    I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

    My mother moved to the VNA Residence on Lowell Street a bit over two years ago and the sparkle has returned to her eyes and spirit thanks to the care and respect and beauty that surrounds her daily! Everyone on staff, from the hands-on and caring Executive Director down to the dining room staff, are thoughtful, attentive and proactive in their awareness of and concern for my mother and all of her neighbors. My work has provided me reason to come to know a variety of independent and assisted li...

    I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

    My husband's dad was a guest at the Somerville VNA facility for over a year. We found the entire staff to be highly professional offering caring and compassionate assistance to not only my father-in law but also to my entire family. The facilities were well maintained and the dining room offered a full range of food and beverages to not only the tenants but the families as well. My father-in-law required assistance with his daily medication as well as travel assistance to doctors and hospitals a...

    I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

    I can't say enough about the quality of care and compassion that was afforded my step-father during his year-long stay at this facility prior to his passing. He suffered from early onset dementia and was moderately incapacitated and yet the staff at the VNA were hands on professionals every day that he was a guest. I was very impressed with the cleanliness of the building and the individual units, the quality of the food that was offered in their dining room, the range of activities regularly pr...

    I wanted to talk about the Somerville VNA Assited living I love both sites. I have found the staff to be excellent, kind caring and well versed in taking care of clients. The staff from the executive director to the kitchen help, make you feel like you are at home. Both facilities are very active with an award winning exercise program to piano playing entertainment. I always felt and feel like the VNA of Eastern MA, main mission is to make every client feel as important as the next, no matter ...

    I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

    This is a wonderful facility. The VNA has been taking care of my neighbor at her home for as long as I can remember. A couple of years ago, I stopped in and found her house to be in a real mess, with bills and paperwork all over. I called the visiting nurses and they sent a nurse down right away. Her brother had died a few months before and she just could not take care of herslf anymore. The VNA arranged for a guardian and helped her apply for the VNA’s assisted living community on Lowell STrret...

    I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

    The day my aunt Marie was found on the floor after 2 days, I knew that it was time to look for help. The first place I called was the visiting nurses assisted living and within days, they had a beautiful apartment ready for her to move in right from the hospital. This was a hard move for her since she was fiercely independent and self-sufficient all her life. The VNA staff bent over backwards to make her feel at home and got her involved in the exercise programs and even had a physical therapi...

    I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

    I always thought the VNA was an honorable organisation doing honorable, necessary work, but if the VNA Assisted Living in Somerville is anything to judge the VNA as a whole by, then it is an organisation that needs serious introspection and a major overhaul in its mission. Sadly, I'm afraid that it's probably like many other assisted living facilities where they're only interested in the monthly draw on your bank account. If you're a fairly active, cognitively OK senior, then this place is okay ...

    I visited this facility

    To me the facility was average. It had all the amenities that most assisted living communities have, as well, as a few extras, such as, an on site hair dresser for the ladies. The rooms were small but functional. After having visited a different facility in FL where my late grandmother had resided which had every luxury you could imagine including four 5 star restaurants for their clients to enjoy, the VNA assisted living facility was really was not up to par, at least, not for my uncle. The apa...

    Very clean facility, great meals, and friendly residents. Located in a beatiful area. Some of the attendants tend to be lazy.
