Ive lived here for four years now and i find my fellow residents inspirational and the staff is outstanding. The beautiful thing about Neville is you can be private in your apartment but then we social anytime you want just by walking out of your apartment and down the hall. We babe a bunch of walking paths, trails to the pond, which is a beautiful idyllic setting close to anything you cold ever want: restaurants, shopping, etc. the staff is great, administration is great, reception is great, dining is great - i have no complaints!

Neville Place assisted living been a great choice for my mom. She has received a lot of care and support, and there is such community spirit and a high emphasis on engagement and overall health. We feel very lucky to have found Neville and to be so welcomed, right from the beginning. The staff and caretakers have been there for her in so many ways. And the great meals are a real plus as well!

I have lived at Neville Place for one year now and I love it. The staff is great and go out of their way to help. The residents are great, too. With a few exceptions they are friendly, warm and sociable. I can see Fresh Pond from my window and it is so quiet. In the summer the only thing I could hear at night were the crickets. Most of the time I can't tell I'm living in a large metropolitan area. I give it five stars.

Moving to assisted living was not an easy decision for my aunt, and she was very reluctant at first. Ten years later, it’s amazing to see how that hesitation turned into her truly loving and embracing Neville Place as her home.<br><br>The staff are genuinely kind and caring, and the fact that so many have been there for years really says a lot. The community is the perfect size, not too big. The activities are fun and engaging, and my aunt doesn’t miss one if she can help it.<br><br>The dining experience is a real highlight. Chef Maureen oversees a beautiful, sun-filled dining room overlooking Fresh Pond, and the food is tasty, balanced, and prepared with a great variety.<br><br>Francesca, the Executive Director, is absolutely wonderful — warm, genuine, and perfectly suited for her role. Mia at the front desk is a doll and always helpful and welcoming. Shelley and Jean, the resident nurses, are amazing, and I have so much peace of mind knowing they’re on-site and keep me informed if any concerns that come up.<br><br>Neville Place has given my aunt a true sense of home, and I’m incredibly grateful that we found the perfect place for my aunt.
