see how your family member is being treated.

They entered as an alert and mobile resident. GH promises "you can age in place" but our loved one was forced out as they required more care in spite of the fact that fellow residents were wheel chair restricted and required all sorts of care. Our family was willing to provide 24/7 private care but still we were told we had to leave. GH is a non-profit with volunteer board that is supposed to oversee the organization. There are no terms of office for these trustees; they serve year after year, including the board chair who hired a for-profit management company, SLR which brought tensions. SLR yanked long-standing, resident-focused policies such as financial rent assistance if family paid in full for three years. Policy is gone. However, the board chair requested the admission of at least one resident with full financial assistance at the outset because this person was a friend of hers. There were four changes of Executive Director in the time we were there and at least as much as head chef in the kitchen and head of resident care/nursing. I do not believe there is an R.N. on staff. The facility is outdated. Several bathroom resident falls occurred due to outdated bathroom design. Apartment bathrooms are being updated now as residents vacate but it does not help families whose loved ones fell. Additionally, carpets on 2nd and 3rd floors are original to construction! Yet, the board sits on a hefty quasi-endowment and does nothing. Lastly, the organization was slow to respond to a gastrointestinal virus that initiated in their kitchen and spread throughout the community. Goddard is terrific for a resident who is independent, mobile and requires little care. Brookline is a great location because of its proximity to academic medicine, but if your loved one requires additional care as they age, you may need to leave GH or you might be one of the fortunate ones to be allowed to stay.
