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.

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.

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.

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.

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

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

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!

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
