What Shearwater Residence has on record

Nothing on record yet.

Not listed doesn’t mean not offered. It means there’s no record, so ask.

Also listed on their website

  • dementia care
  • hospice and palliative care

Being on record means the state or Shearwater Residence lists it. It doesn’t mean they’ve accepted your senior or have a room.

Cost Where this comes fromPrices and rooms come from the community’s own website, dated when we saw them. The typical range uses communities nearby that publish prices.

Rating & safety How to read thisThese are the state’s own categories. Type A: problems that, if not corrected, put residents’ health, safety or rights at direct and immediate risk. Type B: problems that could become a risk without correction, or record-keeping problems that affect care. Both must be corrected. Complaints the state didn’t confirm are shown but never counted against the community.

    We moved my Grandfather into Shearwater last November from a larger facility. It has been the best move we could have made for him. He is absolutely thriving there! He is beyond happy and loves the caregivers. They truly care about each and every resident and their individual needs. It has a small family feel that a big community can’t offer. Becky and Scott, the owners are always available to…

    We only wish we had found this location sooner in my mom's journey with dementia. Everyone who interacted with Mom was caring and appeared to be truly invested in her being happy. Sadly, our stay was short (less than 5 months). My mom passed because of advanced dementia. In our short time here we interacted with almost all the staff and several of the residents. All of the residents spoke highly…

    Wonderful care home!! My mother-in-law has been here for almost 2 years now and I can not believe how much her health has improved both mentally and physically. The room and common areas are always spotless and the caregivers are caring and professional. This was the best decision we could have made when choosing a facility to care for our mom!!

    My Mom has been at Shearwater for over 3 years and she is well taken care of. She enjoys the friends she's made there and she likes the staff. It's like a family. There are workers who have worked there a long time and it's a smaller, intimate facility, which is great. During the pandemic, the workers have done what they could to make the lock down easier on the residents and families. My Mom…
