I saw all the levels of care at Harriet & Ralph Kaplan Estates, and I thought it was very nice. It looks very clean and it looks very well organized. The staff that I met there was very friendly. They had a list of activities on the wall and it looked like they had a nice variety; they did a little bit of everything. When I read it, I thought it was very nice. The dining area was very pretty and very nice. The gentleman that helped me was wonderful and I thought the facility was beautiful.

Our family is happy to share that this facility is superb in every way. The aids are extraordinary, and our mother feels safe and happy there. She participates in the many activities when she is up to it. The rooms are large and sunny and the facility offers lots of “add-on” items as needed for a cost. We have 1 person to clean her apartment, and another to supervise her showers. During Covid they even washed off deliveries, mail, and offered visits and ZOOM calls so each person can be in touch with their families. We moved our mother from Florida back to MA and we are so blessed to have found this home.

I saw Harriett and Ralph Kaplan Estates. It was clean and modern. We saw the dining area, and we saw a couple of rooms; they were fine. The staff member who showed us around, was nice, cheerful, and polite. However, it was not compatible with my mother because it was a Jewish center and my mom is Christian.

What I like most is the staff. They are excellent and absolutely awesome. They are very helpful and sweet. They like my mother-in-law, and she likes them. If she is not at her table at dinner, they come looking for her, find her, and make sure she has dinner. They hire special kinds of people. What's nice is that they do an assessment, and after she had been there for a month, they called me up and assessed what they need to do for her. Her room is sunny and big. It has one bedroom, a living room, a walk-in closet, and it's beautiful. She loves it. We have dinner there, and it is fabulous. They bring in musicians. They have presentations. I always go there after lunch to visit my mother-in-law, and they always have something at two o'clock, so she is never bored. There are a lot of places where you can walk inside and outside because they have a memory care, a Jewish community center, and a child care. You can walk down the hall and look through windows to see them. My mother-in-law is happy there, and that makes us happy. It is the best move that we have ever made.

It was fine. We had our aunt there briefly for a few months. They did have the usual activities but she didn't participate in any activities.

Me and my wife have been staying here about a year and a half. The staff are okay and the people there are excellent. I really like the rent, the facility's surroundings, and the people. The food is also excellent.
