The
people that work here are so kind and friendly and helpful. They make
me feel like I'm home! The food here is delicious. Its like eating in
a restaurant every day. After dinner I can pick any kind of ice cream
I want. The activities are wonderful. I especially like the entertainers
and going on bus trips to lunch. My room is just beautiful. It's so
cozy and warm. When I lay in my bed, I just think of how nice it is
here and how lucky I am to be here.

Mom
has lived at Barkley Place in Assisted Living for the past 2 1/2 years
and since moving in her life has totally been enriched. The staff is
so caring that mom truly felt just like family. The nurses are just
the best, I honestly believe they are saints!
-Lee Knapp, Daughter of Resident Vivian Stewart, Barkley Place
Mother and I searched long and hard to find a place that would allow her to gracefully live her life to the fullest, with dignity, love and respect, and allow me to have the peace that we were doing all we could do to make these years a blessing for her. Thank you Brightview for giving a new lease on life for mother and me. You have become our family, and we have become your family, and together we are one family.

My
wife and I have lived at Country Club Heights, for the past 6 1/2 years,
having moved from Arlington, Massachusetts. We were originally attracted
to the varied program of daily activities, but we have been pleased
with much more. We greatly value the competence and caring concern of
the Exercise Staff, the Maintenance Staff, the Dining Room Staff and
The Program Staff. We continue to live here by doing the Trivial-Pursuit
Game, Dick availed himself of lessons in Tai Chi Exercise, and piano.
We have gone out to lunch with the Lunch Bunch and subscribe to the
Boston Symphony Concerts and performances at the North Shore Music Theater.
Miriam who has Multiple Sclerosis uses the Exercise Bicycle to strengthen
her legs. Dick helps run the video-taped operas that he has recorded
each week and sings in the Country Club Heights Chorale Group. He helps
lead the music at the Interfaith Worship Service and helps tutor the
2nd graders in reading at a local elementary school. Our retirement
is busy. But enjoyable.

What
I like best about The Montclair is not having to be alone. It is great
to be with people. As we get older we have less to do and more time
on our hands and it is not good to sit alone a lot. I like to invite
my friends to visit The Montclair because I am proud of it. If I could
tell someone who was having a difficult time to making the decision
to move to The Montclair it would be don't wait too long.
-Dr. Payton Kelly, Resident, The Montclair
I am very thankful and feel fortunate my Dad is a resident of Wellspring of Brightview Assisted Living. My Dad was diagnosed with dementia of the Alzheimer's type. During the time immediately after his diagnosis Dad was persistent in keeping his independence but his safety and well-being was becoming a near constant concern for my family. Thankfully, the timing was right and a dedicated Brightview staff provided immeasurable assistance so that Dad was able to join Wellspring. He adjusted very well. He has met some very dear people who are now his friends. He has the attention of a very caring staff that does whatever possible to preserve his dignity, keep him safe and healthy. Dad is content, and he calls Wellspring his home. I am content and again thankful.
