Allerton House at Harbor Park

R Benson

When I knew my sister needed to live in an assisted living/memory care facility, I developed the criteria that I felt was important. Ideally I wanted the facility to be near me so I readily could have 'easy' contact for visits and to meet whatever needs might arise. I wanted the facility to provide safety and security for her, a social setting to combat loneliness and activities to keep her engaged. I wanted her to be able to live her life as fully as she was able. Living in Hingham myself, I looked to Google to see what (if any) facility might exist in my immediate area. When seeing that Allerton House was an option, I called to make an appointment with the Marketing Manager. Upon entering the site, I was blown away. It was very well appointed - actually beautiful - and had the look and feel of a private residence. Once the Manager explained the services and answered my initial questions, I was shown an actual unit. I was convinced my search was over. My prayers were answered! Initially I secured a unit in the assisted living portion of Allerton. After two years., my sister relocated to the memory cars area in a wing of Allerton. Simple transition. Fast forwarding, my sister has lived at Allerton for 3 1/4 years now. She loves it !! And I love it. The care and attention she receives daily has made her feel loved, comfortable and secure. No more being responsible for cooking, cleaning etc. and other pesky chores. And she dines in a restaurant quality dining room daily. She often raves about the variety and quality of the food. And the availability of snacks and special offerings for occasions is a bonus. She is an active participant in the numerous activities, enjoys the bus trips to various local sites and has made many friends - no longer alone in a big house. Among her friends are the staff who are extremely caring and supportive. I am kept completely informed of any concerns the staff may have of her needs both medically and socially. We communicate in person, by telephone or by text. The management, nursing staff, aides, receptionists and maintenance staff are exemplary - each and every one. Being the primary giver, Allerton House has given me peace of mind. I know my sister is happy and being well cared for while living her life in a nurturing and loving environment. Hats off to the staff at Allerton who consistently - particularly during these trying times - meet her needs and my expectations and then some! Amen.

I liked Allerton House at Harbor Park very much. It's very bright and has a very warm feeling. My mother did end up going into the memory unit. I can't say enough good things about it. I think it will be a very enriching and safe place for her to be. The food is good. The staff is very kind, they know everybody's name, they know my name, and they always have a smile on their faces. They're very involved with the residents. It is in excellent condition. It's a very good fit, and the activities are incredible. They have six people that work five-hour shifts seven days a week just doing activities with the residents from cooking, to singing, to gardening. They have exercise people come in for yoga, Zumba, dancing, and painting.

We visited Allerton House. It was very nice. It is very easy to get to, and it is very convenient. It is not too far from Boston and not too far from the Hingham area. The shopping center is not too far from this facility, so it is very convenient. We had lunch there, and it was very adequate. There were 15 tables in the dining room, they were all full, and the staff was very efficient. The rooms were very nice. We like the rooms. We saw a two-bedroom room and a one-bedroom room, and they were both very nice.

Allerton House is very good. I remember it was my second choice. The surroundings are very clean, very nice, and updated. I know they have activities, but I didn't see anything going on. The people are extremely nice. The atmosphere impressed me. The experience was very pleasant.

I moved to Allerton House, and it's a lovely place. The facility is beautifully done. I furnished the apartment myself, and it's adequate. The food sometimes is fine and other times not so great. We also have activities like exercise, people who come in to entertain, and we also have buses for us to go out to local restaurants. More than anything else, I like the staff; they are wonderful.

My grandmother was a resident at Allerton House, and so we came to visit this place again when we were looking for a facility for our parents. My parents already knew this place, and they like it. They also like the location, but they have limited availability for two people, and we are looking for a place for my parents. The food was fine. The facility is really nice. The rooms were nice.
