Juniper Village Wellspring at Brookline

Non Christians will find the overt, heavy handed evangelism of certain members of the staff uncomfortable. Not limited to Sunday services, certain members of the staff waste no opportunity to "witness" and offer "testimony" regarding their evangelical Christain faith. Place is well run, clean, and the staff seems well trained, but for a place that is supposed to be secular and not affiliated with any religion. there's an awful lot of Jesus and "giving your life to Christ" here.

Wellspring is a beautiful, safe, caring environment for the residents. I am a home health nurse who has helped coordinate services between our agency and Wellspring residents. I can attest first hand that the services provided at Wellspring consist of quality and care. I think anyone with family here can rest assured that their loved one is in a wonderful place!

Our experience with Wellspring was terrific in all aspects. Our loved one, in the early stages of dementia, went to Wellspring after a short stay in Juniper rehab. We were not sure if it was time for her to reside permanently in assisted living, and the administrative staff was extremely knowledgeable, helpful and understanding as we considered this decision. Our family member struggled mightily with this change, and the staff could not have been more kind and patient. Their skill in dealing with the needs of such a diverse group if residents was inspiring. The environment is remarkable...social and cognitive stimulation are constant. Ultimately, we chose the 30 day respite stay. But when the time comes, we know Wellspring has everything our family is looking for in an assisted living/memory care facility.

I am quite pleased with the quality of care of my father at Juniper Village Wellspring at Brookline State College. Juniper Village is professional in operation and considerate of the resident's memory care needs. The staff is friendly, helpful, and understanding. Their activity director are always trying new and fun ways to engage the residents. Knowing that someone is looking out for my father's needs gives me peace of mind.

My mother has been living at Wellspring since June 2016. I could not be happier with the staff: from the executive director through the hands-on aides, everyone has been attentive, involved, caring and kind. We especially like the fact that mother has a physician's assistant who supervises any and all medical needs. The physical facility itself is equally pleasing to our family: Wellspring looks like a pretty house, not an institution. There is access to a lovely outdoor garden where activities are held in the warmer months. We looked at several memory care homes in both Pennsylvania and Florida, and chose Wellspring above them all.

The staff is extremely friendly and well-trained. They go above and beyond to care for the residents as well as the family. I've learned so much just watching them interact with the residents. The facility is beautiful, very clean, and feels like a fine hotel. There is comfortable seating and pleasant rooms to visit and participate in activities, which are numerous. The connections staff makes an heroic effort to involve residents and keep things fun and interesting everyday; and outside entertainment is scheduled frequently. In the four years I've been visiting there, I've never seen any staff member become angry or frustrated with a resident. Each person is treated with the utmost patience and care, with a keen eye to the residents individual needs, concerns, and personality.

Thank you for the chance to see the Glen Campbell movie, "I'll Be Me" last week. Touched all emotions plus some boot stomping to "Rhinestone Cowboy." I appreciate what Juniper Village does over and over again to enlighten our community about Alzheimer's. Thank you again for a meaningful evening.

Placing a parent in a facility is an extremely difficult decision. We decided on Wellspring after checking three other places but I could still not bring myself to make a final decision. The executive director suggested that my mother and I have lunch there to gauge her reaction. While she did not realize it was a facility, because it is so home-like; she was very positive about our lunch and the tour. That was 3.5 years ago and I am still so very thankful that there is a place like Wellspring. At each stage of dementia they have something to offer and they are excellent at problem solving and coming up with solutions as the disease progresses. They figure out how to provide her care, what she will eat, and how to keep her occupied and happy. The staff is very well trained. The residents are treated with respect and kindness by everyone and I always feel welcome and part of the family when I visit-- which is often. The activities are fun and the music program with the iPods is a big hit. There is a group singing session everyday around 4 and ice cream socials on Wednesdays. The activity calendar is packed. Dementia is a terrible disease and it is hard to watch a loved one go through it, but the help, care and support and skill-- lots of skill of the Wellspring staff makes it easier. To know that your mom is safe, well cared for, and loved is a great comfort.

My mother has been living at Wellsprings since the end of December 2015, so about half a year. Her dementia had progressed to the point that memory care was advised, and when she arrived she was coming out of rehab for a stroke. Wellsprings has turned out to be a perfect match for her. She is engaged in activities throughout the day so that she is surrounded by friendly staff and other residents. Activities range from singing, art, flower arranging, and movies, to petting companion animals and much more! This has been a great asset for our family since she enjoys activity and companionship and progressively needs help and direction to participate. At Wellsprings, the staff are sure to include her and help direct her attention while also caring for her daily needs. Everyone is trained to work with dementia and so everyone is super aware of the needs and challenges these individuals need in their daily care. On top of that, they are genuinely friendly and loving towards my mother, making her happier and making me (and our family) confident in the care she receives.
