“We recently moved our 94 year old mother with dementia from our home to Evans Park in Newton Corner. The staff are kind and caring and the facility lovely and clean. Stephen Durso has been especially helpful during this challenging transition!”
“This is an assisted living facility started for Scandinavians but now open to everyone. It has a friendly atmosphere and residents seem happy. There is a beautiful hall for activities.”
“The Falls has been a wonderful place for Mom. She is safe and well cared for. The food is excellent! The staff are all friendly and she enjoys their care and conversation. The activities are varied and Mom participates and enjoys many of them.”

About these figures
Computed on October 11, 2026 from the 5 communities listed in Newton, 159 public family reviews on Google, Yelp and MyLivingChoice, state licensing records and, for nursing homes, CMS Care Compare. The best-rated list ranks communities by average family rating weighted by how many families have reviewed each one, so a 4.9 from three reviews does not outrank a 4.7 from two hundred. No community pays to appear in the best-rated list or in these figures; sponsored and partner listings in the directory results are marked as such. Figures refresh as listings and reviews change.
