My family had an amazing experience at the Village at East Farms. Our dad was so happy there & when he passed away the staff was wonderful to us as well. He loved being there & was made to feel welcome immediately by the staff & other residents. One of us visited him daily & we could see that the other residents seemed just as happy as he was. It is a very cheerful place, kept impeccably clean & inviting. There are many activities for residents who wish to socialize & multiple places to sit with family & friends. The staff members really care about the residents & take the time to chat with them & their families. We highly recommend the Village at East Farms!

The staff, especially Liz has been very attentive to helping my mom adjust to a new life and surroundings. It hasn’t been an easy transition for her but everyone has been helpful in helping her adjust to the facility. They continue to make sure she is aware of all the offerings to kept the residents occupied and entertained throughout the day and Liz has been deeply involved in making sure mom isn’t left behind.
