Exceptional Staff, Outstanding Services and Activities

My family is very grateful for the caring, and outstanding staff as well the comprehensive services available and provided by the Gables in Winchester. From daily check-ins with staff, to full meal and bistro dining options, housekeeping, maintenance, home care aids, and transportation services the Gables truly has thought of everything you might need at some point during your residence with them. residents truly have the independence they desire along with the personal and home services they require. The Gables coordinates additional home care and nursing services with other agencies making sure residents have the care and medical supervision they may need. A lovely, well staffed dining room provides residents a community dining experience. And last but not least the key to all the wonderful features at the Gables is their dedicated and compassionate staff, who truly make an effort each and every day to provide a welcoming and caring environment to everyone here.

The Gables

It is a small and friendly community which provides a plethora of services not only for independent living but for those who need assistance. There is a host of activities to keep the body and mind engaged. On site there is also a rehabilitation department for those requiring assistance with mobility. They provide three meals a day either in the dining room or in your unit. They are also sensitive to special dietary needs. Weekly house keeping and linen change is one of the benefits of this facility. Maintenance goes out of their way to help with projects that you need to do. The front desk staff accounts for everyone everyday twice a day. There is transportation to doctors appointments during the week and to church on Sundays.

Great experience for my dad

My father was a resident at The Gables at Winchester and most everything was great. He felt taken care of at this facility. His only complaint was the food, he would complain that it was too bland and repetitive and needed to have more variety. I would give The Gables a high reference, I would recommend them to family and friends.

Love the Gables

My mom just recently moved into the Gables, and from start to finish it was a seamless experience. The atmosphere is warm, congenial and inviting, while the staff makes sure that the community’s needs are met. Even though my mom’s move was at a difficult time during the nation’s outbreak of the Corona virus, the staff has gone out of their way to make sure of the well-being and safety of all. Our interaction with [name removed], the director of the Gables, has been most pleasant. She has been warm, sincere, and genuinely caring not only to my mom but also to me and my husband. We made the wisest decision to have my mom move into the Gables. I highly recommend the Gables.

Exceptional Service

The Gables at Winchester went above and beyond to provide a wonderful experience for my family. My mother-in-law was a resident here. We looked at 4-5 properties, but finally chose this one. The staff was friendly, the food was good, and there was a physical therapy room where she could receive her much needed PT. Everyone on staff was always kind and attentive, especially toward my mother-in-law; they went out of their way to ensure that she was comfortable and enjoying her time there. Unfortunately, she had some health issues and passed away earlier than expected. The staff members, including the administration, were amazing and supportive of our entire family. They treated my family with respect, and were very good to us during such a difficult time. We more than appreciate the attentiveness that the Gables' staff provided. Their commitment to their clients (whom they treated like family), and the care taken to provide such a consistently positive experience was remarkable. Thank you! [Removed]

I would recommend The Gables with no reservations!!!

This is our first experience with a community and The Gables is a great place. My mom is settling in well and the staff are very friendly, accommodating and helpful. She is on a restricted diet so she would say the food was bland. They offer a variety of activities, however she has not yet participated in any of them.
