Cambridge House is by far the best supported living facility in the area. Kind compassionate staff, a director who knows how important our loved ones are to us, and meals that rival a restaurant. I highly recommend this facility to anyone who cares about their loved one.

My father was there for 2 1/2 years. All seemed fine at first, but dad started having problems and I think some saw him as an aggravation. He was a cash customer and I had concerns he needed to move on but no one agreed. When I would go his kitchen area was never clean, even after housekeeping. He eventually fell and hit his head leaving a big blood stain. He was hospitalized. He to.d me he tried to clean the mess up and when I went to get him some clothes I found his bloodied shirt thrown in the shower, dried and crumbly and was told they couldn’t really clean the carpet. I guess he was going to have to live with a blood stain if he returned, which he did not. It’s been almost 5 years since this happened and I am still receiving notices about his cable account. I even get texted to let me know when repairs are to be made for that apartment. After repeated calls with Spectrum and a few to Cambridge, no one seems to get his or my name off that room. It is a lovely facility with so,e nice workers, but I did I not feel there was concern for a resident that needed help or needed to be to.d he was past the purpose of that place.
