Testimonials

"Everyone knows my name--they stop in the hallway to ask me how my day is going and it makes me feel good about myself and where I am in my life." - Hugh O'Donohue, Resident, Memory Support Neighborhood

"I loved living in my two-family home in Dorchester, but after my husband died, I was lonely and not eating well.  Since moving to Standish I've made friends and I especially enjoy the elegant dining room." - Helen Rumpf, Resident

"I'm always ready to get in the Standish bus and go! When my husband, Earl, was still alive, we used to travel together all the time.  Now he is gone, but through scheduled Social Programs I still dine at restaurants, visit museums, travel to casinos and get hot dogs (my favorite food!) at Simco's!" - Elouise Bolt, Resident

"I've lived at Standish for over three years.  I have my own apartment but don't have to do worry about anything--housekeeping, bed-making and laundry are all done for me!" - Kathleen Devine, Resident

"I used to sing in the choir at St. Gregory's Church on Dorchester Avenue.  Now I sing at Standish and participate in all of the art therapy classes.  Of course, the monthly bowling club is my favorite pastime." - Bobby Corrigan, Resident
