Ives Hill Retirement Community, Inc

The Lodge quickly integrated my mom into everything, she made a lot of new friends fast. The staff are all warm and friendly and were also very helpful with getting all of her things moved in and settled into her apartment. I would definitely recommend them to others.

I WOULD GIVE THE Lodge at Ives Hill five stars. You feel like you are a part of a family here and this is home. The staff and residents are friendly, cheerful and courteous. The meals are good. They do everything they can to make you feel comfortable and take care of your many needs. The staff remembers your name, your family and they understand how you want things done. They even remember how I like my coffee and when I want it. Clothes are washed, folded or neatly hung up for you as needed. Birthdays and special occasions `are celebrated. The atmosphere is cheerful and well decorated. No tasks are too great or too small as they endeavor to make you stay a peaceful and happy place, It feels like home. I don’t believe I could have found a better place.

This is a nice community for my father. The community is clean and has a nice environment to live in. My father is happy with the menu that is provided. They offer activities for the residents and he is starting to participate with the other residents. I would gladly recommend the care and the value to other families for good care and value for others

The enriched assisted living community that my loved one lives in is at The Lodge at Ives Hill. It is adjacent to this independent living community. It empathizes care over activities and food choices. It is very clean. My loved ones apartment is spacious but it came with zero furniture. No towels nor sheets are provided. It has the usual kitchenette and a nice walk in shower. Everything is relatively new. The workers are friendly and provide good care. All care is included in the monthly cost. The food according to my loved one. Breakfast and lunch are okay. They don't look forward to dinners usually. They have the option to cross the street and eat at the main lodge but has no one to eat with them there. My loved one eats out dinner with a family member at least 3x a week. There are very few activities for residents. My loved one goes to senior day care in Watertown twice a week for activities. Bingo, occasional music and trips to a local ice cream shop. The family initiated this day care and had to push for the lodge to provide free transportation to and from. As for value. I think you get what you pay for.
