Standish Village Assisted Living Reviews

    Moving my dad into Standish Village was one of the best decisions we ever made. From the moment I first called for information, the staff's warmth and genuine kindness made me feel at ease. They took the time to understand my dad's needs and preferences, ensuring every detail was perfect. The level of care and attention provided was truly exceptional. What stood out the most was the compassion and patience shown by the entire team especially the director, Arielle. She treated my dad with the utmost respect and dignity, making him feel valued and at home and she consistently went above and beyond to support our entire family during the move. The vibrant and inclusive community atmosphere, with plenty of activities and social events, has given us peace of mind knowing he is in good hands. I highly recommend Standish Village to anyone looking for a caring and supportive senior living community.

    I am grateful to all the hardworking folks at Standish Village who have created such a wonderful community right in Lower Mills. My mother moved into the assisted living side about 5 weeks ago. Her quality of life has improved dramatically since then. I feel so comforted and relieved knowing that my mother is not only safe and comfortable, but thriving and enjoying every single day. My mother keeps calling to share all of the fun experiences she is having and new people she is meeting. At this point, I have met and interacted with quite a few Standish Village employees during my visits to see my mother. Every single person has been kind and welcoming. It is clear Standish Village values all of its employees, which is reflected in how supportive and fun the atmosphere is for the residents. The location in Lower Mills is also a major feature with its nice shops and restaurants, and great options for outdoor walks. We feel lucky to have this place so closeby!

    My mother is in the Dorchester facility and we couldn't have picked a better place. The staff and administrators are caring, diligent, and patient. My mom loves it here and this is after she fought and resisted being moved to assisted living. She has made friends and enjoys the activities. And she loves her studio apartment. Standish Village has been a blessing.

    Standish Village is an amazing place with wonderful, caring staff. When my mom could no longer live on her own, we moved her into Standish Village so she could be close by and have a community of her own. From the very first conversations with Arielle, who helped us choose an apartment, we knew it was the right place. Jessi, the Resident Care Director is always attentive, communicates often and and made my mom feel at home instantly. When my mom needed to go to the ER and I was away on vacation, Katie, also in nursing, reassured me and kept me updated. Nina, in the business office, is always lovely and helpful. Everyone from the front desk staff such as Peggy, to the dining room staff, maintenance (Mike) and recreation/activities (Brian and Kathy) took excellent care of my mom and made us feel like family. I cannot begin to name all the aides, but they, including Sivitri, Marie, Ruth, Anna and others were all kind and caring. My mom referred to them all as her friends. When you cannot be with your loved ones every moment, at Standish Village, you'll know that they are not only safe, but appreciated. Although my mother only lived here for 16 months, when she passed away at 92 after a beautiful, long life, everyone at Standish grieved with me. That is a true community, and I am grateful to know them.
