Cost-cutting affects residents' quality of life
Cost-cutting measures are negatively affecting all aspects of residents' life at the Wellesley. For example, in the last 2 years the quality of meals has deteriorated significantly. Cheaper foods are being served. Cooks lack proper training and supervision so food is often poorly prepared. Meal times are no longer something to look forward to. Other cost-cutting measures have affected amenities and cleanliness, while at the same time, fees are being added.

A caring community
We toured this community for care. We did not like the hallways. We did not feel a comfortable feeling here. The community was clean and the staff was helpful to answer the questions that we had. The menu was appealing and the activities would have been helpful. We would recommend that families tour this community to see if it what they are wanting for a family members' care
