smooth transition

My mother has been a resident for nearly two months. She has thoroughly enjoyed the social activities offered there and seems to feel at home. She is always well groomed, has a friendly rapport with the staff and raves about the cleanliness. When I go to visit, I am always warmly welcomed and all my questions and concerns have been addressed promptly. When I have been there at a mealtime, the food appears fresh, appealing and in quantities that are not overwhelming to her.

Nice facility, but memory care only. May need a facility with assisted living as well.

We love AVITA

I can't say enough good things about Avita of Needham. My mother moved there when they opened 2 years ago with our fingers crossed. It was brand new and no reputation however they have lived up to everything they promised and then some. Wonderful caring staff, management accountable and available and Mom has been treated like a queen. the building is beautiful but more importantly, they truly understand dementia and how to help peole live their best life. Unfortunately, her disease has progressed yet they still treat her with incredible respect and compassion. I highly recommend Avita to anyone who has a family member struggling with memory loss.

Nice place but not the right fit for my father-in-law

My father-in-law was in there for two weeks are we are moving him out. Everyone's situation is different and he just wasn't right for Avita. It's a beautiful facility but we put him in memory care and he didn't have enough dementia. He was too aware. It's really a nice place for the right people. My father-in-law needed a few nursing things like bloodpressure monitoring and they couldn't do that. It is very clean and friendly. They just weren't used to dealing with someone who was more with it. I would recommend it to people with parents with dementia. I feel the aids could be trained better, but that's for the whole industry, not just Avita. I think they should put more thought to training the aids to be more present and care a little more.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Memory Care. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Know Massachusetts’s regulations for memory care. Each state has its own laws and inspection processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the communities you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts’s regulations for memory care and download the Guide to Senior Living Licensure and Inspection Reports.

  • Tour the location. Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and it helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services. Before committing, make sure that the community offers all the services your loved one needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.
