Memory Care

We had such a wonderful experience working with Jean Macedonio - Admissions, during our search for assisted living for our mom. From the very beginning, she went above and beyond to help our family with the tour, paperwork, and every question we had along the way. Her warmth, kindness, patience, and genuine compassion made a very emotional process so much easier for all of us. Although family ultimately decided on a different arrangement, with one of Mom’s daughters taking her in, we felt it was important to recognize how incredible Jean was throughout the entire process. She treated us with such care and dedication, and we truly appreciated the time and effort she gave to our family. Jean is a true professional with a caring heart, and anyone working with her will be in wonderful hands. Thank you again for everything you did for us — we are very grateful.

My mom has been a resident of Braemar Assisted Living in Medford since 2012 The administrators and staff could not be nicer, especially Tracey Moody the director of the facility. They are very accommodating and kind to their residents and families. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and the staff is very attentive to the needs of the residents at that facility I would highly recommend Braemar Assisted Living at Medford to anyone who is looking to place a loved one in such a facility for that type of care

Jean Macedonio, Admissions Coordinator at Braemar at Medford was incredibly helpful, kind, and knowledgeable throughout the process of moving my mother into assisted living. We really appreciate her support and guidance.

My mom moved into Braemar at Montebello a few months ago from another memory care facility, and it has been a true blessing. After significant concerns about her safety and hygiene at her previous home, I’m thrilled to say that Braemar has exceeded my expectations. The nursing staff is exceptional. They’re dedicated, compassionate, supportive and professional, which was clear from our very first meeting during her assessment. The caregivers are attentive, engaging my mom and the other residents with meaningful activities like music events and arts and crafts. Most importantly, they ensure she is healthy, safe, and well cared for. The food is another highlight. It’s delicious with plenty of choices to suit her preferences. The management team made the transition process smooth and stress free, showing genuine care every step of the way. Braemar At Montebello feels like my mom’s forever home, and I’m so grateful to have found such a wonderful place for her. One other mention is my mom is assigned a caseworker who’s very helpful with her needs as well. I highly recommend Braemar!

I live out of state and rely on one of my sister’s to interface with Braemar week to week in the care of our mother. I come several times a year and am always grateful that we found Braemar. She had been at two other facilities previously and the care wasn’t as personal. It makes Braemar such a gift. They have made accommodations for her that suit her needs. They are patient and kind with her dementia. My several times a year visits are a blessing. Though, I am not known as well as my sister is, I am greeted cordially and have even developed over the past few years a relationship with one of her aides. There is genuine care and love for my mother. When I walk with my mother down the hall, staff and residents, greet her by name. Often, they remark on her kindness or niceness. It is so hard to leave a parent in a facility, especially a parent who made her family’s life a dream with her thoughtfulness. I am so very grateful for the ways Braemar cares for my mother. It has given me such peace of mind. Thank you, Braemar, for the almost six years of care you have given my mother! Our family is very grateful!

What a GOD SEND the Braemar Hamlet at Medford was for my Aunt Agnes - a resident for 9 years. As a frequent visitor; I met all the workers from Tracey (Admin); Winnie (Wellness); Heidi (Banking and Recreation); Lisa & Jean, Tammy (Recreation); Nurses (from Cindy on down); Aids; PT, cafeteria workers; (more than I can name), etc. For nine years the staff included me in all updates on my Aunt (health, activities, her solo singing in the chorus, when she lost her eyeglasses, hospitalizations (my Aunt has tremendous anxiety) etc.) When my Aunt first entered the Braemar Hamlet she was very cognizent of her surroundings and able to take care of her personal needs (eatting and washing). As her memory faded; and, as she declined in health - the Hamlet toileted her every 2 hours; ensured she was clean and presentable; engaged her in activities and continued to keep me informed. I phoned the Hamlet many times....and, someone always answered and they always knew where my Aunt was in the facility. Over time, my Aunt's needs exceeded assisted living (she was dehydrated, had severe memory loss and no longer able to remember to brush her teeth). The Braemar Hamlet staff helped me make the decision to move her to a full nursing home. This was the hardest decision of my life - which the Braemar Hamlet staff helped guide me and made this transition easier for both my Aunt and me. I wish I didn't have to move her. The Braemar Hamlet is clean, caring, pays attention to dietary needs (my Aunt got her ice cream every day); has a great Wellness staff and many recreational activities. I give this facility a 5 Star....with its caring attitude and professionalism. (BTW - I visited 19 assisted living facilities - and, for my Aunt - this was the best on Long Island.) If I needed an assisted living for another family member or myself - this is the environment I would want to be in. Thank You Everyone at the Braemar Hamlet, especially Tracy Moodie. You manage the staff exceptionally. Your compassion is evident with all the residents.
