It's been about a year since my first review of the Falls at Cordingly Dam and my feeling about the caring staff has continued to grow! I can't say enough about the work that they do, and their attention to community programming..The programs are enriching mentally and physically.<br><br>I'd like to add now that the first person we met at the Falls 2.5 years ago was David Larouche, the community manager, who provided tours and answered lots of our questions. David's kindness and understanding about all that goes into finding and deciding upon an environment for your aging parent, was for me what really sealed the deal. David is retiring soon and I will miss seeing his smiling face and upbeat personality around. I'm sure that whomever replaces him will bring all those same qualities to the job. We wish David all the best!<br><br>[original review] Our mom continues to enjoy a great deal of independence, and we’re so grateful she’s at The Falls at Cordingly Dam, where she’s supported—with the extra bonus of living so close to our homes. The staff are kind and attentive, and the daily exercise classes, art lectures, special events, and trips to places like the Museum of Fine Arts and Boston Symphony Hall keep her active and engaged. Thank you to everyone at the Falls for all that you do!

Our mom has lived at The Falls for nearly two years. Staff engagement, playfulness, spirited devotion to connecting residents one to another, humor, flexibility, problem-solving, patience, have opened her world and ours. I love going to see my mom at The Falls. She's happy there. And I love connecting with other residents and staff. Finding The Falls at Cordingly Dam for our mom lifted our spirits.

My parents moved into The Falls at Cordingly Dam in March of this year, and the experience has been outstanding. The staff are truly amazing; they are caring, attentive and always supportive. There are engaging activities for everyone, regardless of abilities, and the community feels like an extended family.<br><br>When my father passed away in June, the compassion shown to him, my mother, and our entire family went far beyond our expectations. Their kindness and support made a very difficult time easier to bear.<br><br>I feel grateful knowing my mother is in such a wonderful place. I can not imagine a better community for her to live in.

I highly recommend The Falls at Cordingly Dam. My parents have been living at The Falls for more than eight months. The staff have been professional, authentic, and caring. The programming, both the wealth of activities and the way that they are managed, is better than anything an advertisement or review can describe. This is true all the way from simple word games facilitated by a sensitive, engaged staff member, all the way to the quality of outside groups or performers who are brought in. The food is consistently good as well.

The Falls has been a wonderful place for Mom. She is safe and well cared for. The food is excellent! The staff are all friendly and she enjoys their care and conversation. The activities are varied and Mom participates and enjoys many of them.
