Cadbury Commons

When mom got sick I visited many assisted living places. I picked Cadbury Commons. I am confident that mom receives good care. There's good communication from the director and her staff. Mom is doing well there. One thing I like is that when possible they arrange for services on-site. Currently they offer dental and podiatry services. During Covid, they offered onsite immunizations. Cadbury Commons is right in the midst of the Cambridge community. The building is across from an active public park. In the summer, you can sit out on the front porch and watch the local baseball games as the sun goes down on the far side. During the day the park is a great place for mom to walk. It's family owned and that comes across. There are organized activities for the residents offered by a staff that genuinely cares. The building is well kept up. In the front, there are always flowers growing, and in the back there is a community garden and patio. My brother came to visit after mom was settled in. He works in emergency services and has been to many assisted living places on emergency calls; many more than I visited when we were choosing a place for mom. He was impressed. That for me counts for a lot.

Cadbury Commons is a wonderful assisted living facility. They have excellent professional staff and offer varied and interesting programs for the residents. The staff are friendly and care about the residents. This is true of everyone at Cadbury -- the management, the professional staff, the front desk staff, the cooks and the maintenance staff. The Cadbury team worked hard to accommodate my elderly friend’s particular needs throughout his 18-month stay at Cadbury. When my friend had to move out of Cadbury for personal reasons, I was struck by how many staff members at all levels of the organization expressed interest, concern and appreciation for him. It takes a sense of mission and clarity to maintain a high level of respect, caring and sensitivity to the many needs of elderly residents day in and day out. Cadbury stands out as a shining light in this regard.
