Read What Others Are Saying

Whether you are considering Colonial Schools for your child, thinking of joining our Wellness Center, wanting to take part in any of our numerous community services, or trying to decide between a home at Berkeley Square or at Westover, informed opinions from participants and residents are invaluable.


Berkeley Square

  • "Our family was so thrilled, because there were so many things that if we needed would be here, and our family knew we'd be taken care of."

    — Berkeley Square resident, Jeanette Malling
  • "We came here seven days in a row looking for something we might not like, and couldn't find it."

    — Berkeley Square resident, Ed Malling
  • "It is satisfying to know that the compassion and love I have for others will last beyond my lifetime."

    — Berkeley Square Resident, Matha Jane Spain
  • "I rely on the Tavern for a number of business luncheons. It is a private and friendly place that can accommodate both food and business under one roof, with an excellent staff to meet your every need."

    — VP, Interior Design, Steed Hammond Paul Architects, Cindy Dingeldein

Westover

  • "I would tell anybody interested in Westover to consider the fact that they will be taken care of the rest of their life."

    — Westover resident, Bill Hedgecock

Physical Therapy Center

    Bever Wellness Center

    • "I have a better outlook on life after joining here."

      — Wellness Center member, Betty Spicer

    Colonial Schools

    • "I wouldn't be a bit surprised that I enjoy more reading to them than they do listening to me actually. I get such a terrific kick out of it."

      — Berkeley Square resident, Ryan Hall
    • "They love it. They love the friendships, they love the music. They love Spanish – they can’t wait to do Spanish on Wednesdays. They love their teachers – they talk all the time about their teachers. We incorporate [the Schools] just completely into our lives."

      — Colonial School parent, Patty Scott
    • "Each of us had our own resident that we would write to and make cards for and everything, and they would come over and visit us. So that was a special part for us as well as for them."

      — Preschool graduate –1984, Emilie Thurman

    Community Services

    • "My mother is 82. Lifeline [Emergency Response System] has now given her the independence that she has cherished for these last 15 years since my father passed away. It has given me the confidence so I can go and do my job, I can travel from state to state, and I know that somebody is there to listen for her if she needs something and will take care of her."

      — Greg McSwain, Son of Lifeline client
    • "My grandmother is now a recipient of Meals-on-Wheels, and I know this was a big step for her. She was very unsure if she wanted that extra help, and I saw how much she appreciated it. I enjoy volunteering because it is very rewarding knowing that I am helping out whomever I can."

      — Meals-on-Wheels volunteer, Rhonda Brown
    • "And they do it so graciously and warmly that you don't feel like you're among strangers at all. It's a wonderful spirit."

      — Ed Malling, Berkeley Square resident
