Lasell Village

Before signing a contract and making a deposit at Lasell Village, carefully read the fine print. When you (or your parent) leave, they can hold on to your deposit indefinitely--until they find another tenant. The marketing department will tell you they have a long waiting list. But it can take months or even years, during which time they can hold on to potentially hundreds of thousands of dollars. They may (or may not) offer you an estimate of when they expect to fill your spot and refund your money but they will n…

In our family's experience (13 years with our mom as a resident), there are two Lasell Villages: The first is the "front line" staff who are exceptional: dedicated, caring and always willing to go the extra mile. The second is the leadership who--we learned after an accident that could have been avoided had the property safety protocols been in place--have misplaced priorities. Lasell Village has many positive attributes to offer but the president and board have changed the direction from a cohesive …

The surroundings are nice and it is clean. That's the only thing good about it. The staff is non-responsive. My Dad, 90 years old and legally blind, fell out of bed 3 times (we had told them he needed the bed alarmed for this reason and they ignored us).

The staff was not responsive when you pressed the call button and they were also very rough when trying to reposition my Dad. Within 3 days of being there, we had to take him…

I am/was a resident of this facility

My Husband and I have been residents at Lasell Village for three years and constantly tell anyone how happy we are to have made the decision to make the Village our home. The residents value the intellectual environment that exists through discussions and classes that we take. The Village is a very friendly and casual place to live.
