I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident
My mother-in-law moved into The Residence at Pearl Street 2 weeks ago. She is very comfortable and very happy there. So far, they're doing a nice job. It's a very beautiful and clean place. It was a former school, which they've done over. On the inside, they have a lot of really nice common areas with television or tables for playing cards. They have a big and beautiful dining room with sunny windows. They also have daily and weekly activities, including going shopping which they do once or twice a week. She's been able to attend church services. Right now, they're doing it televised in the residence. And then someone brings over communion for them, which is nice.
She has a studio apartment with a full bathroom and a little kitchenette that has enough room for a table and two chairs, a 2-burner stove, a refrigerator, and a sink. She has a big common room that's large enough for her bed, a chair, a TV, and a big walk-in closet. They offer meals there - breakfast, lunch, and dinner. But she can make herself food if she wants to.
They have a beauty salon and a library, and there are washers and dryers on site. Since it's assisted living, there is an attendant that comes by every day if you need someone to help you with your medication. They bring people in to do various things like music. My mother-in-law was telling me that they had someone playing the piano and they were playing music from the 40s and 50s. She says the food is good, but she doesn't rave about it.

My Mom moved in March 2020 as COVID hit. The staff was and is so caring and very personable. Everyone was covered in PPE . The management/staff visited each resident daily to help with isolation.We had video calls with her so we could visit and check in. A wonderful associate saved my Mom who stopped eating! Hospice was called in due to her lack of will to go on. This wonderful associate coaxed her to eat her favorite foods and she recovered. We owe it to her and the all who were so dedicated to the residents.
But the staff also noticed my Mom had declined terribly in the Fall. She was struggling and lost frequently. We approved Mom to be moved to memory care and she adjusted quite well. She is thriving in the environment for those with issues with memory and needing extra care. She is very happy and safe.
Everyone got their second shots in Feb. 2021 and now we feel so much better. Thank you Pearl Street for taking care of our loved ones so well.

My Mom moved in March 2020 as COVID hit. The virus was so new and we all expected it to be over shortly. But we all know that was not the case. The staff was and is so caring and very personable. Everyone was covered head to toe in PPE to keep the virus from spreading! They took all precautions and assigned management/staff to visit each resident daily to help with isolation.They even had video calls with families so that we could at least try to visit and check in with our loved ones who we could not visit. A wonderful associate saved my Mom who lost interest in life (stopped eating!) as she was isolated during the height of the virus in the Spring 2020. This wonderful associate coaxed her to eat her favorite foods and she got back to herself. It was serious, hospice was called in because of her lack of will to go on. We owe it to her and the management and staff who were so dedicated to the residents. The Executive Director even moved in to be there around the clock!
The COVID restrictions were relaxed when safe, during summer and fall. But the staff also noticed my Mom had declined terribly. She was lost a lot and struggling. We approved Mom to be moved to memory care and she adjusted quite well. She is thriving in the environment for those with issues with memory and needing extra care. She is very happy and safe.
The management and staff are cautious now about COVID's high and low rates. They apply the COVID rules to keep the residents safe (masks, visitations, and such). Residents and staff got their second shots in Feb. 2021 and now we feel so much better. Thank you Pearl Street for taking care of our loved ones so well.
Be cautious, they can supply the care you need but they do increase the price with more care needed. So make sure you know what care is needed. During the day the staff was great, but overnight the staff could often not be found.
When we go there, we see it is always very clean. When we had some issues with my bother-in-law, the staff was right on top of it and wonderful. They were even the ones who brought the concern to our attention and since then have been very on top of it. They have been in constant communication with us regarding the Covid-19 pandemic and not only what they are doing to protect the residents but also how my brother-in-law is doing emotionally. We really appreciate their level of communication regarding this. They have daily schedules of activities normally, and during the community lock down, they have allowed residents to go outside and get fresh air and are also planning to set up meeting spaces for families to safely visit the residents. They are allowing us to FaceTime him when we want.
Staff has been the best from day 1. Always wondered if my mother would ever leave her room. Went up to see her one day and she told me she had to leave my visit because bingo was starting.
From the first visit we knew this is a wonderful place to reside.
My brother lost his dear wife in May
and a few months later I noticed he was declining quickly and could not live alone anymore.
We visited The Residence and he said it felt very comfortable and homey.
He canceled the other visits we had arranged and moved in a week later .
He loves it there especially the flexibility in the dining room and the
comradery of the other residents,
He never has to be alone.
The staff are kind and caring and work really hard to make everyone feel welcome and included. My Dad enjoys the many activities that are offered daily.
It has everything we were looking for. The dining room experience is wonderful.
NICE AND CLEAN, good patient/aide ratio, spacious studio,lots of activitities and socialization opportunities. Bed check every hour, floor alarms in memory care. We think this place will be a great fit for my Mom.
I see such a difference in my mother-in-law since she has been a resident of Pear Street. Living with me she was alone a lot during the day and she became more depressed and tired. She would spend the day watching television and napping. She was hesitant about staying for respite while I was traveling, but I explained that this was nothing like a nursing home and more like a hotel and she agreed that she would try to make the best of it! And she definitely has. She never moved back home; she went right from respite to becoming a permanent resident. I personally had a lot of guilt about leaving her because I had promised my husband before he passed away that I would take care of her. My friends and family told me that by letting her stay there I was taking care of her. She is busy all day long and is very happy at Pearl Street. She is very social and enjoys people and will go out of her way to try to help anyone. She takes part in almost every activity that is offered. It is wonderful to see my mother-in-law so full of light and life again and that is because of the people at Pearl Street! The staff are so very caring and genuinely interested in the residents. Thank you for all you do each and every day.
My uncle moved to the Residence at Pearl Street three years ago at 93 years of age. He was widowed but still living at home up until that point. His health was deteriorating and after a hospitalization and rehab stay we felt he could not remain safely at home. The Residence at Pearl Street was recommended by the rehab facility staff.
Here my uncle thrived. He regained his strength and his general health greatly improved rapidly. I've always felt it was a combination of three great meals each day, medications given and taken as prescribed throughout the day, and the many opportunities for daily socialization and activities with peers that is encouraged by the very caring and engaged staff.
My uncle just recently passed away quietly at age 96 at the Residence at Pearl Street which he came to consider as home.
If your loved one needs or would benefit from a supportive environment I strongly encourage you to visit this lovely and vibrant facility as I did. I am certain you will be surprised and impressed with all that is offered. My best to you.
I moved my mother into assisted living at The Residence At Pearl Street a little over a year ago. Although it was a difficult transition, the staff was very helpful and supportive, and they have continued to be so. The activities, as well as the activities director, are outstanding with a wide variety of physical and mental games and exercises, and entertainment and social gatherings, offered daily. The 3-a-day meals are also excellent, and the friendly food service staff strives to meet the needs and palates of everyone. The management is also doing a good job in keeping the facility up to date including the latest renovation that replaced all resident unit windows. Overall, I would recommend anyone interested in assisted living to consider Pearl Street.
