The Residence at Orchard Grove

My loved one, is quite happy with the food. It is expensive. We picked this location because, of the location, and it's closer to my home.

We have loved our experience with this community. They have great food, and the people are nice. There are three meals a day served to the residents and they have choices to choose from. They are providing laundry and housekeeping services for my loved one. Some of the activities include: bingo, field trips, swing dancing, and more for the residents to participate in.

It seems like when people come to The Residences at Orchard Grove they come because of the activities. It seems like they want the residents to just live their fullest life here, it does not feel institutional at all. They have so much going on every single day - there is bingo, board games, movies, arts and crafts, different exercises classes and social hours. Our loved one is really enjoying the meals and dining service and we would definitely recommend this community to other families.

My loved one was not at this community for a long time. I would recommend, as long as it is for asstisted living only, opposed to long term care or a nursing home.

It's generally an okay place. But you're paying for services. Nothing is given to you for free, and it's expensive. There is also an increase in cost every year. The apartment is okay and certainly meets my needs. The staff have been pretty good in my interactions with them.

The administrator [name removed] is above and beyond. She has really done a great job with our move-in and our placement. My parents can't say enough good things about the nurses and PCAs there. They're very helpful, friendly, and professional. The facility is always clean. Their trash is taken out regularly, carpets are vacuumed, floors washed, beds are made. My parents tell me the food is excellent. I think it's a really good value.

We went with The Residence at Orchard Grove because they were willing to waive the up front fee for us. The communication with the director up top the point that mu uncle actually went into the facility was wonderful. Once he was here there were a few issues that did arise and the communication was poor and I was disappointed with that. They had plenty of great activities provided for the residents but he did not participate. I would definitely recommend them to others looking, overall the quality of care is top notch in my opinion.

This is a nice clean community. Everyone here is very friendly. The staff are quick to respond to questions or concerns we may have over our loved one. My loved one thinks the food is delicious. There are a lot of activities for the residents to choose from to participate in.

Went on a virtual tour for my mom. This is a five start facility for sure. Only 3 years old and well maintained. Look like new with all the modern conveniences. 1 bedroom seem spacious and would be a good fit for my mom coming from a 2 bedroom beautiful condo. Many activities and options. Loved that they can have their dining room open 7am-7pm so not on such a tight schedule. 24-7 nursing on site.

I think since it is a smaller place it has much more personal interaction. Everyone is on a first name basis, very friendly. Very personal one on one care. If they do not see someone they seek them out to make sure everything is okay. Food is excellent, fairly new and a very pretty place.

Beautiful facility. The staff was very informative.

I looked at several assisted living communities with memory care. Most seem more like nursing homes. My mom is in a wheelchair and needs some level of assistance 24 hours a day. She has vascular dementia but if she were not in a wheelchair could still function in traditional asssisted living. The Residence of Orchard Grove was the best decision I could have made for my mom. The people are very caring and ensure my mom integrates with the traditional assisted living as well as with residence living in the memory care. She has friends in both areas. The socialization has actually helped her memory quite a bit. They go out on average once a week. The activities staff groups the outings in a way that they are with different people which I think is great. The food is excellent and I enjoy joining my mom on Friday’s for appetizers and a glass of wine during their Happy Hour. My mom will always want to go back home but she always says, “If I have to be somewhere because of my broken hip I’m glad you found this place” no place can truly replace her home but I know she is safe and well cared for. The facility is beautiful and her apartment is a good size. I wish this would become the new model for memory care. Our moms and dads deserve better than what the majority of facilities offer. Thank you Residence of Orchard Groce! And thank you A Place For Mom for recommending it.

My mom has been at the Residence at Orchard Grove for almost 7 months. She is memory impaired and in a wheelchair. I was not sure memory care in an Assisted Living setting would be enough care because she would forget she could not walk. After meeting with the Director of the Memory Care unit I decided to take a leap of faith. I have been so happy I made the decision. My mom had been at a nursing home for a time and I watched her literally loosing her mind. Since she has been at the Residence she has made friends, both on the traditional side and in the memory care unit. She has enough independence to feel whole again but I feel confident she has enough supervision to be safe. The food is great, her apartment is a good size and kept clean. The aides are so kind to her and the director of the memory care unit is professional, experienced and so very sweet. They try to have outings at least once a week which is so good for my mom. I am so happy we found the Residence.

I brought Mom and Dad to Orchard Grove a little over a month ago and have been so impressed by the progress my parents have made. The staff make them feel so at home and they are thriving. They eat as often as they want from a large menu, with items like filet mignon (YUM!) and I've even seen them gain, weight which we were worried about before. They have excellent programs and lectures which my parents enjoy, and they go out on trips to all sorts of places. I'm loving this new addition to Shrewsbury and would be happy to recommend such a beautiful, well-run establishment.
