    Review Summary

    The following is an AI generated summary of the reviews of the community from across the web.

    The reviews for Cadbury Commons present a mixed picture of the facility, highlighting both strengths and areas for improvement. Many reviewers commend the cleanliness of the facility and the quality of care provided by the staff, describing them as friendly, responsive, and competent. The community is praised for its engaging activities, including arts and crafts, fitness center, outdoor patio garden, evening concerts, and trips to museums and concerts. The food receives mixed reviews, with some finding it very good and others suggesting it needs an upgrade.

    However, concerns are raised about the memory care unit, with one reviewer specifically not recommending it due to a lack of activities and over-reliance on TV watching. The assisted living services are also criticized for being inconsistent, with reports of long wait times for assistance, spotty medication administration, and inadequate cleaning services. Some rooms are described as too hot or too cool, and the facility itself is described by some as run down and not the best choice for Alzheimer's care.

    Despite these criticisms, many reviewers appreciate the community's intellectual atmosphere, proximity to Cambridge and Harvard, and the variety of programs offered. The facility is described as having a homey atmosphere, with residents appearing active and happy. It is noted for its suitability for elders in relatively good health who enjoy intellectual activities. The facility's reputation in the community is generally good, with dedicated staff and a range of functioning programs.

    Overall, Cadbury Commons is seen as a place with potential, offering a range of amenities and services. While it excels in certain areas, there is room for improvement in others, particularly in the memory care and assisted living services.
