AMAZING!!! Our experiences with Orchard Grove have been absolutely WONDERFUL. The care and attention our mom receives every day and night, along with excellent protocols that allow for tailored adaptation, have helped her progress from a wheelchair to a walker and a corresponding level of independence in her own apartment. Everyone - EVERYONE - we've met within the Orchard Grove family has a friendly smile, a welcoming word, a helping hand, a solution to any issue, and they all exude a most positive attitude. Our mom is remarkably happy living in this community! For a notorious hard-to-please woman, it feels like a miracle that we've been blessed with finding such a wonderful new home for her.

Orchard Grove has provided care that has been better than we could have imagined! The beautiful facility, the fantastic food, multiple activities from mid-morning and throughout the day (including a happy hour each afternoon) and culminating with a movie every evening, there is plenty to keep residents as busy and engaged as they want to be. In fact, they encourage residents to be out and about and involved. The apartments are comfortable, well sized, and bright and can be decorated by the residents, including hanging art on the walls. The management and staff provide extraordinary care and are always ready to lend a hand, answer a question, or just provide a smile to the residents, all of whom they know and call by name. If it sounds like I am gushing, I am: we never expected to find an assisted living facility that checked all of the boxes and then some. You can rest easy that they take their role of providing care very seriously and execute it to the highest level. The bottom line is that we are content knowing that our mom is happy and well cared for.

The Residence at Orchard Grove is so lovely. I was impressed at how happy the residents there were and how active the facility is.

I am a jazz musician (Alto & Soprano Saxes & Clarinet) and feel so privileged every time I am invited by Mary Beth, a delightful and caring soul, to come back and play for everyone at The Residence at Orchard Grove: it is one of my favorite, if not the most favorite of mine to play: everyone always greets you with a warm and friendly smile: all are polite, courteous, professional and nothing is too much trouble: the decor and ambience in all areas and in every room speaks of elegance, class and are most exquisite: there is a level of excellence rarely found these days and yet it can be seen and felt throughout: there is a 'good feeling' when one walks through those doors and it's there because everyone genuinely cares. Thank you to all at The Residence at Orchard Grove for bringing so much love and joy to all.

We went to visit Orchard Grove just to see if it could be an option for my mother down the road. After meeting with Melissa, touring the warm, homey community, learning about the enrichment activities and meeting the rest of the caring staff, she put her application in for the next available unit. Melissa's was so warm, caring and understood the issues seniors face as they age. She talked with my mother about what life would be like in this community. My mother saw an exciting new life filled with things she thought were over for her. She saw that moving into Orchard Grove was going to enhance her quality of life vs living at home alone, cooking and cleaning for herself. Since moving in, we can hardly catch my mother in her apartment as she has been welcomed by the other residents and immersed herself in the activities and enjoys the fabulous food she can order anytime of the day. This is truly a special place for someone looking for a senior living community.

Highest recommendations to the Residence at Orchard Grove. My mother recently went into the Reflections memory care program at this facility. Melissa was fantastic helping every step of the way and even holding my hand to comfort me while I cried during our meetings. This was the one of the most difficult decisions I've ever had to make. Reflecting on this now I can confidently say that this was the best decision I could have made for my mother. My mother's transition was a success, and to my surprise I've even seen an improvement in her overall. Her glow is back! She is engaged in activities all day long, has made a group of friends, and is less agitated and anxious than ever before. I try calling her throughout the day and visit multiple times per week and she is never in her room - she is busy at art class, exercise, watching a concert, playing games, etc. Big shout out to the memory care Director Lynne and the whole team who, during my mothers transition dealt with my multiple check-ins per day (every day). They are true professionals who are experts in dealing with Alzheimer's and dementia and executed a very successful transition plan. This success is a testament to how dedicated these individuals are to the happiness of each and every one of their residents. Very highly recommend The Residence at Orchard Grove Memory care!!!

No Director once again in memory care! AIDES are not interactive and stimulating to the people. They just sit around and don't do a lot of fun interactive activities! The food is just okay. Feeling disappointed with the interaction and stimulation for all the memory care residences. So different than the assisted living area. These people can't express their feelings and we feel that OG is NOT providing the services as promised!! OG Reflections MUST change and help all the residents that don't have a voice! PLEASE on behalf of all the families make this a better place for our loved ones to live!

This is a fabulous, all purpose senior living community. It has about 80 units which are all full now. There might be a short wait to get an apartment. There is regular senior living, assisted living and a memory care section. The food is amazing! They run the kitchen like a restaurant in that the dining room is open from 7am-7pm. There's a menu for the day but you can pretty much order what you want whether or not it's on the menu for the day. They are very accommodating and work to please you. I was very impressed. Their activity calendar is full of quality interactive programs. I highly recommend it!

If you're looking for a fabulous Assisted Living facility, this is the one! My elderly mother compared many places and chose Orchard Grove for many reasons. The food is prepared by chefs in a restaurant / hotel style. They have a full menu and specials daily. You are waited on in a beautiful dining room and you can order as much as you want. Meals are available anytime and you eat with whoever you choose. Our family has eaten there and it was 5-star fabulous...even Filet Mignon. The rooms are large and cleaned daily; however, it is the staff and residents that won my mother over. Everyone there is friendly and goes out of their way to include everyone. The atmosphere is happy and energetic all the time. There are so many fun activities that you pick and choose what you're interested in daily. My mother, who is very shy and introverted, has made a lot of friends; gone to exercise classes, cooking demonstrations, craft activities, movie nights, group games, concerts and more. She is happier than she's been in months and recently told me she feels more at home in Orchard Grove than her own house. That's an incredible feeling for us. She (and us) picked the right place for her. We couldn't ask for anything more. Thank you so much Melissa and Karen and everyone there!

I live three hours away. The place is understandably in lockdown from coronovirus and their response to protect everyone has been outstanding. My husbands father fell at his house so we need to visit him in Waltham Sunday. I think ok, I need to see my parents as I can now see them for half an hour visits and I will be down there to see my father in law! Orchard groove has a very safe outdoor , socially distanced visitation situation. I call only to find out there is no visiting on sundays but they had a time slot Saturday I could come. Well I explained that wouldnt work and was told sorry That I couldnt come on Saturday. I hung up in tears and emailed management and went on their fb page. I got a response in about an hour back via email and phone saying they would make an exception under these circumstances. So they get four stars instead of the one star I initially posted when I was thinking all was lost. Not a five because : 1. There needs to be more proactive measures so as not to cause undue stress 2. Perhaps more training for any substitutes when normal person isnt there as Mary Beth has always been great, but go figure she wasnt there today. 3. Maybe a longer visit ( I would take even 45 minutes) for those that come from a far.

My 90 year old mom has a new lease on life since moving to Orchard Grove! Its a beautiful facility, well run, EVERYONE from the front desk, to the aids, to the chef & servers, to the building services and ALL the management have been awesome - that is not an exaggeration. Not only has my mom found a new family that truly cares about her, I too have made lots of friends with the residents & staff! I have a friend whose mom is in another assisted living facility which I have visited and theres no comparison. Residents can eat in the full service restaurant ANYTIME from 7am to 7pm. If my mom wants shrimp scampi (her favorite) for breakfast, she has it! My mom lives in a small studio thats perfect for her and with a little creative decorating, it really feels like home for her. Shes safe, medications are administered by the staff, they clean her apartment, do her personal laundry and bedding for her once per week and bathe her three times per week. As my mom has become more mobile & more independent, the assisted living costs were adjusted. The cost is expensive, but less costly than other similar facilities and you really get what you pay for. The facility director Ellen immediately addresses every question weve had. No matter what she always resolves an issue right away, even when shes on vacation!! All the staff treat the residents with lots of love and care, even an occasional grumpy resident its truly a family and Im so grateful for this experience. My mom deserves the best, OG has changed my her life in ways you cant imagine.

My mom has been here for about 7 months. She is memory impaired and is in a wheelchair. I cannot say enough about the staff and Brenda, the Director of Reflections. They are so kind to my mom and are always joking with her. They are constantly trying new activities to keep all of the residence engaged which is so important. It was the hardest decision I have ever made and everyone at the Residence understands and makes the process as easy as possible.I am so impressed with Brenda. She is professional and very experienced. She truly understands dementia and is filled with patience and compassion. My moms apartment is a good size and is kept clean, which is so important to her. She has enough independence to feel whole but there is enough supervision for me to feel she is safe. My mom has made friends on both the traditional side and in the memory care unit. She loves the outings they go on every week. I am so so grateful I found this place!

I just wanted to mention the reflections program and how wonderful it is. It really feels like home. The staff is great. They are helpful when I ask questions, they answer. The director, Brenda is so kind and very caring as if my grandmother were her own. She is very dedicated and informative. She thinks outside the box when it comes to creativity which is great for all. I am very please with everyones hard work. Thank you!
