Gables of Fitchburg Ltd

The staff is their greatest asset at the Gables. Each department has top notch individuals who know what they are doing. They are very responsive and get things done to help you without long waits or call backs. They are friendly and work hard to make your stay a comfortable and fulfilling one. The premises are kept clean and safe. The food is very good and the dining room offers a good variety of foods and drinks at each meal. They also have a nice Cafe you can visit for coffee and desserts/sweets all through the day. We chose the extra large 1 bedroom apartment which is roomy with 1 and 1/2 baths, a den, living room, bedroom and a nice full sized kitchen. There is also a large beautiful balcony overlooking Coolidge park. We love it! After checking around at other places, The Gables had the best value by far for the money and is a smaller facility with more of a family feel than corporate feel. It is worth checking out!

The Gables of Fitchburg is a top notch locally owned living facility. This makes all the difference in the world in terms of quality of care. The pricing schedule is straight forward. Many services are included in the basic price whereas other facilities offer a cafeteria style plan that quickly becomes confusing and expensive as one adds services. The physical plant is impressive, with multiple common areas and apartments in several sizes. Most important is the staff, many of whom are long timers. Without exception, every staff member is highly competent and caring. The decision to move to an assisted living facility is never easy, but the Gables of Fitchburg makes implementing that decision easier.

After an unfortunate accident, our Mom could no longer live alone. She has lived in Fitchburg all of her life. Our family chose the Gables because of its location and accommodations. Mom’s apartment is roomy, overlooks a park and it bright and cheery. Transition from independent living to assisted living was a challenge for Mom as she was reluctant to give up her independence. We found that the staff at the Gables supported the transition including coordinating with the skilled nursing facility she was released from and providing all the information we needed as a family to make the move as smooth as possible. Covid restrictions made this even more of a challenge! The Gables was flexible and gave us the time needed to set up the apartment and ensure that Mom was comfortable from day one. The maintenance staff even helped with hanging a heavy mirror and installing a handicap commode. When needed we had access to the administration and Nursing management to help us navigate the options for medication support and to understand the assessment of Mom’s physical needs. The staff was professional and patient when encouraging Mom to have meals in the dinning room and to participate in other activities offered for socialization. Since moving to the Gables Mom is gaining strength and showing continual improvement. We are grateful for all the Gables does to keep Mom safe and well cared for. Thank you!

Our experience with the Gables has been nothing short of wonderful. Mom had such a difficult time deciding whether to go into assisted living. It helped her to first meet Patty who was warm, patient and accommodating while Mom made this life changing decision. Since arriving, we have found the Gables to be a family like atmosphere. The staff sincerely cares about the residents and works to create an engaging, friendly environment as well as never seeming too busy to be that friendly person to talk to on a lonely day. The Activities Director Jason keeps things lively and works to include all levels of ability. We have slept peacefully knowing the nursing staff is overseeing mom’s needs. I have needed to work closely with Kristen and Cindy who are knowledgeable professionals, easy to work with and helpful in guiding me through the difficulties of an aging parent. Have we had a few bumps along the way? Sure, that’s to be expected, however how it is handled is what matters. The Executive Director Chris readily works with you and across disciplines to resolve concerns promptly or to help create solutions. Transitioning to assisted living is not easy on our parents but doing it in a facility like the Gables is as close to home as you can get. 5 stars.
