My mother needed more help than I could give her at home, so called Overlook as they are very close. 2 phone messages to Catherine over 3 days were not returned. Finally got Marie, who treated us like we were a bother and was less than friendly. We are private pay with plenty of assets so you think they would be interested. Is this how they treat patients, with avoidance and haughtiness? This left a very bad taste, so found a alternative facility that was warm and inviting and cancelled our appointment with Overlook, much to their relief, I am sure. Can't be bothering the admin staff, oh no

The only facility of those that were presented to me by Caring.com that was appropriate for my needs was The Overlook Life Community in Charlton, MA. I’m very independent and do not need the intensive support that is offered by the other places recommended to me by Caring.com. I am looking for a care retirement community where I can live independently in an apartment and if ever needed then assisted living or skilled nursing would be available to me. Overlook is a wonderful place and I highly recommend it for consideration. The community is located a little further from my family than I would like. However, I am keeping it on my list because it is a very nice retirement community. I did go back for a second visit. The apartments are very nice, comfortable and updated - and it has a few separate cottages. The amenities, services and the food options are wonderful. Overlook has a full array of social activities, clubs, a crafting study (plus other facilities), an excellent fitness center with a trainer and a pool. I only wish it was a little closer to family. I am continuing to consider it as an option for my retirement.

The staff is extremely helpful at The Overlook. The rooms are all private rooms, which was a big bonus. The biggest thing -- although they are expensive -- is that they do take Medicaid after the money is gone, so that is nice. I would absolutely recommend this place to anybody. They have a dining room, and I have eaten there. It's like going to a restaurant. They have a waiter that takes your order, and they bring the food to you at the table. The menu is extensive. There must be 15 items on the menu everyday plus specials. It's like being in a resort.

The Overlook actually has the selection that I need, based on the fact that it's a multiple community of services within the facility. It is not just assisted living. If a person needed to have more assisted living as she declines with her dementia, which is really pretty much at the bottom almost, she can. She is self-sufficient as far as showering and personal care, but that’s not going to stay that way; it’s going to become maybe less and less. The reason why I chose this facility is that it involves various levels of care, and I think anybody who is shopping for something like that under those conditions, it’s absolutely necessary. If you’re assisted living, change, as far as the patient is concerned, you have to relocate that patient, and there’s a lot of stuff to get into another facility.
The facility is beautiful, and I took a tour with the concierge, who is the individual who actually explains what’s available by level of care and how you can transition from one area to another. For the level you’re going into there’s a different price. There are bungalows and condos, and the place is really gigantic. I don’t know how they're gonna find people, as people with dementia walked out the door, but they have adequate staff
