My dad is in Independent Living at Shelburne Bay. I can't say enough good things about this place. They have been very supportive and responsive to any needs that have come up. We have been able to contract locally for home health aides as his needs have increased. One of the things that really stands out is how truly caring the staff are here. They know my dad and greet him by name, the dining room servers all know his preferences and pretty much everyones at the table when he comes to eat. They have gone over and above in assisting him (and us!) many many times. I strongly recommend this facility.

We moved my in-laws in this week to the independent living side. They anticipated our needs and made sure there were trolleys and helpers to schlepp everything up. Within 24 hours of our walk thru, the maintenance personnel- Rick and David and their supervisor had fixed any and all concerns. At lunch time a large, very tasty assortment of sandwiches, chips, fruit, cookies, and cold waters was delivered with a sincere smile and welcome.<br>Every interaction w staff is a genuine conversation where our mom and dad are heard, their question’s answered fully, and their concerns addressed. Until recently my own father was in a senior community, and we thought it was a really good one. To our surprise The Residence at Shelburn Bay is even better due to the staff. Thank you!

This place is pretty good if you can afford it, but beware that prices increase by 10% every year, and it is very difficult to move your family member once they are there -- anticipate paying twice the current fee 7 years from now.
