I had an in-person tour of Harvard Square Retirement and Senior Living. They offered their dining room services from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. They didn't have a two-bedroom apartment available. The staff was great, very pleasant to work with, and patient with my parents. They had a library, an exercise room, a beauty salon, a rec room, and a pool.

We're very happy with Harvard Square Retirement and Senior Living. My mother's really happy there. Everything seems to be upkept. They're in the middle of renovation so things are being redone. I've talked to people that said that they've talked to her and I haven't heard her this happy in over a year and a half, which is great news, because it's a hard decision to make to move a parent into an assisted living facility. You never know whether it's the right decision or not, and it definitely has turned out to be for my mom. The staff is very attentive, trying to get her to interact and participate, letting her know when things are available. The staff is very caring and always there to answer questions and help.
Her room is great. It's not too big, but she has enough room for personal effects and no stove, which is exactly what we wanted. It has a refrigerator and a microwave, which is perfect. The ADA bathrooms are great. The doorways are wide enough for wheelchairs. It's a good layout. They have all kinds of stuff. She's gone to a Rockies game, which she loved. She's going to a German restaurant next week called Helga's. She plays bingo a lot, and she likes the happy hour. She participates in quite a few of the activities. She likes the religious groups they have there and has participated in those. They're very kind and attentive.

My mom has been here for 8 months now. She is happy and settled in. Loves her apartment and is happy she made the move. She is close to us now so we can visit more and take her out. It is a smaller facility so she feels right at home and has easily learned her way around. I am happy if she is happy and so far it is good.

My dad lives at Harvard square, and I am happy with my decision. He is happy, he likes the daily exercise classes and the Executive Director listens, cares and is very responsive. Feels like a family here. The food is delicious, and they made my dad a birthday cake and made him feel special, good people here

My dad has been in Harvard Square Retirement and Senior Living for less than a month now. He is happy there, and he is doing well. They are friendly, very competent, and made it really easy for us to get my father to move in.
He loves the staff and the food is good too. They have exercise classes. He plays cards. They play movies for them and other activities. It seems to be a really social place, and they really invite their people to be a part of the group activities. They have a personal car if you have a specific thing you'd like to do or they can take you on a bus as they offer activities outside the facility, which are good as well.

My father is in Harvard Square. We toured it a month ago. We moved him in just last week. They are very nice. The rooms are very nice and very clean. The staff has been awesome. His apartment has a bedroom, a kitchenette, a living room, and a study. It's quite big. There are one-bedroom, two-bedroom, and studios. They have exercise classes, bingo, and a happy hour on Thursdays. They have a library, a huge courtyard with a big walking path behind the facility, a beauty shop, and a workout room. They also have physical therapists if they needed to do mobility. It's a very nice facility.

We have chosen Harvard Square for dad, but he hasn't moved in yet. The facility was really nice. The guy who helped us was extremely helpful. He gave us a really thorough tour. We ended up having some financial problems, and he was able to work out a really good deal with us as well.
The rooms were really nice. We liked that the one-bedrooms have a full fridge. They had a lot of activities. We did a lot of virtual tours with the other places, but this was the only facility both virtual tour and in-person where we actually saw people kind of hanging out outside of the rooms (which was kinda nice). That gave us the sense that people weren't isolated.
I tried the food, and it was really good. Everybody there was really nice. I'm actually vegan, and they actually had vegan options, which was kinda cool. That's really unusual at any type of place. They had homemade chickpea burgers, so I was really impressed.

Beware! Talking with several people before moving in my mother, I SPECIFICALLY asked about levels of care and care as she became weaker physically. They talked about tier or care level 4 which would be TOTAL CARE. I asked more questions about this and they assured me that it is "TOTAL CARE" BUT, when my mom was in the hospital, a nurse came out to re-assess my mom, and they felt she needed two people to transfer her and they would not accept her back at the facility. I called repeatedly and left messages (both with the receptionist and voice mail with specific individuals) and after several days, not one call has been returned. They are very happy to take your non-refundable fee of $1500 up front, but OMIT very important information about levels of care provided for residents. If I would have been told the answer to my questions (without omitting the BIG fact that total care does NOT include two person transfers, I would not have moved my mom i n there in the first place!!!! Summary - they are happy to take your money, but no service afterwards. Aides who provide care - there were a few good ones, but most did the bare minimum. On multiple occasions, my mom would wait in the bathroom for help over 20 minutes before I went in to help her. Then there were times when an aide never showed up at all after ringing the call light.

Harvard Square's rooms were fine. The dining room was fine, and the food was good. The only thing we didn't like about it was when you walked outside it was like being in the middle of New York City. There were tall buildings all around, so from that perspective, we didn't like it so much. The building was old -- about 30 years old. It was spruced up a bit, but you can tell it was old. The rooms were adequate, clean, painted, and in good shape. The hallways were a little bit dark. There were just a few things that were unacceptable.

They have very confident personnel at Harvard Square, a very nice dining room, and good food. The room looks nice and normal. They have many activities. It was the right place for my friend. They have good-sized units in a decent location.

We found what we wanted and right where we wanted it at Harvard Square, so I’m giving it a try. I think I’m going to love it. They’re very adamant about fulfilling your needs. One of the things I like about it is the way they do their dining area. I’ve been in some of these with my in-laws two years ago, and I know they don’t all do it this way. Here, they have café tables, and if you don’t want to go down, they’ll bring your dinner to you, but they try to have you eat downstairs close to the food preparation. The food was excellent. They have a chef that cooks it, and he keeps it going every day. You get a menu of choices. My room is exactly what I wanted and never thought I would have the chance to get in in a facility like that. It’s everything I expected and more.

I put my father in Harvard Square last May. I am very pleased. The staff interacts well with him, answers all the questions he has, and responds if he has an issue. The room is small, but everything is well maintained. I am impressed so far, and I do not have any complaints. It appears to me that they have a lot to offer. My dad hasn't partook on any of it; I'd like to see him do that, but at 91, he is a little reluctant. I am trying to make him involved. I think it will be good for him, but he gets tired easily.

My mother-in-law stayed in assisted living when she died because she basically had a respiratory (it’s kind of like pneumonia) type of thing, and it took her quickly. We utilized two assisted living facilities; the first one that we went to was Harvard Square. She was only there for one week, and I would say their care was fair to good. I think my mother-in-law needed more help than we had anticipated, so it was not their fault. They were in the midst of starting the place -- new carpets, new painting and stuff -- because it did look a little dated. Physical appearance is good; it’s just that they hadn’t done any wallpaper and painting that kind of stuff for a couple of years. The staff seemed pretty appropriate and approachable. The facility was close to the highways, so it’s easily accessible, and there were a couple small shopping places around.

Harvard Square is a close-knit community. I visited this facility for my parents. Their independent and assisted living units are all under one facility but they're in different floors. They also have very clean and nice-sized living quarters. In terms of staff, they have a nurse available from 6 am to 6 pm and they also have a doctor on-call. They offer a lot of activities that would encourage interactions amongst their residents, which is nice. They have a very good system wherein if residents were to go anywhere, they would have to sign them out where they are going, how they're getting there, and then, they would sign them back in when they come back. They have late afternoon system wherein they make sure their residents are in their rooms, make sure they haven't fallen, and make sure they're okay.

Harvard Square was probably the most reasonably priced, and it is close to our home for my father. The staff is very good. They're doing a good job. The rooms are fine and the food is good. We're really happy with them.
