Laurentide at Mashpee Commons — Local services in Mashpee

If you're wondering where you can find a safe, happy and affordable place for your loved one when they can't be at home, look no further. Choosing Laurentide will hands down be the best decision you make, for the resident, and for you/your family. My father moved to Laurentide at Mashpee Commons last August at the age of 86 and the only thing we should’ve done differently was move in sooner. The experience was transformational not only for my Dad but me too. Almost immediately he began to thrive, improving both mentally and physically. He’s actually better at an older age at Laurentide than he was younger and completely independent. I attribute this specifically to the comprehensive care, beautifully equipped, elegant facility and most of all to the remarkable staff at Laurentide. My Dad loves the food, the brain games, happy hour and even the exercise classes (all of which he hasn’t done in a decade). They always make sure to prepare his favorite salad with his special balsamic dressing. This may seem small but to him it’s big. It’s incredible to see the Dad I remember growing up - sharp, motivated, and jovial. An 86-yr-old turned 76 simply because he’s happy and wants to live again. I’m thrilled because he’s safe, healthier and no need is left undone. The communication is impeccable and there could not possibly have been a better environment during Covid - truly (continued to be) managed to perfection! I am so grateful to the leadership team, notably Maureen Gardner, E.D., Vanessa Peterson, Wellness Director and equally to every single Laurentide staff that makes each day brighter. Thank you forever...

This is a rave review for the work and services provided at Laurentide, where the lovely setting and atmosphere convey a sense of quiet professionalism, optimism, attention to detail, and pride. Every staff member and management experience mirrors the same attention, care and respect that my mother has enjoyed there as a resident/member for the last two years. You can tell a lot about an operation when a crisis arises, and when the COVID-19 pandemic generated fear and daunting challenges, the response at Laurentide was truly remarkable. Every staff member kept calm while keeping pace with the changing essential protections and policies. Moreover, creative adaptations were developed that provided residents (and their families) opportunities to stay in contact and maintain social connections. It is a testament to Ms. Gardner’s leadership and the example of the on-site management and staff that, even in the most challenging of times, every interpersonal exchange, request, and experience evidenced Laurentide’s trademark positivity, graciousness and genuine desire to assist and support. Laurentide offers its residents many wonderful amenities: inclusive gathering opportunities, live music, happy hour, games, classes, films, trips, first rate menus, holiday celebrations and much more, all in a beautiful setting. What it has given me is the security of knowing my mother’s daily well-being is in the trusted hands of a terrific and committed staff who truly care for and about her comfort, health and happiness. Priceless.

Though I do not have a person that is a resident here, I have spent a considerable amount of time in the dining area observing. I would like to send a shout out to the woman that works at the reception desk( Ally) by the entrance. From the moment I stepped foot in the door she made me feel welcome and comfortable. She gently guided me through the entrance protocols and was quick with a smile, answers to my endless questions and anything else I needed help with. She set the tone for the entire establishment. On one of my visits, I was having difficulties with one of the staff members, I was quickly escorted to the directors office by this receptionist. The director ( Maureen) could not have been more open, professional or accommodating. I was in awe of her handling of my situation which was addressed and settled with lightening speed . From my observations in the dining room, I was pleasantly surprised by how the residents are attended to, the quality of the food and quality of service. You feel as though you are in a nice restaurant and your own home all at once. The servers addressed residents by name, and served them quickly and efficiently. The common rooms are furnished beautifully and the residents I passed by or witnessed dining were very content and comfortable and enjoyed socializing with each other. Based on what I have seen so far , I would highly recommend this...
