Families emphasize how quickly their loved ones, and they themselves, sense comfort and belonging. The staff - beginning with Deb, the receptionist, all the way to Mary, the Facility Manager - are consistently praised for their compassion, training, and warmth. The people who work there know each resident by name and treat everyone with patience, respect, and dignity, creating an atmosphere where fear and hesitation give way to trust and ease.
The environment itself is repeatedly highlighted as a key strength. The facility is portrayed as clean, secure, and thoughtfully designed to be home-like rather than clinical. This sense of comfort is reinforced by everyday routines and spaces that invite participation and social interaction. Residents have access to meals, activities, and a large-screen TV in the living room, all of which contribute to a lived-in, homely feel. The overarching impression is that it's not just a place to live, but a community where daily life remains meaningful and engaging.
Several accounts emphasize the exceptional quality of care and the level of involvement with families. One family recounts Annie Donovan's four years as the first resident, noting that she received first-rate care from a staff that treated her with love and respect. They describe the facility as immaculate, with restaurant-quality food and a busy schedule of activities that are supported by both staff and volunteers. The Duxbury House is credited with guiding the family through the transition into memory care, ensuring Annie's needs and well-being remained the central focus.
Another perspective positions Duxbury House among the best memory care units on the South Shore. The description highlights a space that is not only physically well designed and decorated in soothing tones but also staffed by people who are carefully selected for their compassionate care. The environment is warm and genuine, and it is portrayed as one that consistently meets the needs of vulnerable residents and their families through dedicated teamwork and attentive service.
A third personal story centers on a mom who spent the last year and a half of her life at Duxbury House. The account stresses that the feel of the place matters as much as the physical space, noting the staff's remarkable compassion, patience, and sincerity in their attentiveness to each resident. The abundance of activities and the staff's ability to encourage participation and socializing are highlighted as defining features. The family expresses deep gratitude, sharing that their mom made lasting friendships and that they remain grateful for the care she received.
A family's experience with a grandmother who moved in during the summer further reinforces the positive impression. The transition was described as smooth, aided by an immediate engagement in activities as soon as they arrived. The activity directors are praised as amazing, and the residents enjoy outings to the Beach, movies, and ice cream, while daily in-house activities keep everyone engaged. The setting is described as small enough to offer one-on-one attention but large enough to provide plenty of opportunities for socializing. The facility's cleanliness and organization are noted, and the initial concern about feeling out of place due to Pembroke geography quickly dissolves as staff and residents welcome her warmly - an A+ experience.
Finally, another account centers on the practical and emotional relief provided to families when their parents move to Duxbury House. The staff are described as wonderful - caring, loving, good-humored, and attentive - especially in how they work with those living with dementia. The living areas, both private and communal, are portrayed as welcoming and beautiful, with a rich schedule of activities available for residents to choose from day by day. The food is said to be very good and well presented, and the atmosphere toward family members is described as welcoming and reassuring. Knowing that Mom and Dad are being cared for around the clock by such devoted people brings immense peace to families, and this assurance is repeatedly cited as one of the most meaningful aspects of choosing Duxbury House.
