Atria at Marland Place is an incredible facility. More than a facility, it's Home. And you feel…read morethat and know it the moment you walk through the door. The staff are amazing people. So giving and a love of what they do and for the people they care for is unparalleled. The gatherings and events that are held for the residents at Atria make it a Home. They strive to bring together the residents and see that no one is left out. The first time I walked through the door, I was met by welcoming staff and given full access to tour the facility. The management staff went above and beyond to see that all of my questions were answered and any concerns were discussed and alleviated. I discovered that they care for their residents as they would a member of their own family. There are too many names to mention, and if I had them all I would write every one of them down. I don't know that I can say enough about the staff at Atria Marland Place. And especially now. The caretakers, nurses, kitchen staff, housekeepers, maintenance workers, and managers are keeping your loved ones safe, working many hours to keep everyone healthy and safe. Just know this, these people aren't working your average 40 hour a week job, this isn't just a job for them, it's their life, and after a very long day keeping your loved ones safe they have their own families to go home to. I've read the reviews that people have put here, I don't know about their personal situation, but I've come to know several people on that staff very well, and they deserve the utmost respect. They are professional, trained, and dedicated people. And in just a few years I might be a resident at Atria Marland Place, and I can't wait!

Not only did they hold her to a 60day notice they increased her rent $1200.00 for the 2nd month. I was supposed to get refunded for 2 day and they would not give me back what I paid for the 2 days.

My father has lived at Ashland Farm for 3 years. I live in Connecticut and other siblings are in…read morePennsylvania, Texas, and Gloucester. Once Dad moved in we had peace of mind that there was help available if he needed it, whether he was sick, or any need he had. It was a good move because we knew Dad didn't have to live alone and he could be around others. It took a while for him to get adjusted to the change in his life after leaving the family home of 55 years. Dad came to appreciate that he could get cooked meals served to him in the dining room. He likes the food and loves all the wait staff and enjoys chatting with them. My father is very friendly with anyone that works at Ashland even though he's not one to engage in the activities. He has made friends in the dining room and in the hallways. Monica, the current executive director, as well as Heather, the current sales director, have been very helpful in trying to help Dad size down as his money is being spent down. They have been very gracious and have not complained about all my father's questions, research, and the many apartment tours Heather has given him. My dad feels confident talking to the staff or the nursing team if he feels he has a need. The community is clean and well kept. They do offer rides and trips out of the building. Ashland has been very conscientious during the past 2 years with Covid-19, keeping our seniors safe. They are starting to renovate the rooms, so that's a plus. Ashland is conveniently located to 495 and 114, so it makes it easy to visit from CT, PA, and the North Shore. All in all we are happy that my father is living at Ashland Farm.

I love Yoga with Nancy - she is fantastic and the ice cream socials are great for meeting people and hearing their stories. The food is really good and Chef Darrell encourages all of us to tell him how he can make our dining experience even better. I love the scenic rides on Fridays and the trips to North Andover mall for groceries. I love going out to lunch and being taken to my Dr. appointments.

I'm giving three stars, the care by the nursing staff ie two of the nurses was wonderful (Lorna and…read moreDenise) there was another nurse that was awful and when my mom was dying she was so rough with her and almost choked her with medication, but I digress. Let me start at the beginning. We looked at this location for my mom because she needed more care than we were able to give her at home anymore, it all seemed like a great fit, the woman that gave us the tour was wonderful and kind, unfortunately she hit ill and they let her go. One thing that I cannot say enough about is the activities department! If not for them I would have taken my mom out, they kept my mom busy and entertainment for the last six months of her life. Jacinda the director should open her own business! I have so many items that my mother made that are beautiful and I will cherish them forever. Let me get to the negative about this company. The management is truly awful, I won't go into too many specifics but I know that karma will have her way with these folks. I will start with the family is supposed to get together with a manager and get a 30 and 60 day review of how their loved one is doing, Jack the manager had to change the date, ok fine but when I went in on the date he changed it to he started yelling at me (the customer paying 9k a month) saying he was too busy! There is a nurse case manager who oversees the nursing staff, unbeknownst to me I don't even think she's an RN, that I caught in a bunch of lies about my mother falling, which ultimately resulted in her death. I had asked to see the video to see my moms fall and was given the runaround how Jack couldn't find it on the film (what??? Why do you have cameras then?) my mom was in hospice care and did not have a long outlook but this definitely rushed her process along. I could go into many more stories, something that really left a bad taste in my mouth? They sent me a bill after my mom had passed away, keep in mind, this is a 50 bed facility, not a huge corporation! My mom had been gone over five weeks now, I'm still awaiting the refund I was promised three weeks ago, the management doesn't care about their clients whatsoever, it's all about the money, thank goodness for Lorna, Denise and Jacinda!

To have all these amenities and meals included, starts at $4,000 per month for the smallest room, which is approximately 475 square feet. I'd recommend discussing the pricing before the tour, as we wish we knew how expensive it was before investing an hour touring. The bus was not currently in operation, due to limited staffing, however we were told there were plans to get that going. In the meantime, they have a Lyft account which could be used to bring residents to doctors, etc. They do have another building which is an apartment only option, and is less per month, which appears to be targeted to a younger population who does not need the amenities.
