STONEBRIDGE AT BURLINGTON

My mom has been living in the Avita memory care section of Stonebridge since September 2023. I looked at 4-5 memory care facilities before deciding on Stonebridge. It was the most expensive of all that I looked at, but the staff and facility really impressed me. My mom’s room is lovely and has big windows that look out on a wooded area. They recently replaced the carpet in the hallways in Avita, which was much needed. The living room common area and dining area are getting a little worn looking but are clean and acceptable. Jim, the director of Avita, is great. He plays multiple instruments and is always entertaining the residents and doing sing alongs, which they love. He usually has an assistant who helps him with activities, but they lately seem to have trouble keeping the same person in that position. The rest of the aides there do a good job (some better than others) with helping care for the residents there. Memory care is difficult, and I appreciate the kindness and patience it takes to do such a job! My big negative with Stonebridge is the cost. When my mom moved in, her rent was $11,180 a month. They are raising prices effective this coming September for at least the THIRD time since she has moved in. As of this September, her rent will be $12,100 a month, almost $1000 more than 2 years ago when she moved in. We are fortunate that my mother has long term care insurance, but that will eventually run out, and I’m not sure we will be able to keep her at Stonebridge if they keep raising their rates as often as they have been.

My parents moved into Stonebridge of Burlington in September of 2023. It was a difficult decision for our family to make, but it was the BEST decision we ever could’ve made for them. They both absolutely love living there. The benefits of keeping them safe, them having personalized care, having social opportunities, and support with daily tasks, all while maintaining as much independence as possible is something that we are so grateful for. The staff treats them like they are family and always goes above and beyond for them (& us). 😊

My wife’s parents are currently at StoneBridge at Burlington. Trying to find the perfect new home for them was difficult but dealing with the staff was amazing. John Merry and his team were very welcoming and professional, making the transition very smooth. We love all the staff and they really appear to love their jobs, resulting in very low turnover which makes it easier to manage any situation that arises.

My mom has had a great experience since being at Stonebridge. She has been there a little over three years. The facility is beautiful! The staff is awesome and very caring toward the residents. There is always a smile and friendly words when entering the building. Any time there is a question, someone is always there to help. She has made a lot of friends and participates in many activities. I can’t say enough good things about Stonebridge and the staff. Diane D’Innocenzo

When one enters Stonebridge at Burlington, you are home. A warm smile and kind words welcome you. Stonebridge, inside and out, is lovely, inviting, clean and polished (especially the Grand Piano)! Engagement is easy. The activities and offerings are plenty; there is something for everyone. Most of all, the community of Stonebridge, the residents and the employees, from the Front Desk to the Front Office, the Directors and Staff of Wellness, Engagement, Culinary, Maintenance and Avita are what makes Stonebridge home. Where everybody knows your name.
