I visited this facility

Norris Square is the second one we put my husband's name on because it had that feeling of caring, and there were people that were actually doing things. They were not just sitting there staring. We saw a group of women playing some game with somebody, and they were laughing and having a good time. They knew everyone's name in their memory care. We really liked it. It was very comfortable and very welcoming. There were things for the people to do. The facility was very nice, all kept up, and modern. There…

The staff at Norris Square are Amazing! The sense of care and kindness seeps into everything they do and the staff they hire. My mom was there for 3 years and she felt part of the community, loved the activities. They took care of mom through all her ups & downs of her health. They knew her well and she felt loved. When hospice was brought in seamlessly, the staff continued to treat mom and family with respect and kindness. As a social worker for 40 years I believe that this is a wonderful unique care provider.…

My father has been in Memory Care at Norris Square for several years. He is generally happy, but with his dementia he is also sometimes confused, anxious, or doesn't want to be helped. But the staff has been great with him. Between my sister and me, and other friends, we keep a good eye on him and have been impressed with the assistance and attempts to keep residents entertained, fed and clean. It's a tough job taking care of individuals with dementia , but I don't see frustration, anger or neglect o…

Norris Square was very nice. My mom was there for five years (not always in memory care). I was there two or three times a week. I never ever saw anything there that made me question anything about the kindness and the goodness of the staff or the cleanliness. The people there really loved what they're doing and do a really good job. The last time I physically was in there was about a year and a half ago. I visited a friend then. They have church and Bible studies. They have a library, and they have a movie th…

We chose to move my dad into Norris Square because of their security. Rooms that were better insulated against the weather, and the amenities were more updated. The move-in process went great. We did not have any problems with it. The staff seemed friendly and attentive too. I like the 24 hour security, the cleanliness, and the up-to-dateness of the facility. They also have yoga classes, a movie theater, exercise classes, cards, bingo, trivia, and all that stuff. He is selective with the food so far. He likes some …

I visited this facility

I will give Norris Square the highest rating possible. I love everything about it. I would highly recommend it. The staff is always helpful and friendly, and the food is wonderful. Residents can go and eat anytime they want, which is nice. The residents were playing Bingo when we were touring. There was another room where one of the residents was having a small birthday party with family. They have daytrips, watch movies, and go to different church services. They have a large library and a chapel. The memory care t…
