If the facility's doctor is chosen for resident's primary care, be prepared to bring urinalysis (done at the facility) to a lab to be processed. I did not realize they have no courrier to do that. We have had a couple issues of our parents missing hair or podiatry appointments there in the facility because no one called to remind them or went to their room to get them. (Both parents have significant memory loss). Cable TV service leaves A LOT to be improved on. We bought 2 new TVs, when told that perhaps the issue was their ... read more

We are utterly delighted to hear about your positive experience at The Residence at Great Woods. Thank you for sharing your feedback!
Very clean. Lots of great activities. Great about checking in if they don't see my Mom for a bit, both with her and with me. Suggested a pharmacy program that has been a lifesaver. Great that she can see a nurse, her PCP, the dentist, podiatrist, and hairdresser without leaving the building.

Thank you for sharing your positive experience at The Residence at Great Woods. We're glad to hear about the great activities and services provided..
The staff is great. My mom says they are very helpful to her. They always check in on her. The admin takes the time to introduce you to the head staff when you initially are accepted as a resident and makes you feel comfortable with the whole process. I would highly recommend this assisted living place to anyone. I feel very confident my mom is taken well care of.
Business response:
Thank you immensely for sharing your positive experience at The Residence at Great Woods. We genuinely admire the care and attention our team provides to your mom.
We needed more orientation as to how things actually worked, especially after my mother in law got sick with the flu and was showing some confusion. Care was not provided by the residence staff, but had to be coordinated with a local VNA. We had no idea. Then we needed help getting her to take her meds, but didnt realize we had to set all up. One med had to be crushed which the staff weren't allowed to do and my mother in law didnt have the hand strength, so we had to take care of that as well. My mother in law has time blin... read more

Thank you for saying such nice things about our community, it is unfortunate that our license does not allow us to provide medical care and we are very sorry if that was not made clear to your move in process. We are always looking for ways to improve our service and getting feedback like this is invaluable.
When faced with finding an assisted living community for my mom with very short notice, A Place for Mom considered our needs and provided referrals to appropriate communities. Knowing that they had previously vetted these communities, gave us significant peace of mind. As soon as I toured The Residence at Great Woods and met the staff, I knew that my mother would be safe and happy here! It was a bit of a scramble for us since she needed to move in directly from rehab and her rehab insurance benefits expired before we expecte... read more

We are absolutely thrilled to hear that your mother is safe and happy at The Residence at Great Woods! Thank you for sharing your experience.
We're very happy with the community but it is expensive. I am familiar with other facilities in RI which are less expensive and provide more services as part of the rent. I am aware of the differences between what is allowed in RI and what is allowed in MA.

Everything was absolutely perfect at Great Woods but unfortunately my mom had to step up to long term care. They were so wonderful. The facility was beautiful and clean and all the staff were great, helpful and friendly. And the food was excellent...chef prepared meals that were just wonderful! I was disappointed when my mom had to leave, l truly felt that we were very blessed!
Business response:
It's wonderful to hear that your time at Great Woods was so positive. Knowing we made a difference for your mom means everything to us. Thank you for sharing your experience!
Major complaint is the dining room. Its what my loved ones complain about almost daily. Other than that the cost of living there is outrageous. I would recommend it for peace of mind.
Business response:
Thank you for your feedback, which we take very seriously. There is no question that private Assisted Living is not inexpensive, be between all of the hard costs (rent, utilities, insurance, upkeep), three meals, full-days of activities, and the intangibles such as folks concerned with a resident's wellbeing 24/7, a renewed social circle and peace of mind, many find there to be great value.
