I could go on and on about the care and support my husband and I received during our short term respite care and Standish Village . Everyone on the staff could not have been nicer, and I mean everyone! This place is a hidden gem and that anyone who is considering Assisted Living, memory care or in our case short term care must consider. We truly felt comfortable while we recovered from a horrific car accident .The activities are creative and inviting. PS if we could give them 10 stars we would!!

Standish Village has been a great match for my Aunt. She has been there for about 2 years, and loves it. I decided on Standish ,because of all the activities they offer. She attends all of them, but mostly enjoys Bingo and the nightly movies. She loves being with people ,and the residents are so friendly.<br>The staff is has been wonderful, they go above, and beyond to ensure the residents are well taken care of. It truly is a lovely place.

Just wanted to take a moment update my review and to express my family’s sincere gratitude for the wonderful care and compassion that my mother has received at Standish Village.<br><br>My mother has been part of the Standish Village community for several years, and during that time, we’ve witnessed firsthand the warmth, professionalism, and dedication of every staff member—from the receptionists who cheerfully chit-chat with every resident like a friend, to the aides who provide daily support required and not required with genuine care, to the nursing team who always go above and beyond to ensure every need is met and the accounting department who made it so easy to transition back.<br><br>A couple of months ago, due to personal financial constraints, our family made the difficult decision to relocate my mother to another facility. However, it didn’t take long—less than eight weeks—for us to realize that no other place could match the level of care, compassion, and sense of family that Standish Village provides. In hindsight, we also realized that when we moved her, we had unknowingly taken her away from her family—the Standish Village community that has loved, supported, and cared for her as one of their own. The relief that our family feels with the utmost confidence our mother is taken care of leaves us at such peace. Bringing her back was one of the easiest and most heartfelt decisions we’ve ever made.<br><br>Please extend our deepest appreciation to your entire staff for the love and professionalism they show every day. It is clear that Standish Village is not just a place to live—it is truly a home filled with people who care. UPDATED 11/6/2025<br><br>We made the decision several years ago to transition my mother from living with us to living at an assisted living facility due to her medical conditions. This decision took us several years to make and many visits to different places and by far we kept coming back to Standish Village because it did not feel like a facility but it felt like a home. The building is beautiful, full of amenities and well maintained. The staff is truly caring and patient. They talk to my mother not as a client but as a friend or family member. Even though my mother initially resisted going to Standish Village, she now enjoys living there very much and has been living at Standish for several years. Standish Village has provided us the opportunity for her to be just our Mom and us just to be her children.
