I will third the positive Moran reviews. We had a pretty trying time moving two elderly relatives into Olmsted one shortly after the other. The Goddard staff were extremely helpful throughout the whole process and I've been impressed with their professionalism and dedication. I also appreciate their strong communication skills; they do an excellent job keeping family members updated, which has been especially important during the COVID pandemic. 

Business response:

Tom, We are so grateful for the whole family to chime in with such positive notes about Goddard House. We are honored by your trust in our community and staff to bring not one, but two of your family members who now call this home. Thank You !

Goddard House was the BEST decision my mom ever made! There is so much I could say about this wonderful place that my mom now calls home - how wonderful and caring the people are, or how outstanding and clean the amenities, or how engaging and interesting (and fun) the programs are - but the main reason we love that our mom lives at Goddard is how happy she is and how much she is THRIVING since she made it her home nearly 5 years ago. She’s an incredibly social, intelligent and creative woman, so our concern was for her to c... read more

Business response:

We moved my Dad and aunt into Goddard's memory care unit and it's been a huge relief, especially with COVID. Everyone at Olmsted has been great, and we especially appreciate the wonderful music and art programs they have there. And the garden! And the chickens! 

Business response:

Barbara, We so appreciate your kind words about Goddard House. Olmsted Memory Support Neighborhood is a special place with a nursing and programming staff we are so proud of. Their daily commitment to our residents is amazing.

We moved two elderly family members into Goddard's memory care section (Olmsted) about 6 months ago and I have been so impressed with Olmsted! The Olmsted staff is warm and caring and works tirelessly to make sure that my family members are safe, healthy and socially engaged. The facility is clean and cozy, with a beautiful outdoor space. I am so glad we chose Olmsted. 

Business response:

Patricia, Thank You ! We so appreciate the trust and confidence you've placed in Goddard House to care for these two members of your family. We thoroughly enjoy both of these wonderful people and seeing them so engaged in the social and creative programs that take place daily on the Olmsted Memory Care Neighborhood. - Lance Chapman, Assistant Executive Director

The Goddard House has significantly changed my mother’s life for the better. She was living independently, surrounded by many friends in Florida, but wanted to live closer to me, her daughter. We spent the better part of 4 years exploring assisted living facilities in Massachusetts. As soon as we toured The Goddard House, we knew my mom had found her new home. The common rooms are spotless; the furnishings and artwork are attractive and welcoming. Artwork by the residents is often displayed. There is a wide variety of progra... read more

what an exceptional place! We moved my 83 yr. old mother here right before Massachusetts had to lockdown and everything was so uncertain and scary. Goddard House followed every precaution with communication and compassion. Although it would be many weeks before we were able to visit My siblings and I were secure in knowing my Mom Was being well cared for, thank you Goddard House I’m forever grateful. 

Business response:

Thank you for these kind and meaningful words Amy. Our residents well-being will always be our #1 priority.
