My impression during the visit to Brookdale Cushing Park was fine. It just didn't speak to me as well as the one we chose for my mom. They have a beautiful garden with a nice layout. They had very accommodating staff because they gave me all kinds of samples of food to take to my mom for her to try. I was pretty impressed by that. I was late because I got lost. and they didn't give me a hard time about that, even though they had to reorganize their schedule a little bit to give me a tour. So I appreciated that.

My impression of the tour we had at Brookdale Cushing Park was positive. The place was clean and neat, and the people were professional. The layout was spacious. It's spread out, almost a little too spread out but it was alright. They had a beauty shop and they had a walking path.

My mother has been in Brookdale Cushing Park for over four years now, and she loves the people there, but she needs additional assistance than she can get in assisted living. The overall experience was excellent, the people were wonderful, and they would help however they could. She loves the food, she loves the chef there, Mike. They had meetings where all the residents could meet with Mike, and tell him what they'd like to see on the menu. They're very, very accommodating to the residents. The building is very nice, they just finished redoing it with the fireplace and everything else, we did the country kitchen, so they keep up with their premises, and you got the Cushing park where it's nice to watch people walking even if you can't walk. They have a beauty salon there, they have a podiatrist come in, they have chair exercises every morning, trivia, and I think once a week they do the news type thing where they all sit down and discuss that. She's blind and deaf, so it's a little difficult for her to participate in all the other things like bingo and all that stuff, but they do that, they take them out on bus rides, around like in the Fall to see the leaves, and they do have quite a few different musicians come in and play. That's what she enjoyed the most when they could have people come in and play the old songs. For COVID where nobody could do anything they did a video, one of their people is a semi-professional dancer, she and her husband danced, and they did a video dancing to the Christmas music, so they do quite a bit for their people.

Brookdale Cushing Park had a very nice presentation. It's a nice place. The staff looked friendly and professional. The rooms seemed very nice. They had a dining area, a religious service area, a common area, and a place for fitness and movies. The atmosphere seemed very pleasant.

Brookdale Cushing Park would have been my second choice. I liked the facility. It's in the middle of the park so the outside was just absolutely beautiful, and really nice. They have a library, and the dining room and living area are beautiful, with beautiful furniture and amenities, but no one is there. They're empty. The residents were in their room or sitting outside. The staff was great, the dining area looked like a restaurant, somebody was getting a haircut at the salon, and they were playing bingo.

Brookdale Cushing Park has only two meals daily and assigned dinner seating. It has a $3,250 buy-in and you have 1-bedrooms and cottages. It was nice. I had an appointment, but the person I was supposed to meet was not available, so a young lady took us around, but she didn't have all the answers we had. The staff was good except for not having the real guide available. Other than that, it was fine.

Brookdale was very nice. We went to their cookout. We were also given a tour around the building and saw one of the apartments, the dining room, the gym, and the theater. We saw some of the activities that were available, which were very nice. The people were very good. I wasn't aware that the rooms would be so small. Other than that, they look good. The dining room looked like they were all set up for dinner. I think there were four place settings at each table. I don't know how many tables, but they looked very nice. They had a bus that would take you shopping around the area. The area looked very nice. I liked the grounds a lot. It looked like there was a brook or body of water and walking area.

We are looking to possibly move to Brookdale Cushing Park. The food looks lovely; I had dinner there. I think it is a community atmosphere. The maintenance is on a par, and there are a lot of places to sit. In the lobby, the residents are offered ginger ale or wine to drink while sitting around, which is very nice. They are treated like adults there.

Brookdale Cushing Park is assisted living, and the staff is very nice, but I feel that the director and the corporate people are not very in touch with what's going on. The people that have worked there are wonderful, but I wouldn't rate the administrative people very high. The rooms are average. It's not fancy, but it's clean. The closets are horribly small so don't bring any clothes. I couldn’t believe how small the closets were. The living areas are a little small but manageable. The dining room is very nice, and there are a lot of choices for meals. The chef is excellent, knows everybody's names, and is personable. He bakes cookies in the afternoon and delivers them to everybody. The staff is nice. I just feel they're not managed well by the administrative people.

Brookdale Cushing Park (formerly Emeritus at Farm Pond Campus) is excellent. We've only been here a little over three weeks, but it has reached my expectations. The meals have been good. I'm happy. They have an exercise room here that I use every day. They have some musical programs, games, movies, etc. I have a private apartment that is acceptable, not fancy or anything, but has everything I need.

I am the daughter of a resident, and I am very disappointed that my mother cant continue to have the housekeeper she has known for while and got to trust. Housekeepers at brookdale, from what I understand are under paid for the responsibilities and jobs well done at the Oaks bldg. My mother is paying for a service she's not getting from the other housekeeper she was assigned to. In my opinion that's not appropriate professional behavior the residents and their families are the number one priority!!

I do not recommend the memory impaired ALF at all. They advertise their safe and secure environment however that is not the case. My family member was able to get out as the doors are easily opened with instructions posted. Their resolution was for me to pay to have someone stay with my family member at my cost in addition to the ALF fees. Not sure how that is my problem? They also are unable to handle any behaviors that may come up including confusion, sundowning etc which is extremely common in someone with dementia. We put my family member here for them to provide care which was not available by this facility. Find another location as staff here are not willing to work with you at all or take responsibility for their lack of staff and security.

What I like about Emeritus at Farm Pond was that it was rural. Ironically, what my mother didn't like about it was that it was rural. In the past, they had problem with recording and stuff and they got scolded by the state, but they did say that they had it corrected. In terms of cleanliness, there was nothing bad about the smell. For activities, I think they offered just about everything that everybody else did. Food was fine. There was enough variety of food. Service was also fine.

My mother has moved to Emeritus at Farm Pond. The place is very nice. My mother gets medication, assistance, and she likes the food. Everything is moving along. I like that this facility is convenient to where I live and the staff seems very good.

I called Emeritus and their customer service transferred me to Caring.com. The latter then helped set up a tour for me. I met a woman there and she was very pleasant and helpful. She discussed things with me in her office. I thought that outside, the environment was very beautiful. Inside, it looked nice as well.

We had a visit at Emeritus at Farm Pond and it was great. Everybody was so polite and so helpful. They gave me phone numbers which I can call. Everything looks so nice and beautiful. The area was very clean and very quiet.

I loved Emeritus. The rooms were spacious and they had a living room with a separate bedroom. I really liked how the windowsills are really deep that you could put decorations and pictures there. The rooms are very bright with big windows and it was very cheerful. Ed, the one who toured us was very patient, he didn't rush us or anything but he showed us everything and answered all our questions. The commute in going to Framingham, however was a nightmare. I would recommend this place to anybody.

I visited several assisted living facilities and was most impressed by Farm Pond's consistent attention to detail and their responsiveness to my numerous questions that the staff entertained even before I settled my father in here. The center had different levels of care based on patient needs. It was always clean and never smelled of urine. And when I visited unannounced, could not catch the staff mistreating or ignoring any patients. For my fathers condition, the day was well-structured to include nutritious meals, stretching, mild to moderate exercise, crafts that included motor skills as well as sequencing activities, games, music, and daily bus trips. They allowed small pets and welcomed visitors at any time day or night. The bedrooms were spacious and the layout for the Alzheimer patients was mirrored so that they never felt they "went the wrong way." They also communicated frequently with me on my Dad's day to day outlook and condition. My overall impression of this facility was positive and I would recommend it highly.
