My mother just celebrated her 100th birthday at State Street, and the staff there put together a wonderful party in her honor. I would like to thank everyone involved, especially Martha for helping put it all together. Everyone did a wonderful job creating what was certainly a memorable occasion that our family will always treasure and remember.

I just wanted to take the opportunity to thank the entire Sate Street Assisted Living team for the great welcome and care they provided for my aunt in her last years. The onboarding process was very welcoming and supportive as I lived in another state but the team helped make it a smooth transitional. The executive director, nurses, techs, activities director, dining staff and front desk staff provided such care for my aunt even at times when she made it a bit challenging. I will always be so grateful my aunt was a resident when she needed the most help in her life.

When I go to visit my father at State Street facility, I find that he is exceptionally well cared for in the Memory Care center. He is actively engaged throughout the day, his hygiene is well taken care of and the staff is sensitive to all his special needs.<br>My father was in another senior facility in Dover where he was consistently left in bed all day, in wet clothing and ignored.<br>My family and I have found that State Street facility is wonderful and a relief to our family to know my father is well taken care of.
