    Review

    The Lodge at Ives Hill is an enriched assisted living community that provides exceptional care for its residents. Located adjacent to an independent living community, it offers a range of services with a focus on care and individual needs. The community prides itself on maintaining cleanliness and providing spacious apartments for its residents. However, it's important to note that the apartments come unfurnished, so residents need to bring their own furniture, towels, and sheets.

    The staff at The Lodge at Ives Hill are friendly and provide excellent care to the residents. All necessary assistance is included in the monthly cost, ensuring that residents receive the support they need without any additional charges. While the breakfast and lunch options are satisfactory according to one reviewer, dinner meals might not be as eagerly anticipated. Fortunately, residents have the option to dine at the main lodge across the street; although some may feel lonely eating alone there.

    Engaging activities for residents seem limited at The Lodge at Ives Hill. However, one resident takes advantage of senior day care in Watertown twice a week for additional socialization and outings such as playing bingo or enjoying trips to local ice cream shops. It's worth noting that the family had to advocate for free transportation to and from the day care center.

    Integration into the community is seamless, according to another review. New residents quickly make friends and feel welcomed by both staff members and fellow inhabitants. The compassionate staff goes above and beyond during this pandemic by implementing extensive safety measures to protect everyone residing within the facility.

    From a visitor's perspective, The Lodge at Ives Hill appears neat and pleasant inside. Staff members encountered during a work visit were described as kind-hearted and friendly.

    Overall, many reviewers highly recommend The Lodge at Ives Hill due to its warm atmosphere where everyone feels like part of a family. The attentive staff members take great care of individuals' needs while also making an effort to remember personal preferences such as coffee preparation or laundry preferences. Special occasions and birthdays are celebrated to create a cheerful environment, reminiscent of home.

    In terms of value, the community seems to offer good care at a reasonable cost. Families trust the dedicated staff and appreciate the clean, peaceful living environment provided for their loved ones.
