The Lane family

Melrose

"On behalf of my mother Edith Lane who passed away at age 93, I want to thank Joyce, Kate and the staff of The Fitch in Melrose for making the last three years of her life comfortable and enjoyable.

The Fitch is a wonderful assisted-living facility. There is Ell Pond in the backyard, with the ducks, geese and swans passing by, making it a beautiful setting."

Dee Mandolese

"I will continue to give The Fitch 5 stars, even though my mom is no longer there. They got my mom through a very tough year, plus, when her health issues were more than my brother or I could support. I still visit their staff when I can and do my best to drop off a small token of our appreciation every holiday."

We Look Forward to Welcoming You to Our Home!
