We chose The Residence at Boylston Place because of the familiar location and nearby for me, the responsible person for my friend; easy walk to lots of stores and restaurants; newly redecorated; seemed upscale compared to others we toured; food we sampled was good; friendly admin( but now four have left) Activities have decreased a lot. This is perhaps due to staff leaving and short-staffing. But I find it unsettling. Also I think there are still vacant apartments.

Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. And thank you also for those kind words about our community. The brand new wing is filling up quickly, but we still have a few apartments waiting for their new residents. We are looking into your concerns about engagement, something that we take very seriously. Thank you for putting your trust in us and please feel free to contact us directly with any further concerns.
It’s been a great experience for my Mom. She has transitioned really well to this new arrangement. I am especially pleased with all the activities she does there. She is rather high functioning so she has a couple of others like her and therefore has formed friendships
I would certainly recommend The Residences to anyone who inquired. I was very pleased with the facility!
Business response:
Such warm thoughts--thank you!
Sometimes the meals are great sometimes not very good. I don't know how to rate value for cost - to me the cost is exorbitant. Yes, I would recommend this community to other families depending on their needs and expectations. Also I've heard that the new head nurse is not nice
The facility (memory care section anyway) is brand new so everything is fresh and clean and new. The "apartments" (room with mini kitchenette) are good size.
My mother liked it much better than the other one we considered. I very highly recommend it.
Overall, we've had a good experience at The Residence at Boylston Place. However, there are some things that need improvement. My loved one is in a wheelchair, but his apartment is not wheelchair accessible. This has made things more difficult for him than necessary. For example, we had to remove the bathroom door, making it almost impossible for guests to use his restroom due to the lack of privacy. The food is inconsistent- sometimes it's great and sometimes it's poor. The aides are great. The communication with the family... read more
The staff at The Residence at Boylston Place is loving and caring. The facility is clean, updated, and cheerful. The size will be just right when they open up the new unit. For our needs, the facility is very well located. There is a lovely outdoor space. I very much like it as does my loved one, the resident. The meals are rather bland, but nourishing.
Business response:
Thank you for your review! We are glad to hear you've been enjoying Boylston Place so far and will definitely pass this along to the kitchen. We are always looking to improve and cannot do so without feedback like yours.
My suggestions for improvement: Provide more welcoming experiences for new residents. Add more activities for all residents that would provide more ways to get to know each other and to strengthen the community bond.
Business response:
These are excellent suggestions. Some things that we work very hard to provide, but could always improve on. Thank you for your feedback.
