What a whirlwind the last year this has been for me and my family! My mother was placed in memory care a year ago , Hated that place , the care and standards were terrible it was dank and dirty , But, We were locked into a lease agreement which was a nightmare.. Finnaly it ended in April of this year and we moved my mom to Anchor Bay pocassett.. The difference is apparent the minute you walk in the door ! First of all it's so clean and fresh and bright and Modern , Everyone is so helpful and caring . A special shout out to Jen Burns who got my mom in the Memory care unit , She was no nonsense all the way , extremely professional and made it smooth and easyband fast along with answering all my concerns and questions, Thak you Jen ! As for the memory care area , the staff is fantastic and really pay attention to detail and doing Thier job the right way , Connie the head Nurse is also amazing and put me at ease right away , had a plan for my mom and all went smooth , I trust her fully along with the staff and can Finnaly sleep at night ! They attend to each resident asap with whatever they need , And do everything with kind words and a smile and a soft spoken manner always gentle ! It's also bright , Modern ! It's spotless clean with a giant outdoor beautiful sitting area in nice weather ! The food is amazing and healthy and it seems they have thought of everything here ! So, It just feels good in there and you know your loved one is in great hands ! They say better late then never , I am happy that my mom is at Anchor Bay pocassett Now , We absolutely made the right decision placing her in there ❤️

I am enjoying Anchor Bay Pocasset very much. One month has sped by. People are very welcoming and my stress level has dropped immensely from my previous location which felt like a hospital and was top-heavy w manager positions and function rooms. I know I will meet many more people and become more involved as time goes by. Thank you all!

Highly recommend this facility. Mom was in the memory care section and she was happier than we had seen her in many years. The nurses and staff were fabulous so we never had any worries about her care. The facility was clean and the meals/snacks were very good.<br>The activities were great and mom participated and enjoyed all the games and festivities.
