Beautiful and Sincere Staff
This facility has been incredible for my family and I am so grateful for all the care that my family was tended to. The facility is absolutely phenomenal with the fact that there are so many activities that my family was able to attend to every single day. They never complained about being bored either. Golden Pond offers a wonderful variety of different options when it comes to the diets and food choices as well.

Golden Pond Memory Care in Hopkinton for my wife
My wife has been a resident at Golden Pond's Assisted Living facility in Hopkinton MA for 16 months, with the last year being in their third floor memory care. I could not be more pleased with the caring and effort the staff has given to my wife in her journey through dementia. This includes all the staff from the top down. They all know her name and treat her as a person of worth. They also are kind and compassionate to myself and my whole family as we try to understand and deal with a range of emotions we go through every day in trying to make our beloved family member as comfortable and happy as possible. I would (and have) recommended Golden Pond to everyone. They have been a Golden find for me!!

Stay far away
I have lived in the town for many years and I have been following the bad news I often hear within the community from bad care, to the inability to care for the residents they accept to incompetent management and greed. I would stay away from this facility and in fact many townspeople are pleased that they were recently told they cannot accept any new residents from the state regulatory agency until they right the many wrongs that were found on a recent audit. They have made enough money and scammed enough good people out of their retirement funds and I would never for one minute place my elderly parents anywhere near Golden Pond. It’s not so “golden” believe me.

my comments about Golden Pond
To move here, it would be the difference in who can do what. The facility desperately needs HAC fixed. Apartment sizes will depend on what amount of belongings a resident will bring here.

Helpful management who toured us.
My husband and I were assisting with selecting a place for my step daughter's mother. Golden Pond's staff who assisted us had the skill set we felt best fit our needs. People were very helpful in assisting with the admission.

I would give the tour experience with Golden Pond a -5 if I could. Place was disgusting, rude staff, smelled bad, pushy director. Memory care was not toured, like they were hiding things from me.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.

Frequently Asked Questions
about Golden Pond

Golden Pond offers Studio, 1 Bedroom, 2 Bedrooms and Semi-Private. Learn more.

A Place for Mom has scored Golden Pond 8.2 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.

Call (508) 435-1250 to reach a resident at Golden Pond.
