Wonderful staff, friendly residents, excellent food, good activities, and at $[removed]. For a two-month trial period, it was a perfect deal. The negative was trying to get my deposit back. I discovered that three administrators were let go and I hope it wasn't due to my experience.

Not worth the money.

Management has a revolving door (assistant managers) and there are constant excuses why maintenance is not done. We pay[removed price] a month for the hassle of begging for a repair. Been waiting 8 months for our exterior light to be restored that was damaged when the sidewalk was replaced. The excuse is “ we get a lot of rain in New England!” The food is very borderline and there is no nutritional information for anything. If you have diabetes or any other dietary restriction, this is not the place for you. Activity director is awesome and does a great job for what she has to work with. If you’re expecting white tablecloth food and service, you will be disappointed. Also no pub, drug store, pool or proper convenience store. Rents were promised never more than 3% increase every other year. We are now experiencing 7% each year. The parent company Hawthorn is unavailable for concerns. I initially came here because of “A Place for Mom” but [removed name] would be disappointed.

The facility was beautiful. Additionally, it was decorated for the Christmas/ Hanukah holidays and was lovely and inviting. The dining room was like a 5-star hotel. At dinner time, well-dressed residents began gathering at tables for 2 or more as servers assisted with their orders. Various residents greeted the facility manager (and obviously liked and respected her) as she was hosting my tour. There was no studio empty for viewing. I viewed a 1-bedroom, spacious apartment with large closets, a balcony and good sized kitchenette. I was impressed with the residence and all the amenities, transportation options, and on-site and off-site activities. The on-site resident manager was friendly and engaging. I would love to place my elderly relative in this residence, as it would meet his needs for socializing with peers and 24/7 on-site management. I couldn’t have been more impressed!

Our Family Experience

Being able to socialize has been a game changer for my sister. Colonial Gardens has an impressive beautiful dining room with good food. Nicely kept up facility. Lovely apartments all with outside access. Pleasant administration . Transportation to doctor's appointments and grocer. Good price point for what you get.

A very nice place to live

What we like the most about the community is there is a variety of residents, many interesting people to talk to. Many activities, and transportation ones not in house. Free movies - residents can pick one to be shown, if they want to, and the activities director posts one weekly. Very good food - restaurant style dining, with choices each meal, but can also send to room if needed. Staff is very nice, and do a good job. Facility can transport residents to appointments, shopping etc if they don't have a vehicle. Nice outside areas to sit in

My experience with Colonial Gardens

I LOVE Colonial Gardens. I moved in [date removed] so I've been here a little over a year. It is close to my daughter and grandchildren, I like the food, have friends, joined the book club and science club. It has many benefits such as : library, gym, someone to drive me to doctor's appointments, 2 drivers to take me on errands ( like CVS)... I live in a studio apartment with a balcony off of it. I've made friends and have the perfect place to live. Thanks.!

Overall would definitely recommend this community

The staff is very helpful with my aunts needs . The facility is always clean. I know they provide lots of activities and transportation however my aunt doesn't use those services. Everything is covered ... food, cable, transportation to doctor appointments , many activities. Movie night , etc. the only additional cost my aunt has is for her land line.

Review for Colonial Gardens

The budget is surely the deciding factor on food served in the dining room. We also have inferior toilet paper (2nds that is SO thin it dissolves the second it touches your skin). The activity room was closed two months due to no heat only to have a water leak once the heat was fixed. The kitchen is too small to have the equipment needed to keep food warm and more than likely does not meet health standards. The fruit left out for the residents (which is about the only opportunity for consuming this type of produce) appears to be seconds or rejects from mainstream produce and often rots before it ripens or is rotten when it's left out for us. This building is too new to have so many problems. We're told our location is a teaching facility. Is this why we can't keep management staff more than a few weeks? This should be categorized as a 75+ facility not a 55+ as the median age is around 80. NO ONE here looks like me. This seems like a place to wait out death. Sadly it's obvious that this is a Corporate run facility (Hawthorn) and those in charge just far enough removed they don't have to see how their cheapskate antics affect the residents. For the rent charged I would expect to be treated better than a second class citizen. I assumed this facility endorsed by [name removed]would be top notch. I know there are gaps in anything but in a year I've never seen any change in procedures that have made a positive impact on the day to day interaction between staff and tenants.

It’s ok if you REALLY need assisted living

The staff here tries very hard. Hats off to [name removed] and [name removed]who seem to be gifted at working with the elderly. It is impossible not to love them! The big Texan and his wife? Another story. Resident [name removed]is warm and kind but if you sit at her table well…she has her friends and it won’t be appreciated. Very cliquish in places. But the food is good people are nice for the most part. My biggest issue is that most of the residents need mobility devices such as walkers and rolling walkers. Most are borderline assisted living and nursing home cases. Families - anxious to keep costs down put family members here because it is so much cheaper. But where it got scary is that when people came in walking without assistance they would within a few weeks need the devices themselves. It seemed to accelerate the aging process for some. Love to return when I really need it but not looking forward to it. It’s depressing

Things to know about Colonial Gardens

There have been a few select staff who are wonderful but the management turnover has really affected the quality of the experience. They need to ensure residents' safety -- either a formal check in system or install cameras or both. The high speed internet doesn't work so you have to purchase your own, separately. Beware of the "chandelier effect" -- at Colonial Gardens and elsewhere. Most facilities have a grand dining room and well-manicured grounds, but you really have to ask pointed questions about staff turnover to understand the experience your loved one will have. How long have the managers been there? The cook? The activity director? Are the employees happy?

Colonial Gardens is a very pleasant place.

A good friend recently moved to Colonial Gardens on recommendation of another mutual friend. The facility staff has been very helpful, and the facility itself is lovely, light and airy and comfortable, The food is excellent, with several choices per meal, and the dining room has multiple 4 person tables, and serves like a restaurant. The other residents are friendly, with interesting people from all different backgrounds. The rooms vary in size, price and configuration so you can find what suits your own needs and budget. My friend is very happy to be there.
