My Mom had dementia and was a resident at Dodge Park, our experience there was excellent right from the start. They are very caring people and took wonderful care of my Mother. I had heard good things about Dodge Park and then when I read the excellent reviews, I knew this was the best place for my Mom. I met Micha first and he was so very caring in every way. I met with Carrie and nurse Sue who I would soon find out they were loving care givers. They kept Mom clean, safe and well cared for. I spoke to my Mom on Easter Sunday and she told me how good the food was there and how she felt loved there. The staff there took the time to know Mom and would talk to about her parents and her growing up in England. Mom told me many times she felt loved there. As a former Business Manager, I was so very impressed working with Cindy in the business office. She was wonderful to work with, just like the rest of the people at Dodge Park. May God Bless the owners and staff there, they are very special people.

The staff at Dodge part are very caring and attentive. Whenever I want to talk to my brother they are very helpful, and whenever there is an issue they contact me immediately. I enjoy being able to visit on the patio when possible. My brother has made a very good adjustment since he has been there and continues to be more comfortable each week.

A top notch facility. The owners Mike and Ben are available for help and questions , they are very helpful. Staff is wonderful.

My mother has been a resident of Dodge Park for 7 years. From the first day I can honestly say that she is cared for like family. They have activities for everyone from morning till night. The caregivers, nurses, kitchen staff and cleaning staff are the most patient, caring people one would hope to meet. The rooms are white glove clean. The food is first class. We've had dinner with Mom several times. Mom likes bingo and word games. She also enjoys the excercise classes and the entertainment people that come and play all the old songs from her younger years and sings right along with them! I cannot say enough wonderful things about Dodge Park and their staff. Mom is safe, well cared for and most importantly, she's happy!

Very happy with the care my mom is getting. She seem very happy during our visits. We are very impress with the infection control; the facility are doing and the extensive testing they do to all visitors of the facility before each visit. Mom always looks very sharp, clean, her hair well set (very important to our mom). I highly endorsed this facility to anyone who is lucky enough to secure a bed there. The staff are amazing and very responsive.

Mom has been at the Dodge Park facility for almost 5 years. This is her home. She is treated with respect and dignity. Everyone knows her name and addresses her accordingly. She continues to receive outstanding care from not only the caregivers but to the kitchen staff to the maintenance staff, recreation staff, laundry staff etc. One critical component of the Dodge Park facility is that the owners Micha and Ben truly have a passion for the quality of life of the residents. They are actively involved in the daily needs of the residents and make sure that everyone is involved with activities based on their ability. The cost may be more than other residential facilities, but having had Mom at other places, this is the BEST!!! I do not live in the area but I always know she is well cared for. Any surprise visits I make always reveal that she is clean, dressed appropriately and engaged in activities to the extent she can be. Bottom line is I can sleep at night knowing she is getting such great care and she is in the best place for her needs.

In the 4 years my mother has been a resident at Dodge Park, I have never been disappointed. From the very first visit I could tell the standards of care were very high. From the nursing staff and personal care attendants, to the housekeepers, maintenance and kitchen crews, I witnessed employees from every department willing to jump in to assist residents and family members. The staff treats residents with patience, respect and compassion, and I am always informed of new developments related to my mom - medication changes, unusual behavior, etc. The owners interact personally and often with residents. If there was a sixth star, then Dodge Park has earned it, especially during the past year of Covid. I highly recommend Dodge Park!

Both my Mother and Father are together at Dodge Park. I was try to care for them at home, and found that it was impossible to keep them safe in my absence, while at work. After getting them into Dodge Park, i can rest easy,they are well cared for, safe,and any issues that arise i am always kept in formed. Great staff, great facility, and the Owners Micha, and Ben are always available, great people.

Words cannot express my gratitude to the staff and management at Dodge Park Rest home. My husband Bob suffered from frontotemporal dementia, one of the more rare forms. When I came to Dodge to seek assistance with caring for my husband, you understood my situation immediately and worked closely with me to get to know Bob and his needs. We started slowly with Bob attending the Day Club at Dodge Park. Bob was exercising, baking, crafting, and doing things that he truly enjoyed. He made many new friends. I could tell it was special for him because he used to take special care in choosing his attire for his days at Day Club. As his dementia progressed and it became more difficult for Bob to function safely at home, we decided to make him a permanent resident at Dodge Park Rest Home. Bob was a happy guy and managed to entertain staff and residents with his joking, friendly flirting, and his kindness until the end of his days. Bob's continued happy demeanor is a tribute to the the staff who came to love Bob as much as I do. I'm so grateful to have found Dodge Park. I want to thank the staff and management for the care and best quality of life that my husband could have had during the course of his dementia. Thank you and bless you all. Pat M

At Dodge Park, my sister's needs are being met. Julia is naturally active and curious, and needs something to do. Good care, expert medical supervision, friendly, caring staff, good food, meticulous cleanliness, and memory care programs were important, and they are all there. We found a home for Julia where she can move about, keep what skills she has, maybe develop new ones, and make some new friends. As family, we entrusted her medical care to the conscientious staff of physicians and nurses who carefully supervise her medical care, and monitor her medications to assure that her individual needs are being met, and that her family is notified when changes are necessary. Spiritual care is also provided. Dodge Park remains Covid Free - the residents are safe and healthy. After two years, I can still attest that Dodge Park was the right decision.

My Mom is currently residing at Dodge Park in the memory unit. I cannot begin to say how grateful my family and I are with the amazing care & safety given to my Mom. They are taking every step every day to keep my Mom and the other residents safe against this horrible Covid-19 pandemic. My Mom already has received her vaccine. They have many wonderful programs 7 days a week to keep them involved, entertained and many other caring ways to make each them feel special. I am so grateful to know that my Mom is being well looked after 24/7. The entire staff works as a team to provide exceptional care throughout. The facility is super clean and up to date with technologies. I can sleep at night, knowing that my Mom is receiving amazing support and exceptional care. Thank you

My mother has been in the care of Dodge Park for a few years. I believe the entire staff treats the residents like family.She is well cared for, and they really seem to know her as a person. It has been very difficult with Covid, we have not been able to see her but as often as I call to see how she is doing they always make time from their busy day to talk with me . The facility is always clean, and they offered many activities to keep residents busy. Anyone who is making the difficult decision to put their loved one in a memory care facility, I would definitely recommend Dodge Park.

Dodge park is a great place for a person who has Alzheimer’s. My mom has been there over 4 years and it feels like home. The staff are phenomenal. They are friendly, professional, and kind to all. There are so many activities for the residents. They have music performers, animal supports dogs and exercise people who come in and engage the residents. The rooms are very spacious and clean. I can’t say enough about Dodge it’s like a home away from home. The overall atmosphere is great and the residents love the staff and are always engaged. It’s a wonderful place to have a loved one who has Alzheimer’s there very experiences and knowledgeable I’m so thankful I found such a wonderful place for my mom to live.

My mother has been a resident at Dodge Park Rest Home for more than 2 years. This facility is amazing. Every employee is well trained in strategies to interact with dementia patients. They make the residents feel comfortable and LOVED. The residents truly believe they are part of their family. The two owners of the facility were destined to take care of the elderly. It is their true calling. The administration only excepts the best from their employees. If you are looking for a safe place for your loved one, please check out this rest home. It is comforting to know that their is always someone there to hold my mother's hand or give her a much needed hug!

We recently place dad in the facility. Dad doing very well after 2 months. We had quite a road map in past year moving 3 different facilities until we found Dodge Park. Staff are amazing. Dad very happy. He enjoyed the meal very much and the activities. They are taking resident Healthcare in a very serious way due to the Covid pandemic.

This was a beautiful building when I visited. The staff seem very caring the residents well cared for and management was very attentive. I had dinner there and it was excellent

Right now, we're working with Dodge Park Rest Home for my mother. We're still working on the process. We weren't allowed in because of the COVID, so we could only meet outside. The outside of the facility looked very nice. The administrator that we talked to was very, very pleasant, and very helpful. Well, assisted living is ruled out. When I explained her level of care, he realized that also. We talked about the memory care unit and the rest home facilities as far as the level of care that my mother would receive there. The staff was absolutely wonderful. He has continued to follow up and he has been very supportive. Outstanding.

Dodge Park is a one of kind care facility with a unique community approach and truly compassionate caregivers. They have been providing my husband with outstanding advanced care, positive group stimulation, enjoyable activities, superb nutritious meals, and a clean, secure, and comfortable environment. We are so grateful to have found Dodge Park.

The owner worked with me on an expedite to admit my mother to a safe and appropriate enviornment. My mother has advanced Alzheimer’s, and is in absolute denial of the disease. My mother was most stubborn on leaving her home. And although she writes and calls 10 x per day she wants to go home, she became acclimated to Dodge Park after some professional coaching and coxing from the staff at Dodge Park. Now she looks at look at Dodge Park as her home away from home. I can’t put in words to convey how wonderful the staff is at Dodge Park. The Aides are amazing. The Nurses run Dodge Park better than most corporations. They engage with the residents from the time they awake to the time they go sleep. This is an active, engaged environment. Last, I came to learn from head nurses and directors of other memory care facilities, that the model of Dodge Park is unique, and they can’t match the around the clock medical staff and support offered by Dodge Park.

The staff at Dodge park are exceptional at taking care of the residents and always showing them love and kindness. They treat each and every resident like family. The building is very clean. There is a wide range of activities .

Bringing Life to Those We Serve - Dodge Park Motto The Dodge Park staff truly helps a person find joy in life. My ninety year old dad ran his home for two years, alone, after caring for my mom for many years. His emotions were paranoia, anger and sadness. He had outlived many of the people he knew and loved. His early impressions of Dodge Park living were, “They put my clean clothes away for me,” and “I can’t believe how much I eat: they serve me hot chocolate with whipped cream.” The staff talks with him, calls him by name, agrees with him, asks him what he wants, encourages him to be with them and the residents to socialize, and find ways to help him look forward to his day at Dodge Park. It has taken us, his family, time to believe that Dodge Park is really that good. It is very clean, the staff is hard working-constantly on their feet helping, and they warmly welcome us to the many activities and always have a meal for us so we can do what we always do with dad – sit and eat! Today, dad would like to learn the names of all of his Dodge Park family. He is no longer alone, he wants to be a part of the group, and I saw him smile yesterday, priceless. Dodge Park resident since April, 2019.

When my mother's dementia got to a point where she needed a safe place to live, we began the search to find a place that would care for her they way she deserved. After a failed attempt at that goal, we were referred to Dodge Park. It was a Godsent! The owners and staff there are the most compassionate and dedicated group you could ask for. My father visited with my mother everyday and he was able to observe and monitor her daily care and he would always come home feeling like Mom was is the best possible place we could give her. We are truly grateful for Dodge Park and the whole staff there. Thank you for all you do! If you are looking for a safe and caring "home" for a loved one, look no further. You have found the best in the area.

My mom move to Dodge Park from home. Living with me for most part. Mom can be restless and not sleeping at time. I convey my concerns to facility administrator and director of nursing during my meeting and they both seem very comfortable on having mom at Dodge Park. I was very worry if she will be able to care for as few nursing home I visited told me they might have a problem with mom. I have to say, that now after 3 months at Dodge it could not been better. The staff member are very attentive. I am getting a detail report on regular base in regard to mom behavior. I know that the reports are very honest. I might don't like to hear many of the details of what mom is doing but I know in my heart that this is mom. I am feeling very relax when leaving mom. I know she is in good hand. It is so refreshing to see owners like Ben and Mike so involve with resident care. If you have a mom or dad diagnosedwith dementia, Dodge Park is the place for them.

I am writing this review to offer my sincere appreciation for a wonderful program offered by Dodge Park and coordinated by Elaine. My mother has been a resident at Dodge Park for about 3½ years. She came to Dodge Park after first moving from her long-time home in Florida to an independent living facility, and then to Dodge Park. My sister and I moved our mother to Dodge Park when it became clear to us that her physical decline coupled with her dementia had progressed to such a point that she was no longer able to care for herself even with daily help in her independent living facility. While her physical decline was difficult to deal with, our mother had dementia that was slowly but surely robbing us of the mother we had known all of our lives. My sister lived in Colorado, which was an added difficulty. Because of the distance, she was not available on a daily basis to offer her support and to share the ever increasing burden of being there for our mother. It was during this time that I found the Alzheimer’s Support Group. The Alzheimer’s Support Group is a wonderful resource offered by Dodge Park not only for family members of the residents but also to families in the local community whose loved ones have Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Dodge Park sponsors the group and offers facilities for its meetings. The group is lead by Elaine, a social worker from the Jewish Family Service of Worcester. Elaine is a skilled social worker. One of the things that makes this group so special is Elaine’s welcoming manner. Her caring and nurturing manner helps create an environment where each person in the group knows that they can speak freely. She makes every effort to make sure that everyone who attends the group on any particular evening has their concerns and issues addressed. Elaine provides a forum where caregivers feel at ease to express their feelings and seek help and advice from Elaine and from other caregivers who have had similar experiences. Elaine and the other caregivers also provide information about resources available in the community that can help families in need. Some people attend each monthly meeting and others attend on a less regular basis. This mix of attendees continuously changes the group dynamic as well as the experiences, the concerns, and the issues discussed at each meeting. While we all know that Alzheimer’s is a devastating and deadly disease, at the beginning of each meeting, Elaine mentions to those who attend that it is OK to use humor to help alleviate the seriousness of their issues. Elaine always reminds caregivers that they must take care of themselves in order to have the strength and where-with-all to take care of their loved ones. As I mentioned, the group is fluid in that there can be different and/or new people coming each month. But due in large part to Elaine’s guidance and caring manner, one constant component in every meeting is the strong sense of comradery among the members. Each person in the group knows that everyone there is in this together and each participant provides support and compassion for each other. In this season of sharing and giving thanks, I want to thank Dodge Park for sponsoring the Alzheimer’s Support Group and thank Elaine for being our group leader. Having attended the Alzheimer’s Support Group for three years, I know that I and those who attend the Alzheimer’s Support Group are very thankful for this service that Dodge Park offers the family members of its residents and to the community at large. We are all thankful for and grateful to the group’s compassionate and caring facilitator, Elaine, who gives family members much needed strength to do what they need to do in order to care for their loved ones. The group meetings begin at 6:00 p.m. on the second Tuesday of each month. Prior to the start of the meeting at 5:30 p.m., a light supper is available for those who wish to arrive early and socialize before the meeting begins. Everyone who attends these meetings leaves feeling as if they are not alone in dealing with the kinds of issues they face and knowing that they have the caring support of the group behind them.

The best long term care facility you can find anywhere in New England. Unique model of dementia care in a very social environment. It is feel like an a very elegant hotel with the old spice and the care is amazing. They did bring our mother back to life.

One of a kind facility. Mom moved to Dodge Park after she was placed at a very expensive "dementia special" unit. What a bad experience. Luckily we found Dodge Park through a co-worker that her mother currently reside at Dodge Park. What a small world. The owners were amazing. Micha (one of the owners ) met with me with a short notice on Sat night and on Sun morning (next morning) we all went to visit mom. We truly found a partner for care. I can call both Micha and Ben anytime on their cell phone and they always available.
