I have lived at Santa Maria Terrace since May 2021. Not long after i became an Ambassador and later on Resident Council President. I represent the residents in all their issues that arise over their stay here. Most problems they have are minoe ones , but no matter how small the issue , I handle them all.The people who live here are good folks, and the staff is the best I have dealt with . If you want to live somewhere that is safe and cozy, Santa Maria terrace is the place for you/

My dad has lived at the Santa Maria Terrace for about 10 years and it has been the best experience for him. Meals, laundry, and room cleaning are all provided. What I really like is how caring the staff is. My dad has good relationships with all the people that help him. He has made good friends among the community as well. My dad still drives and they are great at keeping track of who is out for the day and when they return for the safety of the residents. Some have deeper needs which they provide attention to if needed. There’s always community activities. My dad enjoys the ice cream socials and card games. I love that they can arrange special gatherings for family and friends for birthdays and other celebrations. Always good food and fun on holidays.They can provide transportation for doctors appointments if needed and sometimes arrange transportation to various community events. I am so pleased with the Terrace. I’m so grateful that my dad is among caring staff and is safe and happy.

Staff are amazing and all help take good care of our Dad. I want to specifically mention; Jennifer, Amy, Elsa, Jasmin, Mike and Vanessa. The kitchen staff are too numerous to mention individually but do a great job. The staff that clean the rooms are fantastic. Everyone is friendly. We are very happy with SMT!

The facility is clean, homey, and welcoming! The staff never failed to assist us with the move in for my father Thomas. All were very courteous, compassionate and understood our needs. Michelle was with us every step of the way to help Navigate the paperwork and facility setup. I can't thank them enough for all they did.

1 year and 9 months ago we moved my father, who was 90 years old, and his wife from their home in New Hampshire to Santa Maria Terrace.  They were unable to care for themselves any longer and needed assistance.

After looking at several facilities in the area we chose the Santa Maria Terrace which offered everything we were looking for!  They were able to stay together, which was very important to us.  We were able to get a one bedroom on the ground floor which offered a bedroom and a living/eating room attached.

My stepmother is a smoker and the Terrace offers a smoking area in the beautiful courtyard. Another necessity was they offer assistance through to the end of life. I especially like their ala carte services where we were able to get the assistance that
each of them needed such as medication management, incontinence care, bathing assistance and more. The facility also offers daily activities the residents can participate in.

We are a very tight family and felt at home from the very beginning not only with the other residents but the staff as well!  We became even more attached to the wellness/care staff that were there for my father’s final months.  The level of care and
honest concern for my father was extraordinary!

I would definitely recommend Santa Maria Terrace to anyone looking for an assisted living facility for their aging parents. Coming from New Hampshire my father and his
wife really enjoyed the year-round climate that allows them to sit out in the secured courtyard almost every day.

The facility becomes like home after you have stayed here a while. The staff are exceptionally friendly and courteous. You feel like they’ve family, and you feel protective. Senior management is professional, and listen to any complaints or compliments you have. The facilities are exceptionally clean, which they work hard to maintain.
I really have nothing negative to say about staying here, and you will make some new friends.

My mom has been here for 4 months. The staff has been very attentive and kind. Her favorite thing sitting in the lobby and chatting with her friends. She is doing great and I am so thankful.

My parents have recently moved into "the terrace." The best part about it is that both of them can live together, even though only one of them really needs assistance. So far things have been going well. The staff that I have interacted with have been friendly and compassionate.
