Arbors of Hop Brook

The staff is first rate all around. I had a two bedroom apt which was 1000 sq ft. Well laid out. There are a lot of activities and if you would like to you can start one. They have a varied menu every dinner.

I visited this facility

I went to look at the assisted living facility of Arbors of Hop Brook for my mother. The price was the best of any I've seen, and that was the top reason that I liked it. The amenities inside were less updated, so it looked a little bit older, but the room itself was very nice and very up-to-date. The reason I wouldn't use them would be because of the limitations on bringing my mother to the meals. I've learned that certain places have different licensing, and that limits some of the things they can …

A Great Place with Awesome People!

The Arbors at Hop Brook is a wonderful place with awesome administration and care staff, and very nice, affordable, and comfortable apartments. My Sister had many health issues. She began with independant living, but soon required more assistance. The Arbors was just what she needed, with many levels of care available based on her needs. What really impressed me is how they now have 24 hour nursing and aid staff on site at all times, as well as the front desk cocierge team member. All of the staff are so kind, atte…

Our Mom found her new 'Home!

So the staff is amazing. My Mom loves her apt and all of the activities that they offer. It is also an older community, but very clean/spotless! The only thing that could use improvement is the food. Some meals are really good, and some, not so much!

Nice retirement community

Very friendly staff, very approachable. Only one meal per day covered in monthly "rent", but that keeps the cost down somewhat. I've only seen my dad's apartment, which is a studio. But it's bigger than studios I have seen in other facilities. It has 2 rooms (plus bathroom and kitchenette) but no door between bedroom and living room so not considered 2 separate rooms. Also, has woods on 2 sides, so not much traffic sounds. Good walking paths.
