After being on a wait list for another independent facility in Milton, we decided to check out the Village at Duxbury. She moved in 6 months ago, and absolutely LOVES living here. Mom feels like she is living on a cruise ship, with so many activities to participate in and wonderful new friends. If your mature parent is bored, isolated or at times, lonely, please consider touring the Village, and see this outstanding place.

My wife and I moved to Oak Point five years ago. Overall, we are very happy we made the move and…read moreenjoy living in this large 55+ community. We have met many wonderful neighbors and friends. Oak Point offers fantastic amenities. There are three swimming pools, two hot tubs, tennis courts, a basketball gym, fitness center and billiard tables. The social director is top notch. There are plenty of activities, including concerts, dances, comedy shows, karaoke, line dancing and bingo. There are also many clubs, including a classic car club, writing club, garden club, women's club, singles club....and many, many more. Many Oak Point residents volunteer in the community and raise money for local charities and causes. For example, the Oak Point Homeowners Scholarship Association hosts an enormous yard sale every year to raise money for college scholarships for Middleboro HS graduating seniors. The landlord, Hometown America, has been stepping up its game recently. For example, the snow removal and landscaping have improved. There are still some issues, so be sure to hire a home inspector and insist he checks under the home, where some homes have had water and other issues. The monthly fee includes property taxes, trash pickup, landscaping, snow removal, sewage treatment and use of the enormous clubhouse. Oak Point is an excellent value and a wonderful, albeit imperfect, community.

I really wanted LP to be better than this rating. - Is it…read moreclean? Seemingly yes in the public areas. - Are there basic systems to make sure your loved one in Independent Living (IP) isn't found dead days later. Yes. - Other than that, it is so very challenging to provide a review of all the issues related to: -- lack of follow-through by IP staff with family caregivers, -- lack of the same by the medical department, and even more so when (gosh forbid) your elder has to go to Rose Court because RC and Medical don't seemingly share data on your loved one. (BTW, the emergency care team at RC is great in and of itself.) Keep your loved one away from the live-in side of RC except for those in deep need of 24X7X365 help. It's a lock-down unit. --lack of staff owning up to/ responsibility not doing their jobs Are the grounds lovely, yes. Is the food really a 1/2 step down from anywhere you don't want to eat again, yes. The local HS kids try to provide good service but fall short. I will admit it can't be easy on the dining room managers to manage the quality of food delivered, food prep itself and training kids in hospitality to serve seniors. And all this for a $250K* buy in (1bdrm) plus ~$2K a month rent with one meal included. Lots of activities are available but I can't speak to the quality. 90% returned to estate when resident dies. *Price from about 5 years ago so this has probably increased. I'm just so frustrated. It's too late for my person to leave because it would be too much disruption. I will keep on advocating and try not to lose my mind. For whomever reads this review, survey all the options and if LP keeps rising to the top then know you will need to be your person's absolute advocate at every turn, with every interaction. Get yourself a notebook and keep it with you to track every interaction.

My mother liked living at Linden Ponds, but we (her adult children) all think the place is a huge…read morerip off. Their commercials are very misleading. Linden Ponds is "independent senior living." You put up a huge sum of money to move in, and then pay an outrageous monthly fee that amounts to a condo fee, with a meal plan thrown in. The food is mediocre at best. How they can possibly justify their $4,000+ a month fee (when you've already given them hundreds of thousands to pay for your apartment) is a mystery. They put my mother, who has dementia, in an ambulance one day and NO ONE CALLED ME. My mother was on a gurney in the hospital, alone, for 12 hours before a nice nurse took pity on my Mom and helped her to call me. I would have rained hellfire down on them for this, but my mother was still living there and I didn't want them to take my fury out on my Mom. Mom is at a new place now where for NO deposit and a bit more each month she gets three meals a day, laundry, and housekeeping done for her. Linden Ponds charges extra for EVERYTHING. It was a very happy day for me when we drove out of their, never to return.

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!

The staff is wonderful that works with him, and with the other residents. They were very caring and supportive when it was time to move him to memory care (& it WAS time). They did their best to work with costs vs. the scenario before us. Dads memory may be short term, but he always says "this is a nice place" and similar comments. I am a Very present child. I am not only there to see that Dad's finances are managed in the best way so that he is comfortable but I visit weekly. Even great places need to know you are there watching at all times & being your loved ones best advocate! Gave them 4 stars not 5 as they could hire more housekeeping for more frequent cleaning. Doesn't smell, but in places like this should be cleaned several times & Dads room always dusty.

I would NOT suggest this facility to anyone. Awful.
