My brother is a resident here. His Social Worker Assistant, Savanna is extremely professional and does an excellent job! Some of the CNA's are often unprofessional and we report them. They are always addressed. They either improve or they are gone.

I want to express how incredible this center was to my mother and us. Matt, the director, was incredibly professional and kind. The staff was highly knowledgeable and helpful, ensuring that we were well taken care of. I highly recommend this center to everyone! Thank you to the amazing staff every single one of them!

My aunt has been a resident at Cambridge and we are so glad we chose this community. She absolutely loves the staff, they are kind, attentive, and genuinely care about the residents. The building itself is well-maintained, and it really feels like a warm, welcoming place. Most importantly, my aunt is receiving excellent care, which gives our whole family such peace of mind. We couldn’t recommend Cambridge highly enough.

Reviewing a Medicaid approved facility can be a challenge. Is it perfect? Does it hold up to how I run my own home? Would I personally choose to live there? All no. But here’s the thing, when someone you deeply care about finds themselves unable to care for themselves and has no one to take them in, what matters changes. Our dear friend of 50+ years has advanced dementia and nowhere to go. He has no heirs and his money was lost in the year he lost his way. He now resides at Cambridge and is getting the kind of care that I could only have hoped for with his Medicaid status. The staff have been so kind, caring and sensitive. Any concerns are dealt with in a timely manner. They communicate with us to resolve any issues they have. He looks healthy, is eating well, is participating in activities and is obviously happy. What more can be asked?
