I toured Evans Park at Newton Corner. I liked it a lot. The staff is typically there like seven years average, and that is important. It is a lively space with lots of activities. You have your choice of dining time. It is a place that I'm considering for my aunt once we know what it is she needs. The staff who showed me around took time with me. He introduced me to the director, and he answered all my questions. The facilities were a little older than some of the new ones. But they have a patio there.

My mom moved into Evans Park at Newton Corner a month ago. It was very clean and calm. They had programs running all around. Every time I was there, something was going on. They have loud music, great video, and entertainment. It was pretty good. The staff members were very helpful and very friendly. They took care of her needs, like once she needed to go to the bathroom, and they came in like a minute later. So everything was fine.
Her room was very clean. It was just one bedroom. It was a good size and had a desk, a TV, and a bathroom. It was nice, and it was more than what she needed. They have smaller rooms, and that was the hangout room. In one room, there was music playing. In another room, there was something else going on and stuff like that. So it wasn't just one big room.

I liked Evans Park at Newton Corner because of its proximity to our house, and it would be a good fit for the personality, types, and interests of our in-laws. The staff I met was great. They all were very nice, personable, friendly, and helpful. It was an older library that was converted into a senior living facility that had a refined taste in architecture and detail. It was very clean and the upkeep was very pristine. They had a physical/occupational therapy room, a small gym, and availability to either have their laundry done or to do it yourself. Everything was well maintained, and they're also going to be doing updates soon to the outside. I actually heard them working inside, so they are doing some renovations actively too.

My family member lived here for 2 years The activities are fabulous and the place it Kept clean I stop there
They have many leaves of care my family member needed One of the highest levels
We were happy with her care for the most part but we were alerted When another resident told us she was not treated very well
She had many trips to the hospital and Manny Falls last fall did her in and broke her hip That she’ll never recover from
We Believe it should not of happened and found information out after the fact on exactly what happened from another resident
The director change and she has since left but A lot of residents and staff have left Since she was very standoffish

Evans Park did not look like a cookie cutter copy of all the other assisted living facilities we’ve seen. It’s a unique building. I liked that there seemed to be a piano concert and lively people enjoying what was going on. It’s a diverse community. They mentioned several different kinds of religious activities going on. The location was attractive. The rooms we saw were larger than a studio, attractive, and had more storage space.

I went to see Evans Park, and I liked this very much as well. The parking wasn’t quite as easy, but the staff was also very nice. It wasn’t quite as warm -- the people weren’t quite as warm with each other -- but everybody was very respectful, and everyone knew everybody. It’s a good place, and I would live there. It’s very beautifully appointed. They also have antique furniture, and it’s very beautiful. They had various sized rooms and apartments, and they’re willing to work with you. It was very nice that you had choices. You also can have a shared room. They did have a full schedule of activities that looked intellectually stimulating and within the reach of people who had some memory difficulties. They also had a menu that had healthy food on it. I thought it was a good program all around. I would give them a 4 because of the cost, and it’s just the cost; otherwise, it would get a 5.

Evans Park at Newton Corner used to be a library. The rooms were very small, and there weren't any outside grounds. It looked clean to me, but it’s an urban setting and very small. The people that showed me the place were very nice. The community seemed too large, and the rooms were very small. It’s a nice but old building. For my parent’s needs, it would be two stars since it wasn’t something my father was interested in at all.

I visited Evans Park at Newton Corner, and it's a nice place. The two gentlemen that were there were extremely nice. The rooms were very nice. The dining area was very nice with the way they had it setup. It's not a big place, but it's located in a beautiful location that is easy to get to. They do quite a bit of activities. They go to movies and to places.

My brother has been living in Evans Park at Newton Corner since August. There's definitely great communication with them. We get emails all the time about the activities. There are lots of amenities. The staff is very attentive, friendly, and very knowledgeable. They have helped my family tremendously, as he's rapidly becoming more and more debilitated. He has a one-bedroom apartment, a walk-in shower because he's in a wheelchair, and a kitchenette big enough for him to fix something if he wants, but they offer dining services there. It has a really nice view, an elevator, and a beautiful lobby. It's a beautiful facility. You're in assisted living, but you really would never know that it was assisted living. They pay attention to diet, which is important because my brother has high blood pressure. They make sure there's not too much sodium. They offer three things on the menu daily for each meal that they can choose from. They also have a visitor's choice, and as long as you let them know you're dining as well, they are able to accommodate that. They have the shuttle bus to go to the mall or grocery store three or four times a week. They have boat rides and they go to plays. If he doesn't want to go out, they have classes, like oil painting or flower arranging. It's fantastic. They call me almost every day, telling me how happy he is there. He really likes it.

I looked at Evans Park. I loved it. It was very pretty. The people seemed happy. The staff seemed attentive. The rooms were very nice. It was a converted hotel, so the rooms were not cookie cutter. They were all different. It was very nice.

Evans Park was very nice but I think we favor the more independent living because we're not in that much need of a physical or psychological assistance. I found the people living there happy but they seemed a bit more disabled than the people in the place we're in now. We felt that we would be a little bit out of place because we had much less disability. The person who showed us around was very nice, friendly, warm, helpful and informative. I was quite impressed with the place. It seemed very nice, very clean and new but not suitable for us.

My dad is staying now in Evans Park at Newton Corner. So far everything has gone really well. I just helped him transitioned a little bit there. The facilities are great. The food there tastes really good. He got a one-bedroom little apartment with a kitchenette, a freezer and a sink. It also has a bathroom and a bedroom. People working there are also very nice. So far our experience with Evans Park has been pretty good.

The facility itself is very clean and spacious. The rooms and common spaces are always well lit. I was also impressed with the demeanor of the staff there. Everyone was kind and very polite. They seemed to bend over backwards anytime anyone had any concerns or desires.My friend's mother looked like she was enjoying her stay there a lot. She had made many friends in a short amount of time. The community there seems to put a great emphasis on actually building up the community rather than just being a place to stay for people. There are many activities both within and outside the facility.More importantly, at least from my point of view, is the location of the facility. It is not stuck out in some suburban or rural area, but is rather very close to the heart of Boston. Everything is easily accessible, and anytime anyone wants to go out on a day trip or just take a walk about town, they can do so. The facility itself is far enough away from the hustle and bustle of the big city, but residents want to go into the city, it is a mere 20-minute train ride away.

I was touring miscellaneous facilities for a possible place for my grandmother who needed more assistance with her day to day needs. The only thing that I struggled with was the cost of the facility - which ranged from 2500.00 - 5000.00 per month depending on what was needed by staff. Evans Park at Newton Corner provided with lifestyles, housing, care and services in comfortable surroundings combined with exceptional amenities, programs and care in affordable budget. The rooms are average size studio apartments complete with kitchenette and a bathroom well designed for handicapped people. The bathroom even had a radiant heating system in the ceiling to keep one warm after bathing. Although the apartments have a kitchenette, there is a dining room where 3 meals a day are provided. They also offer special housing and care options for those who require assistance with the activities of daily living such as dressing, bathing and dispensing of medications. The staff is extremely keen to look after the residents and offer them a home like environment. I met few residents who showed utmost satisfaction about the facility. It is a better place to accommodate old people.
