She is a very nice person and the facility itself is very nice and homelike.Several of our family visited and were very impressed with it. The kitchen was immaculate.

We were able to get her a veterans survivors benefit that will help pay for her care.I think the FH would be a strong contender if you are seeking a home of this type.

The facility is…read morebeautiful, the grounds are lovely and well tended and the residents were friendly to a newcomer/short-timer. The food was good, prepared to order using fresh ingredients. There was no assigned seating so the meal seating arrangements shifted each day, each meal. It made it easy to find a companionable place to sit - unlike a middle school cafeteria! The activities were engaging and there were several opportunities for outings from CVS and Marketbasket to Wednesday Lunch-Bunch restaurants. A few of the volunteer activities leaders called out, leaving residents disappointed, and in most cases with no staff led alternate activity. Although Mike and Brenda did a great job pinch hitting one Thursday with a giant crossword puzzle and an extra happy hour. The aids are very focused on resident safety and are quite committed to their charges. I recommend Atria Longmeadow as a safe, pleasant place to recuperate for a short time. It's harder for me to evaluate what it would be like to be a full time resident.

I first started there because my grandparents lived there and I've been there years after they passed. I can honestly say that working for this company has changed my life for the better!

What an honor to post a review for an organisation that it's hard to say enough about. Although I…read morepost this review as an individual, I'll speak for my siblings as well. The five of us have had many discussions before and mostly after our mother chose to move into this exceptional facility. Right from the first visit mom felt as if this place could be her new home. Her coments were "homey" and "comfortable". And boy was she right. We were all pleased that she found a place where she would feel comfortable and relaxed. At 97, comfort was the best medicine for her final five years. That's right. This being the right place for her was a major reason she lived to 102. But it wasn't just the layout and character of the building, inside and out. It was the amazing staff. A staff who made her feel as though she was with family. Such an atmosphere of care and compassion. Taking care of her every need. Which made it very easy for her children to come and go. And we did. All through those final years we watched mom relax and mix with the community. She was happy and comfortable. Comfortable in her new home but just as comfortable with her new community. This facility works so well with so much individual attention, mom was able to be herself and enjoy time with the neighbors. Believe me this could not be the case in some of the other larger places she looked at. Mom's family, her kids, spent a good deal of time there and we had so many rewarding interactions with everyone of the staff members. Each with their own strength and every one of them with a cheerful approach. The five of us, along with our partners and children will be ever thankful to the wonderful staff, in every area, and the residents who treated mom like a sister. I know that each of us would highly recommend this organisation for anyone seeking indepent living arrangements for a loved one.

We chose New Horizons at Choate in Woburn which is part of the Cummings Foundation. It is a non-profit facility for independent and assisted living. From the moment we walked in we knew this place was something special. It wasn't the fanciest or the biggest, but all the people were warm and welcoming. The place was "alive". My mother ended up spending 6 1/2 wonderful years at Choate. Even through the pandemic she was kept safe, fed and was visited by staff. She passed away suddenly on February 3, 2023 at age 93 1/2. The staff at Choate love working at the facility. Because of this they have amazingly real longevity. There are college students who help serve meals to earn college scholarships. There are ice cream socials and parties. The activities and games vary depending on the clientele at the moment. There is always Bingo, educational programs, music, art, movies and exercise classes. There are van trips to the local museums, sight-seeing and stores. If you have a car you may park it on-site free of charge. They have a hairdresser. They serve three amazing home cooked meals a day, and coffee, soda, wine, snacks are all included. My mother also played Bridge, joined the book club, played trivia, Scrabble, Poker and Texas hold-um. Because there are only 100 beds, the meals come out hot, and one always has a choice for meals. My mother was always impressed with the holiday meals, which often included huge cocktail shrimp, filet mignon and Limonchello cake. There is always great dessert! We share this review because we think New Horizon's at Choate is a top notch, five-star facility. Not a fancy place, but truly an environment filled with love, caring people and staff.

Since I did not hear back on the second time, I called and spoke to Chef Dennis Cox, and he is the rudest, unprofessional person. He mentioned that he had many applications and did not have time to get back to everyone. My impression is he does not want to hire mature hospitality workers, as I checked their website online and everyone that works there is young, expect the chef and the managing staff. I would not recommend this place to anyone!
