    Beautiful building and amazing audience at our "Life and Times of Paul Revere" presentation yesterday. Special thanks to Margit for following up with info for the residents about the 2025 publication "The Ride" by Kostra Kennedy and what many historians consider the "Bible" of Paul Revere books - "Paul Revere's Ride" by David Hackett Fischer. Many other books and publications were used for research and verification of facts to support the presentation.

    My mother has had the great fortune to have resided at The Cambridge Homes for the past 7 years. She and we, her family, have felt so deeply grateful this has been her home these many years. Mom has been so comfortable and at peace in her lovely apartment, as well as in the beautiful Home itself, surrounded by the most exemplary staff. The care she has received has been extraordinary! In the course of these 7 years, her care requirements have changed with the natural progression of age. The Cambridge homes has made seamless changes to accommodate her needs, personally, smoothly and with the utmost loving concern. I live far away, but have been able to visit Mom many times over the years, Staying as a guest in The Cambridge Homes. I feel almost like a family member there! Everyone welcomes me as such! This opportunity has given me a bird's eye view of what the foundation of The Cambridge Homes is built upon and how it operates. One can easily notice that it is a wonderful place to work because the entire staff, in every position from administration, CNAs , reception, cooks,, servers, housekeeping, maintenance and so on, appears to love their job! I feel that the foundation and operation of The Cambridge Homes is built upon genuine warmth, love, concern, and willingness to do everything in their power for their beloved residents.

    My uncle, age 90, has been living at The Cambridge Homes for more than a year, and it has made an amazing positive difference in his life. He speaks highly of everyone who works there, feels that it's very well run, and praises the food. Their programs go far beyond the usual bingo and games, and include lectures and concerts. Previously, he was at a different assisted living which he very much disliked, so he has something to compare it to -- and so do I. I couldn't recommend this place more highly.

    The staff is amazing. I love the care they give my mom. Their high level of care helps me feel peaceful and sleep better at night.
