The Gables of Fitchburg

We searched all options in North Central Massachusetts for a place for my 94 year old mother-in-law and decided on The Gables. The facility, staff and value were clearly superior. What a great choice! I cannot overstate the quality of service they provide. The staff is professional, proactive and responsive. They rapidly integrated Mom into the community and provided her a real home. The facilities are top notch and well maintained. We could not have chosen a better place. My mother-in-law was safe, contented and loved during the last year of her extraordinary life.

The Gables in Fitchburg has been wonderful! Everyone has been so helpful and understanding with such a transition in our Mother's life. [names removed] and all the staff have helped our family tremendously, figuring out everything from financial aspects to the moving in and arranging everything to make Mom as comfortable as possible. She is adjusting well, and we know this is only because of all the people that work there and care so much about her. We feel she is very safe there which makes us feel so much more secure in our family's decision. Thank you for all that you do for our family!

My review is based on my interaction with [name removed], Marketing Director at the Gables. I had the most support and help from [name removed]. I was looking for a place that my Aunt could go too. This was a very stressful time for me since I am a niece and my Aunt was not very easy to deal with and at times became very hurtful towards me. I had been to the Gables on more than one occasion looking into someplace I thought would be best for my Aunt. I fell in love with the Gables. [name removed] was always available whenever I needed a question answered. After my Aunt left rehab and came to my home I then was able to make a trip with her to the Gables. We met with [name removed]and before we could proceed with a tour we met a wonderful resident who resided there with her husband. This woman spoke so highly of being there. She was honest and said when she first got there she wasn't sure she was going to like it. Apparently that changed very quickly and we had a very pleasant conversation with this lady. I had held out hope that my Aunt would like the Gables and decide to go there. Unfortunately my Aunt had lived in the city of Boston all her life and decided that is where she was going back too. Of course living in central Mass this put a strain on me but I have located a place for her in a city and she liked the place I didn't but it was her choice not mine and she is the one that will have to live there. I found it was way overloaded with elderly and not much staff around. My Aunt is 87 and believes she is fit as a fiddle and sadly she is not but no one will change her mind. [name removed] has helped me understand that this does occur with the elderly but I needed to realize that I had done my best and sadly my Aunt will have to find out on her own what I was trying to do for her. I would highly encourage anyone considering The Gables to check it out and contact [name removed] she was awesome to work with and even though my Aunt didn't go there we stay in touch.
