My parents joined the community three years ago and we are so grateful. They were 93 and 95 at the time, and leaving a family home from out of state. It’s a vibrant community, . The staff are compassionate and kind and supported by vigilant administrators and they are enriched by active community and an engagement staff that truly looks to find shared interests and builds programming around that. A elderly couple poses a challenge, as their needs are different. The nursing, building staff, aides, and an entire community of friends have been very supportive in helping them to meet their primary stated goal “ to be together”. We can speak to all living options as we have progressed through all, the independent, assisted, and memory care. This is private pay and costly - you are choosing a quality of life option, and one must recognize that they provide very limited medical support, but we are very happy that our parents (grandparents -great grandparents) have found a true home here !

We had to take our father out after they kicked him out. They called the police on him many times and could not do their job. They just wanted to collect rent with no hassle. Most were unprofessional. I do not recommend this place at all for someone with Alzheimer's. Most of the staff were rude and nasty. We placed our father in Windrose in Woburn and immediately noticed a positive within him. The staff was great in treating him and checking on him daily. The staff had a lot of respect and professionalism.

My mom lives in the memory care unit which is absolute wonderful to her! The staff is caring and kind and her personal care and room are well taken care of. She lived in independent living and moved over about a year ago and I was very nervous since it’s a hard step. I am very pleased, if you are going through this this home is wonderful.
