Kennedy Meadows Gracious Retirement Living in North Billerica, MA
4.1

They are still a new community. The social activities is building, as they add more residents. My loved one is very happy, which makes me happy. I would recommend to other families.

Brightview Concord River in Billerica, MA
5.0

I have noticed that they are giving good care and the staff are nice people. Mom is down about not being her home and the staff have been working on making her more happy. I was unable to ignore that after the holiday there was a lack of communication and had some billing issues but there is room for improvements. She has been eating well and she is attempting participation with activities. I can affirm it is a nice and clean community. The staff are nice people too.

In general it was a positive experience. We had my loved one here for a respite stay, not a long-term stay. I would recommend Benchmark at Billerica Crossings to others.
