August 2024
My mom lives in the memory care unit which is absolute wonderful to her! The staff is caring and kind and her personal care and room are well taken care of. She lived in independent living and moved over about a year ago and I was very nervous since it's a hard step. I am very pleased, if you are going through this this home is wonderful.
July 2024
Every time I go by to visit I'm always greeted with a huge smile and a welcoming hello! The staff keeps the building sparkling clean! The place looks great inside and outside! The level of care that I see for the residents is second to none.

Hi, I am writing to let people know what a great job the staff does in the memory unit My mom has late-stage dementia and still knows us but past that she really needs at lot of help in her daily routine as most with family members at this stage in their life know Every time we show up unannounced, she looks great her room is spotless and she is engaged and always happy All the helpers and nurses know her by name and are very respectful I have seen other places and visited many prior to deciding on Melrose Station and I can honestly say it makes us comfortable that she is there and happy If you are looking for a great place for a loved one who needs to be treated with dignity and respect and you know you can feel confident that they are happy I fully recommend Melrose Station and there staff Todd

As a vendor for the past 10 years at The Residence Melrose Station I have seen the special attention and care that the residents get from Steven Chakalis and his staff. He tends to their requests immediately and helps with planning for extracurricular activities weekly. AND he attends and works each event from start to finish. Those get togethers are always upscale and colorful. The food is always festive and delicious. Usually there is lively music. I would recommend this facility highly.
June 2024
The staff is great, extremely clean facility with plenty of activities for the residents.

My grandmother moved in back in September 2023 and we love it here. The staff is absolutely incredible. When she needed rehab, the nurses jumped through hoops to advocate for her-helped with securing resources she needed to come home. I was very thankful to all the staff members who helped us after she had surgery. The dining staff remember her preferences and greet us everyday with a smile. I eat with her at least 5x a week because I enjoy seeing her everyday, and I can attest to the quality of the food. The food is very good with extensive options. The location is also very convenient for a caregiver - proximity to Shaw's, hospital and library, makes my life easier when I need to help her. 5/5 stars.
February 2024
I have to say the facility is clean and beautiful and most of the staff is wonderful . My father was a resident for about a year, he has since passed away . I want to give a shout out to Steve and Doug of the facility department they were both very kind to my father . As well as Linda and all the dining room staff. They were the highlight of my father's day ! Heather at the front desk was great as well . The one thing that still breaks my heart is the nursing care that was supposed to be provided and wasn't . My father required some assistance with his hearing aides ( he was legally blind ) , with showering and just a few simple things that were an upgrade and we paid for , These services were not provided without a constant battle . His medications were supposed to be administered to him and we would find them on the floor when we were there ( the nursing assistance would not wait to make shore he got them in his mouth ). At the end of his life he was falling a lot and the week before he died he fell and was on the floor for four hours because his alarm, that was on his wrist, and provided by the Residences, which was supposed to alert staff when there was a fall, did not work properly. He suffered four broken ribs due to this fall . I am posting this review so that maybe The Residences can improve the. Nursing care that they are supposed to be providing to their residents who pay for it . I could go on about their incidences that happened, but I think I have make my point.

As a vendor of The Residence at Melrose Station I get to see first hand how well the facility is managed. The place is kept impeccably clean and well maintained. The residents and staff are upbeat and friendly. The residents are genuinely happily and well taken care of. I highly recommend The Residence at Melrose Station for assisted living and the various levels of care they provide.

Having a loved one moving on to their next chapter of life can be a difficult and stressful experience for the entire family. From our very first tour we knew that The Residence at Melrose Station was a special place. The leadership team and staff made us feel welcome from the very beginning. The staff has done an excellent job making our mom feel at home. They check in with her often to make sure she is doing okay and acclimating to her new home. There is a very positive atmosphere and the staff is kind, caring and compassionate. My mom looks forward to the daily activities sheet that comes out each morning - her favorite is the happy hour! It gives our family great peace of mind that she is happy in her new home, and is safe and well taken care of. We are lucky there are people like the team at The Residence. Thank you from our entire family!
June 2023
My mom recently moved to The Residence at Melrose Station. She was initially apprehensive about moving to a senior community, but has had nothing but positive experiences since moving to Melrose Station. The staff is knowledgeable, attentive, and caring, and has gone above and beyond to make our mom feel at home. There's a very positive vibe in the community - residents seem happy and mom has made many new friends! Our family is relieved she is safe and well taken care of and most importantly, she's happy! Plus, the food is great! We couldn't be more pleased about our decision to move my mother to The Residence at Melrose Station.
April 2023
My parents moved here in early February and Kathryn and Steven have been nothing but fabulous to my family and my parents. Going above and beyond to accommodate them in two adjoining rooms. Can’t say enough about how great everyone there is. Peace of mind ❤️so grateful. Thank you to all at the Residence.
March 2023
We moved my Mom intro the Residence in February. The staff at the Residence did an outstanding job making a tough change of life for my Mom, a smooth and happy experience. We worked closely with Kathryn, Steven and Susan and they all gave us peace of mind that my Mom would be in an environment that cares about her. It always amazes me that all of the staff knows every resident's name, and always greet them as they walk around the building. The environment is warm, friendly and inviting. The facility is beautiful, the dining options are great and there are a variety of fun activities for the residents to participate in. We are very happy that we chose The Residence at Melrose Station for my Mom.
January 2023
From the very first tour we knew this was the place for my Mom. The staff immediately made us feel comfortable and Welcome. The move into the Residence was so smooth because of the staffs attention and they welcomed Mom with warmth and understanding. The staffs knowledge calmed us on acclimation time. AND they were so right. Mom in a short time was thriving, full of excitement for new activities., and made friends very fast with the residents and staff. It's so wonderful to see my Mom so happy and our family enjoys visiting the beautiful facility, taking Mom out or staying in with her, and knowing she's in a safe, vibrant community in the Residence at Melrose Station.

I worked privately with a resident and I will say the staff are extremely friendly!! The maintenance director Steve was always around , happy to assist with any and all issues and ALWAYS SMILING !! The food is by far unlike most facilities it's fresh and the menu is rotated seasonally. Great - clean- good vibes!! I highly recommend anyone looking for an upscale assisted living.
November 2022
Melrose Station is a fabulous place ! The building and grounds are kept in impeccable shape and staff members are always warm and professional. The food and activities are great and my Dad enjoys living here. Kudos to the staff
November 2022
Moving from one apartment to another recently, I was greatly impressed by the professionalism, hard work, and careful attentiveness of the support personnel doing the moving. The people who work here can, most definitely, always be counted on.
October 2022
I highly recommend this place to senior citizens who are for the most part healthy. I wish my father moved here maybe one to two years earlier when he was in better health, and I believe he would have enjoyed the activities to the fullest. They do have a lot to offer, the meals are delicious, and the housekeeping and apartments are immaculate and very modernized. Unfortunately, they do not offer long term care, so if your loved one's health has been declining to the point where they need to be hooked up to oxygen or a catheter, don't take the risk and come here. I do have to say that the nurses and all of the staff have gone beyond my expectations when checking up on him shortly before he got admitted to the hospital for the second time. If he had been in a long term care place that he liked, he could have gone back there for the rehab. Instead, he ends up in a hole in the wall place which I know he is not happy with. Hopefully, his time will be done there soon. PS - they seem to do fine with the memory care patients if they are mildly/moderately afflicted.

Forever indebted to the staff at The Residence in Melrose, they made a very difficult decision easier on our whole family, including my dad who swore he would never go to "one of those places! " The faculty was so beautiful and clean and bright, the rooms were perfectly suited for the residents. Most importantly, we felt like family, we were close so we could come and go often and so could my dad. The proximity to downtown is brilliant. Staff kept us informed and were caring at the most difficult times. We can't express how deeply they helped us at a most difficult time.
July 2022
The Residence at Melrose station is a warm and lovely building . The care staff is wonderful and the housekeeping staff really take care of the residents .

I'm leaving this review in Hopes that it help someone to make their decision to choose The Residence at Melrose Station for your Loved one. Just a few shorts years ago my Aunt Barbara my Moms sister was diagnosed with early stages of Alziemers. She lived in a big house was very active after retiring and was driving up till like 6 months before, but sadly had gotten very forgetful to the point she was taking her medicine etc... she wanted our Help as she was worried something might happen as in leaving the stove on or something. It was not an easy decision for her to leave her house but she knew it was necessary one. We checked out many places in the area and realized there were some that might be a little lass expensive however upon visiting and talking with the staff and management Team, the wonderfull food and care the we experienced and witnessed we realized that this was the place. She Loved her new friends and all the many activities plus the fantastically prepared food. Unfortunately Covid came a long and deprived us on almost a year of time with her, but we can't say enough about how well she was treated while there. To sum it up she could not have been taken care of any better, she was well taken care of while maintaining her dignity. They get it! Thank you Sincerely, John Caron

I’m an RNCM. A couple of my clients live at Melrose Station. It is an incredible place! The staff are warm and welcoming. It is absolutely beautiful there. Lots of activities offered! Food is delicious! Everyone is so lovely-it’s like a large extended family! It is how Senior living should be! Such a special place!

When you enter this facility you can tell it has a great aura. Greetings from staff and residents come at you in every direction. The gentleman I moved into The Residence at Melrose Station was very hesitant, old school and not open to this idea. It took a very short period of time for him to understand the advantages and pleasures of living in an assisted living community like this. Not to mention the people he met and friends he made while living there. He could be a bit of a tough nut at times, but the staff was always very supportive of me and him. When I mention staff members, I mean everyone including reception, facilities manager, nursing and care staff. Being in the senior care field myself, it was refreshing to deal with such a flexible team.

The experience my family has enjoyed at The Residence at Melrose Station is extraordinary. You are greeted with smiles, the team is so supportive to their clients and when you leave, you do have the assurance that you are leaving your parent in good hands.

Hi I am writing this review to let anyone that might be look for a place for a family member the my parent have been living here and its been a great overall experience. This is an incredible facility and a great location. Its about a 5 minute walk for my parents to go to everything from a grocery store to CVS. Plus there are a unending amount of family owned business and restaurants in down town. The Residence at Melrose Station has a great restaurant inside the building that I have eaten at multiple times and its always been excellent. My parents are in the assisted living program and the staff has been great with my mom and dad but also with staying in contact and working with me on everything from helping find a local dentist to have laundry done and delivery medications all in a timely fashion. This part in very important to me as I live on the west coast and truly could not get all these smaller items done with out the continuous help I am offered. I will also so they have put together a great activities program and even a little happy hour every day or as my mom calls it Wine Hour All in all I would say its a great location, beautiful facility with a very attentive staff that actually cares TD

My mother in law now resides here. Every time I visit, the staff is friendly and caring. It was a wonderful experience and I just had Mothers Day brunch and the food was great. The dining room was beautiful with flower bouquets everywhere. Also, the special touches were impressive..everyone received a rose and they also had someone singing for entertainment!

I attended the grand opening of The Residence at Melrose Station. Even walking from the parking lot, I could tell that this was going to be a great experience. I mean, the community is in Historic Melrose! Upon entering the front door, I was greeted with nothing but friendliness and felt overwhelmingly welcomed. Anyone looking for an Assisted Living Community should definitely NOT make a decision until you visit The Residence at Melrose. The food service compares to dining at any of the citys finest restaurants. The facility is one of the most upscale communities, with luxury at every turn. The view for the upstairs patio is a million-dollar view.
March 2019
My Mom lives here and loves it. The staff is amazing. This is just like an upscale boutique hotelResort. Charles James, the Director, is a warm and welcoming man who is available to do whatever he can to make your loved one be happy at home. Take a tour and you will understand.

My mother decided to move into The Residence at Melrose Station when it opened in August of 2017 and it was the best decision for her and for our family! A longtime resident of Melrose, over 50 years, my mother did not want to leave her city and The Residence at Melrose Station and LCB made that a reality. She has a beautiful apartment looking out over downtown Melrose, 3 wonderful meals a day, a delightful get together with the other residents before dinner, more activities than she can ever attend and the most wonderful and caring staff to help her with anything she needs! The Residence is beautiful, clean and feels like one of the best hotels in Boston, but with all the warmth of a home! No expense is spared for the residents and they lack nothing! From a beautiful dining room and living room to a quaint little bistro, a nicely appointed media room, a beauty salon and an outdoor deck on the 5th floor which looks out on downtown Melrose; The Residence has it all! My mother lived alone for many years and I spent many a night worrying about her, but now I know she is in good hands. She stills has her independence to come and go as she wants and do as many or as few activities as she wishes, but there is always someone available to lend a hand if it is needed. It is the best of both worlds! I and my family highly recommend The Residence at Melrose Station and hope you have the great experience that we have enjoyed! Thank you LCB Senior Living!

My Mom moved into The Residence on September 19, 2017, after living with my sister and her husband for five years (thank you Ann & David). Transition is challenging at any age, and this move was difficult for all of us. However, the staff at The Residence made my Moms transition to assisted living as smooth and as comfortable as it could be. This is a new way of life for my Mom, but she soon realized that there are numerous activities and events at The Residence to attend and enjoy with new friends. Mom enjoys going to the beautiful dining area to have her meals and to the daily afternoon social hour before dinner. She has her hair done on the incredible fifth floor, which also has a media room, activity room, gym, and roof deck. Mom gets a lot of exercise because she is able to walk around to get to wherever she wants to go. The Residence is a gorgeous living environment. Mom says The Residence reminds her of the Loews on Miami Beach and I agree. If you were blindfolded and brought to The Residence, I guarantee you would think you were in a high end boutique hotel. Recently, I took my friend Sandy to visit Mom and she was blown away by the beauty of and amenities offered at The Residence. There are numerous events scheduled during the day and special events for Holidays, all of which are great for residents and family. Mr. Charles James, the Director, is a wonderful man who goes out of his way to know the residents and their families. He is excellent and great to discuss any concern you may have regarding your parent or loved one. Mom loves him too! It is refreshing to watch seniors engaged with each other and involved in daily activities in a beautiful and safe environment. This is a great way of life for your parent, or loved one. The fact that my Mom tells me she is happy, well taken care of, and not to worry about her, especially given that I live one hour away, is of great comfort to me. More importantly, my Mom is happy and that is what matters most to me. I encourage anyone who may be interested in assisted living to contact Mr. James and take a tour of The Residence-you will love it! Best regards, Martha J. Awiszus
