According to my mom, The food service is not very good. Over the last several months there has been some cost cutting measures that have affected the food service.
The activities director was let go some time ago and has not been replaced with someone who measured up to her. Mom says after she left, activities have really dropped off. She also thinks morale is down a bit.

Review for The Residence at Whitcomb House
A big selling point for them was not having "tiers of care" and different prices. Unfortunately, the one level of care they do have is not what our loved one deserves, and needs.

October 20, 2023
Sue, we always appreciate those who take the time to share their experiences with our community. We love working with families to provide compassionate service and an environment that supports the needs of our residents. Our community carefully details what our all-inclusive care provides and sees it as a wonderful benefit to help families budget for assisted living. While not able to provide the enhanced level of care your family member needed and more commonly found in a skilled nursing setting, we do hope that the help we extended provided a measure of guidance in your search.

Our Experience
I would say that the leaders and staff know their jobs, and do make an effort to provide a comfortable environment for the residents. It appears to be best suited to residents who have some degree of autonomy. Seems a little pricey now since new management took over a few months ago and prices increased.

Review of Whitcomb House
We decided to go with Whitcomb House because of the professionalism of [name removed] , the cleanliness of the facility and the use of the PACE program for financial and medical assistance. No other facility provided the guidance and assistance with both the financial and medical aspects. We were able to relocate my father from Maine to MA in just 1.5 weeks during a pandemic. We truely could not have moved him that quickly and smoothly at any other facility. For that we are thankful!

I couldn't be at a better place! [name removed], "our leader" is a super person administrator! We are one of few who haven't had any cases of the virus! He also is attentive to residents' mental health. He surrounds himself with knowledgeable people to answer to our needs. From the kitchen to walks, activities are mentally stimulating. His door is always open. He's open to feedback. My son's "daughter" in Law have no worries about me. Have peace of mind now that I am here!

I am very grateful for the level of care that Whitcomb House and executive director [name removed] provide to my family member. I felt this way even before the coronavirus pandemic. They are the first-class facility and take great pride in providing excellent care. Additionally, they have managed to keep my family members safe during this health crisis and Whitcomb House has sent out daily emails to reassure us. I feel very fortunate that my family member is a resident of Whitcomb House.

Review of Whitcomb House
The dedication and commitment of the Whitcomb Gouse (WH) team is amazing. Their commitment to keeping all residents healthy and engaged during this pandemic is unsurpassed. WH took the initiative early in March, well before State and Federal guidance were issued, to quarantine and discontinue outside visitors; while this measure seemed drastic at the moment it provided to be lifesaving. To date, there have been no cases of COVID at WH. The WH team was selves in their commitment to keeping residents safe and limited their own contact with the others to ensure they remained healthy and safe to provide care to residents. The WH team was creative and innovative in keeping residents and families engaged and in contact. Daily email and Facebook updates, video calls, well through our car parades, outside visits with detailed stay safe precautions. Visitation precautions have relaced a bit to allow families in-room visits with loved ones however it is clean WG continues to be on alert and ready to be proactive to change the pandemic landscape.. Whitcomb House is truly a five-star community.

Review of Whitcomb House
Whitcomb staff (from top to bottom) have been great, especially under the current circumstances. Being in this line of business must be tough for all of the staff during these times and they continue to go above and beyond. The majority have a sense of responsibility to not only their residents but to the families; they do a great job of keeping the lines of communication open. I thank them for all they do!! (The only reason I did not give them 5 stars is that in my opinion, with anything one does, there is always room to do more or do better. This by no means is a negative rating it just leaves the door open to do even more good things!!)

Whitcomb House could improve on communication surrounding my father's care. They did a poor job with managing on any type of health needs. My father's own doctor has said she is frustrated with the lack of communication on the part of the community staff. For example, during the Covid-19 pandemic, it has been a nightmare. My father who is blind and deaf has been unable to leave his small room for several weeks. He was stationary for so long it was becoming detrimental to his health. They have not done a good job with communicating about about what they are doing to prevent the spread of Covid-19. They have only recently required staff to wear masks or protective gear; other communities have did so a while ago. I ask them to check on him and they say they are, but based on what my father is telling me, they do not seem to actually be doing so. We are also not allowed to see him at all and they have done little to accommodate for social distancing guidelines. Even before Covid-19, I had to request they come in and clean his restroom as they were not actively cleaning it when it needed.
If you cannot advocate for yourself, it is not a good place.

Clean, warm, cozy and so peaceful and quiet. I liked this facility very much. Pricing is good compared to others. My only hesitation is the lack of a memory care unit. I worry if my mother's dementia worsens that she may have to be moved again. I am still seriously considering this facility, though, because of how clean it is. Spotless attention to detail.

Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment.
