Recent reviews of Memory Care in Cambridge, MA
Cadbury Commons in Cambridge, MA
4.5

Very good staff for the most part. It is a good environment with a lot of bright people. The community is quite clean and have housekeepers on each floor. The staff is very friendly and knew my name immediately. The activities are good and they offer good off-community trips and normal on-site games and such. The value is probably on par with others here at Cadbury Commons. The community is very well run.

The Residence at Watertown Square
5.0

From the initial contact with your service and Watertown this difficult time was made immensely easier. The sales and promotion staff was thorough and exceptionally friendly. Options were spelled out in easy to understand detail so budgeting was facilitated and decisions were easier to make. But primarily, our mother has made a smooth transition to Watertown and enjoys the staff and services. They are professional and their advice has made us all understand our options and future course of action. Thanks for the expert advice and guidance. We'll recommend you to all who inquire.

Neville Place in Cambridge, MA
5.0

My loved ones have only been here a short time, but so far we're very pleased with how things are going at Neville Place! The staff here does a great job in general, the nurses are wonderful and the activities directors also do a great job! I really appreciate how experienced and knowledgeable they are when it comes to dealing with Alzheimer's Disease. They understand the issues that will come up, and how best to handle them, without simply resorting to more medication.
