Our family member moved to the Residence at Pearl Street about 10 months ago. The staff and administration are all very friendly, professional, and responsive. From our first meeting and tour, we were impressed with the welcoming staff, beautiful furnishings and decor, the the many amenities -- from on-site hair salon, to weekly pub social with entertainment, the theater room, and the many activities both on and off site, there is something for everyone. I can't say enough about the staff- from the front desk receptionist, to the dining room servers, the activities coordinators, administrators, and the nursing staff and care attendants, everyone is so attentive and aware and responsive to the needs of the residents. The nursing staff and aids are on top of the health needs of the residents, and quick to react to and communicate any medical issues. From the day our Mom moved in, the staff has gone out of their way to make sure she felt included and part of this community, and that it felt like home. I would highly recommend the Residence at Pearl Street to any family looking for an assisted living situation in a personalized setting where I know residents, like our Mom, are safe, happy, and comfortable. Thank you!

The Engagement Director at The Residence at Pearl Street, Beverly Curry, is truly exceptional. Bev's creativity, genuine care for all the residents, and her dedication to her job and to the residents makes a difference every single day. My mom has lived here for three years and I have seen firsthand the thought and effort that Bev puts in daily to create meaningful and engaging activities that bring the residents together. Mom tells me on a regular basis that she does not know what she would do without the daily activities and social events that Bev plans and implements. It has helped my mom become social again, active, and happy, which means the world to our family. It takes a special person to bring this much energy, compassion, and joy to a community and Beverly Curry truly does. My mom, and all of the residents are so fortunate to have someone who cares so deeply about their happiness and well-being. My family and I are incredibly grateful for everything Bev does. "Mimi is living again" were the words of my daughter six months after my mom moved to Pearl Street, and this is thanks to Bev! Michelle Gagnon

Our Mom has been at Pearl Street for several years and the experience for her and her family could not be better. The staff is great, as are the food and the many activities. And most important, my Mom is happy.

My Mom has been at Pearl Street for a year now. She loves it and so do we. It was a hard transition, but she feels very much a part of the community and at home. The variety and amount engagement activities are wonderful. There is something for everyone, every day. The wellness staff is caring and helpful all the time. The operations team makes the behind the scenes work, such as billing and record keeping go as smoothly as possible. And the food is delicious! So much goes into running an ASL community and Pearl Street does it right! We are so happy that Mom landed there.
