I visited this facility

My sister is going into a studio in Fenno House. It provides all the services that she doesn't have right now. It's also located in an area where you can walk and go to shops. There's the South Shore, and there is the ocean that is not that far away. It has activities for the seniors. It serves two meals a day: lunch and dinner. They also provide different bus services for different things. So, it's so much more than what she has right now. The staff was very professional. They knew their busine…

Family experience

My dad doesn't care too much for the food, so I find myself doing a lot of Uber Eats to satisfy his appetite. While Fenno House is on the lower end for pricing in the area, you get what you pay for. Yes, I would recommend. The monthly cost is fair since my dad has his own apartment. Other facilities in the area charge Fenno's monthly cost for a shared unit.

We've had an excellent experience and my 87 yo aunt who lived alone in a 7 room house 4 blocks away has not been so happy engaged or well nourished in years. Fenno is outstanding! I haven't a lot of time but I brought Fenno to you so you should look at what resources are closer to residents homes. And they've not declined a single request.

Fenno House is OK. The people were very nice. The rooms were nice. The building is a little bit old. There is some construction going on in front of the building. The staff who accommodated me was very friendly and answered questions. The rooms were okay. They were clean, but it's kind of old in there and it needs to be updated in my opinion. We saw the dining area and that was fine. The staff was very nice and very helpful.

There is nothing fancy about Fenno House. But the care that is giving to their residents is outstanding. CNA and nursing are very attentive and caring. Remodel being done at the present time, will give a much needed update. Rooms are very clean. Activities are inclusive for all who want to participate.
