high staff turnover

Disappointed in the turnover of administrative staff. There is an incredible turnover in the kitchen weight staff. Transportation has been an issue but lately it's been better they need to improve their efficiency running the building

Need more staff and activities

They are short-staffed, the Activities Director quit within 4 weeks of us coming there, food is good not great, room is somewhat small, and my mother fell repeatedly and broke a rib and vertebrae. It took them a month to increase her level of supervision despite her requiring hospitalization within the first week there, which increases our cost by [amount removed] They asked us to pay for a caregiver to be with her and then didn't like our caregiver. Not many activities to do there, my mother is bored... we put her

Our families experience

I'm going to be honest here communication with the director is lacking. We love the new activities Director she's fantastic but she has to do way too many things. Their transportation is a big issue because if they have known to drive the activities Director has to leave and do the driving. And they spoke about offering another day for medical appointments and they never came through with that. And then the dining hall is just so inconsistent they cannot handle a full occupancy which they pretty much are at we've b

The Residence at Natick South

My mom is in memory care. Most of the staff are friendly and kind, and the director is experienced and caring. But the staff to resident ratio could be better and the communication overall is lacking. The facility is newer construction and nice, but the memory care wing is limited in where residents can go. Independent and assisted living residents may have a better experience.

Review for The Residence at Natick South

Beginning process was ready to be easy I feel like the issue of staffing and scheduling for home health aides was not great. The first month to six weeks was really quite hit or miss with the service we were not getting responses back from the director or the nursing staff which made it difficult to help my parents transition. The dining room has been really great they're not completely fully staffed but the people who work there are wonderful and my parents have been happy with the food. One thing that kind of is

I like it much more than I ever thought I would or could like any such facility. Very pleasantly surprised.

It's new and clean with very nice staff and residents. The food is very good, especially compared to the previous place I lived. The activities are very good, but it's hard to please everyone. I live in Independent living and the care is fine. My apartment is spacious and bright. Administration could be a little more responsive, but that's very likely not the fault of local mgmt., but rather home office fiats. I'm happy here in this very pretty facility. I have my car, new friends and everything I need. Of course i
