Reviews Standish Village at Lower Mills
June 2024
I can't say enough about the wonderful experience we had at Standish Village. We needed a local, short-stay option for my father, and the flexibility and personalized service he received during his stay were incredible. We had peace of mind throughout thanks to constant, timely communication with staff. Accommodations were clean and beautiful, food was excellent and the menu varied and interesting, and my dad made friends and felt comfortable right away. It fit a gap perfectly during a challenging time for our family and we couldn't be more grateful. Especially grateful to Paul Fuller for the absolutely incredible service and thoughtful communication!

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.

My Aunt moved into Standish for respite and it was the perfect place for her. She was loved and cared for in the short time she was there. The studio apartments feel big with the 15 ft ceilings and the large windows. Staff knew her quickly, she loved the food and the tiers they offer of care came in handy. They work well with outside agencies and were so attentive.
March 2024
Standish Village was outstanding throughout the entire time my father was living there. They communicated well with me and really cared for my father. It is a lovely place with lovely people working there.
March 2024
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!
September 2023
had to move my mother on fairly short notice. I searched all over the south shore and found Standish Village. The initial tour was impressive. The staff always greets you by name and the common areas are immaculate. After move in, the staff has addressed issues and requests quickly and without delay. There are always adjustments when moving. The staff and management has made it as easy as the transition could possibly be. I have always been able to get management on the phone and they have always been willing to help.
April 2023
We made the decision several years ago to transition my mother from living with us to living at an assisted living facility due to her medical conditions. This decision took us several years to make and many visits to different places and by far we kept coming back to Standish Village because it did not feel like a facility but it felt like a home. The building is beautiful, full of amenities and well maintained. The staff is truly caring and patient. They talk to my mother not as a client but as a friend or family member. Even though my mother initially resisted going to Standish Village, she now enjoys living there very much and has been living at Standish for several years. Standish Village has provided us the opportunity for her to be just our Mom and us just to be her children.
February 2023
My mother spent the last 10 months of her long life at Standish Village. She received excellent care from the caring and attentive staff. The facility is clean and well-maintained, and the food is excellent. Standish has lots of activities for residents that clearly have great participation, though my mom was a bit too unwell to take advantage of many of them. Nonetheless, she loved her studio apartment and had forged good relationships with caregivers and other residents. We definitely felt we made the right choice with Standish, and appreciate everything they did to make her final months as happy as possible.

Standish Village is a wonderful facility staffed by friendly, caring people. My aunt is in the memory care unit and it is the best place she can be. I can't say enough good things about Lynda and Anna who care for her and encourage her and make sure she is safe and happy. Julie, Jessi, Katy and Joe always keep me informed, sending me texts and pictures or calling if need be. I don't know all of the staff, but everyone I have met or have had contact with are truly caring individuals. The building is clean and attractive and well maintained by Mike who was a big help during the move. The food is excellent and varied and there are always many activities going on. My aunt did not want to leave her home but is now happy and comfortable at Standish and I am confident she is safe and cared for.
September 2022
First let me say thank you Standish Village for the excellent care you have given to my father. My father was a resident for 6 years. The staff and associates are very welcoming and warm. He initially lived in the assisted living neighborhood and transitioned to compass memory support. Regardless of which neighborhood in Standish Village your loved one resides; they are treated like family. There are daily interactive activities as well as special events to keep resident active and engaged while keeping some form of independence. Special thanks to Anna, Marjorie, Linda, Joe, Jessi, Rosalyn, Katie and Julie for excellent care, support and nurturing you provided my father. He still says his old Navy phrase "As You Were". So, with that, keep on providing the excellent care to your current and incoming resident! Our family will never forget what you have done for us and many other families.
June 2022
Standish was the perfect place for my brother to recover from several surgeries before returning home. The food and amenities were great but mostly he loved the people. Both the staff and residents are pleasant, kind and accommodating. We loved the special events like movies and cookouts! Thanks once again Standish!
November 2021
Very professional from the moment they answer the phone. They took care of my uncle with the utmost patience and care. I would highly recommend this facility! Thank you for all you do! And the food was exceptional!
June 2021
I want to thank the team at Standish for the help they have been with transitioning our family member who has to for her safety, but does not want to be in assisted living.They are great at communicating with me on a regular business no matter how big or small the issues are. Julie and Hilary are always available.They have helped make our family member become more comfortable in the facility.She currently attends almost every event and loves Lauren and the programming staff. She has even been a few COVID safe field trips.She speaks highly of Mike who helps her with her maintenance issues.She has been challenged with her health and Jessi and her staff have stepped out to help make her feel more comfortable going to them for assistance. Jessi has gone above and beyond communicating with me as well as her doctors. She even did a Zoom call with her doctors which we couldnt even get her to do when she was home.I know transitioning a loved one who doesnt want to be in assisted living is heartbreaking but the staff at Standish does all they can to make it a better experience for all.
June 2021
This is an amazing place! We were so lucky to find a warm hospitable caring community for our father. From the first walk through, to the move in and anything and everything in between, Standish was-is always there to help.No question too big or too small. Today my dad is thriving! Always in the mix wether chasing sunsets, the beach, or an ice cream run, he is involved!Standish is a hidden gem in Boston!

I want to thank the entire care team in the Memory Unit for the love and attention they show my dearest friend Sonya. .The amazing Ericka Foley recently presented her with the Standish Village Lifetime Achievement Award and party which commemorated her work as an architect and ceramist and her volunteer work for rescued animals and her sheer goodness inside a shy exterior throughout her life .I have not seen her so happy in five years of declining dementia.This gives me the greatest comfort. A shout out too to Patrice and Anna and Linda for all you do to care for her.Louise Hall

November 2020
I first visited Standish Village looking for a place for my mother. It was far and away the nicest place we visited-beautiful settings, great food, interesting programs but most importantly the warmth and welcoming staff-from executive director to cleaning crew won our hearts. Since then I have also experienced Standish Village as a community partner. If every community had a partner like this is would be a much better world.Patricia McCormack

Standish Village community is warm,welcoming,professional and a wonderful place to live in beautiful Dorchester Lower Mills location.The staff consistently go above and beyond to accommodate residents.The Life Enrichment Director makes activities FUN at every turn and creates continual high level learning experiences.

November 2019
I have witnessed so many times, the caring and positive attitude by the staff. In spending times with the residents only positive feedback is given to me about their quality of life there.
September 2019
A great place, very clean, healthy meals, lots of activities for the residents there and the staff truly care about each and everyone of the residents as well as families that visit. We looked at other places for memory care but the Standish village stood out and we had my mom move in there this past summer. We did this whole move remotely as I live out is state and Julie, the exc director, helped to make this transition go over very smoothly as well as kept me up dated on the transition. I would highly recommend this place for your loved one that may benefit for assisted living and/or memory care!

Standish Village is excellent. I have lived here for one and a half years.

Mom lived here for 5 years. It is a lively, welcoming place, where staff and residents are genuinely friendly. People are always hanging out together and engaged in activities. Standish is a much warmer atmosphere than most assisted living. Mom was happy here and thrived.

The administrative staff could improve on their bedside manner. We have had numerous disagreements about the care of my loved one. They seem unprofessional and that it is more about money than the residents. The caregivers that work with my loved one are great. The community is beautiful. They offer a lot of wonderful things. I would move in if I could
