“I’m a volunteer at Cambridge where my wife has been a resident over five years. This place is very nice and clean. The personnel at Cambridge are professional and know the resident’s needs. It’s also decorated nicely for each season and special holiday. I would like to mention that most residents are happy and have an upbeat attitude. Many residents enjoy the group exercise that is provided daily.”

“I feel very comfortable with my wife living here. Before coming to this facility, we looked at other places which my wife refused. When we got to Cambridge we were pleasantly surprised and my wife was happy to stay here. The equipment is terrific and being family with cleaning procedures, Cambridge is very well taken care of. The help is personable; it takes a special person to work with individuals with dementia/Alzheimer’s and the staff at Cambridge truly care about the people living here.”
