Pleasant Experience

Everyone is nice and welcoming. They made the process easy. They were very accessible. I would recommend it to others. My dad is happy and finds the food enjoyable.

I visited this facility

I toured Susan Bailis Assisted Living. It's centrally located in downtown Boston, and its facilities are clean and well-maintained. The units are small, and the prices are high for the area. The staff was great. They seemed close to the residents.

Wonderful place right in Boston

5 across the board- The staff are all very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately, my mom needs memory care now and we have to move her. I wish she could have stayed at SB longer.

our families experience

My review of Susan Bailis is excellent. [name removed] , the. Exec Dtr, [name removed] & [name removed], the nurse were all so helpful. [name removed]went above & beyond his responsibility to help & keep Sheila there. Unfortunately, she was not well enough to live there for more than a week & ended up back in the hospital/rehabs several times. I would highly recommend Susan Bailis as a most desirable place to live.

A Great New Home for Mom

My Mom is a resident at Susan Bailis Assisted Living Community and everything has been good for her at this facility so far. The staff is very friendly and diverse and helpful if there is an issue. The housekeeping is consistently good and unobtrusive. The facility was extremely helpful in the moving process, contacting the previous facility and facilitating arrangements wherever possible. They were also very helpful in preparing the necessary paperwork required in an interstate move. I would recommend Susan Bailis…

I visited this facility

I went to see Susan Bailis Assisted Living and a nice person showed us around. It's in a wonderful neighborhood, it's very appealing to be in the city where they are. But the facility itself was tired-looking. They had a bit of a flood and there had been a bit of a fire, so they're fixing up some problems. The rooms were small, the furniture was tired-looking, and some of the residents sort of looked like they came from the homeless shelter. The feeling when you come into an assisted living place, if…
