My mom lives in the memory care unit which is absolute wonderful to her! The staff is caring and kind and her personal care and room are well taken care of. She lived in independent living and moved over about a year ago and I was very nervous since it’s a hard step. I am very pleased, if you are going through this this home is wonderful.

As someone who brings children into the Residence regularly through my Free-Range Kids program, this place holds a special spot for me. The setting is lovely, the staff is warm, and it's clear that residents are well cared for and genuinely engaged in life. What stands out most is the spirit of community collaboration — the openness to let something meaningful happen between generations. Whether it's coloring together or reading stories, these visits matter. For the kids, it's a chance to connect with people outside their usual world. For the residents, a little spark of joy. That kind of exchange is rare, and this community makes it possible.

My parents joined the community three years ago and we are so grateful. They were 93 and 95 at the time, and leaving a family home from out of state. It’s a vibrant community, . The staff are compassionate and kind and supported by vigilant administrators and they are enriched by active community and an engagement staff that truly looks to find shared interests and builds programming around that. A elderly couple poses a challenge, as their needs are different. The nursing, building staff, aides, and an entire community of friends have been very supportive in helping them to meet their primary stated goal “ to be together”. We can speak to all living options as we have progressed through all, the independent, assisted, and memory care. This is private pay and costly - you are choosing a quality of life option, and one must recognize that they provide very limited medical support, but we are very happy that our parents (grandparents -great grandparents) have found a true home here !

Having a loved one moving on to their next chapter of life can be a difficult and stressful experience for the entire family. From our very first tour we knew that The Residence at Melrose Station was a special place. The leadership team and staff made us feel welcome from the very beginning. The staff has done an excellent job making our mom feel at home. They check in with her often to make sure she is doing okay and acclimating to her new home. There is a very positive atmosphere and the staff is kind, caring and compassionate. My mom looks forward to the daily activities sheet that comes out each morning - her favorite is the happy hour! It gives our family great peace of mind that she is happy in her new home, and is safe and well taken care of. We are lucky there are people like the team at The Residence. Thank you from our entire family!

My grandmother moved in back in September 2023 and we love it here. The staff is absolutely incredible. When she needed rehab, the nurses jumped through hoops to advocate for her-helped with securing resources she needed to come home. I was very thankful to all the staff members who helped us after she had surgery. The dining staff remember her preferences and greet us everyday with a smile. I eat with her at least 5x a week because I enjoy seeing her everyday, and I can attest to the quality of the food. The food is very good with extensive options. The location is also very convenient for a caregiver - proximity to Shaw’s, hospital and library, makes my life easier when I need to help her. 5/5 stars.
