A Place for Mom's Services Are Priceless

The overall experience with A Place for Mom while trying to find a place for Dad has been absolutely phenomenal! Guiding us with the facilities that would be ideal and assisting my Sister to schedule tours around her complex schedule was a huge benefit. Selecting The Arbors was so easy once she attended her tour, and allowing her to take photos for my brother and I was immensely helpful. When [name removed] and team were able to provide the assistance with coordinating his move from Rehab relieved a LOT of pressure due to the logistics that we were panicking about. We are collectively so extremely pleased with the caliber of care that Dad now has, and the communication we receive from the Care team is A++ The relief that we feel now that he is at The Arbors is priceless after navigating his condition by ourselves for almost 2 years.

Extremely helpful staff

The Arbors of Shelburne gets all 5 stars. All the staff was helpful ALL the time. I'm not saying that this was the best experience but was as good as it could get. Would not have a problem recommending Arbors to anyone looking for that kind of help.

What our family likes the most about The Arbors of Shelburne community is the friendliness of the staff members, and it is comfortable being there. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

Highly Recommended

My loved one is a resident at The Arbors of Shelburne and everything has been great for her at this facility. The Arbors is top notch on all counts. The staff are outstanding. The one thing that I take away from all of the other facilities is that none seemed to have as professional of a staff as The Arbors of Shelburne. I think the physical appearance of other facilities might be fancier, more hotel like, but we were more concerned on the quality of care and so far I think we made the right decision. I would highly recommend The Arbors of Shelburne to family and friends.

Peaceful and Happy with Loving Care

They were as a group very in tune to all patients and residence. Very friendly and involved with anyone. They have a lot of events for residence and maybe they can encourage them more to get more participation. We picked this community because, they specialized in Alzheimer's and Dementia.

Our family had an in person tour and it was the smallest community out of the others but it was a very nice facility. It did feel more like a nursing home but a high end nursing home. The staff members were all very lovely.

This is the right place

We have been very happy with The Arbors. My mother feels extremely well cared for and "loved". She gets support whenever she requests it and she absolutely loves the food provided. Since moving here, my mothers health issues have improved tremendously because of the attention from nursing staff and the doctor who works here part time. I would highly recommend to others looking.

So impressed!

We have been very impressed with the Arbors. My husband and I visit my mother-in-law almost every day at different times of the day and each time we are greeted with smiles. Everyone seemed to know my mother in law’s name within 24 hours of moving in and they go out of their way to let us know how she is doing and what activities she has participated in. They have been very responsive to our requests such as making sure she goes on the twice weekly outings, making sure she gets a shower every other day, and making sure she gets a haircut on a regular basis. We also asked them to make sure she is participating in as many activities as possible and they are making that happen for her. Every member of the Arbors team I have communicated with has gotten back to me within the same day (email or phone calls). I see at least one manager out and about interacting with the residents each time I visit. My husband and I are relieved his Mom is in such capable, professional and kind hands!

The Arbors at Shelburne Vt

The only good thing about this place is [name removed], whose knowledge and treatment of Alzheimer’s is beyond reproach... I would not place my dog, let alone my wife, in this environment ever again. My children were equally discussted with how their mother was treated. I can’t begin to discribed the conditions under which which she was cared for.... as soon as we had the proper people in place at home we got her out of there. Thanks to Home Care Assistance.... and [name removed] She is thriving at home.

Administration will slander you

Beware , if you try to bring a family member home , you will get slandered by the administration, making it difficult to get another doctor. Any attempt at removal will be viewed as " against medical advice" . and lots of them bad mouthing your ability to provide care to anyone they can contact...not just your potential new dr, but ANY family members , landlords , employers. The administration is allll about keeping those beds filled, and once they have a patient they wont let them go till the day the money runs out. If i was rich, i would sue them all day long.

Highest Recommendation for the Arbors!

We feel so fortunate to have been able to have my Mom stay at the Arbors during her late stages of Alzheimer's-type-dementia. This is a wonderful community: the staff is enabled and supported....the facilities are great....and management really cares about the residents and their familes. We gladly give our highest recommendation for eldercare at the Arbors!
