Review

Mary Ann Morse is a senior living facility that has received mixed reviews from visitors. While many people praised the warm and homey atmosphere, as well as the engaging activities and caring staff, others felt that the facility was outdated and had limited communication between staff and families.

One visitor mentioned that Mary Ann Morse seemed old and worn looking, but still had a cozy feel to it. They were impressed by the activities in the memory unit and noted how engaged the residents were in programs. The spread-out layout of the facility was seen as both a positive factor for COVID safety and a slight inconvenience as it required navigating through multiple corridors.

Another reviewer noticed that the community consisted mostly of older residents, which may not appeal to younger seniors seeking more diverse social interactions. Communication with staff was said to be lacking, with nurses being responsive but management being less so.

Overall, impressions of the facility were generally positive. Visitors appreciated the cleanliness of the rooms and common areas, as well as the friendly and warm nature of the staff members they encountered. However, some felt that the rooms were small and not ideal for their loved ones' needs.

The quality of meals served at Mary Ann Morse became a point of contention for one reviewer, who expressed disappointment in recent deterioration. However, this concern was acknowledged during a resident conference, with promises made to improve food quality. Other than that issue, this individual found no other major concerns with the facility or its staff.

Another resident expressed satisfaction with Heritage's amenities, such as exercise classes and concerts held on-site. They commended the attractive rooms and dining area, as well as the outstanding staff who were informative and caring.

The Director of Marketing, Lynne Canavan, was specifically praised for her welcoming and knowledgeable demeanor. She took the time to understand individual needs and showed a genuine interest in the comfort and satisfaction of residents. The facility's activity calendar was also highly regarded for offering something for everyone, including trips outside the facility and various daily activities.

As a whole, Heritage at Framingham appeared to leave a positive impression on visitors. Its comfortable layout, cleanliness, and engaging atmosphere were complimented by several reviewers.
