Child of resident/client

5.0 out of 5 stars

We made a great choice for our family.

My mother appreciates the library and book club, topics club, etc. The resident garden club has multiple rose and flower beds on the property and a lovely plant/flower room on the fourth floor. There is also an active cooking club. There is also a woodworking shop for residents. Of course, there are also exercise classes at multiple levels. The Willows does not have a pool or bowling alley: we did not care about that, but some families might. This is a place of smart, professional adults who want to be intellectually challenged. I will say it is not the most beautiful lobby/ and some of the public areas need to be updated a little, particularly their large activity room/movie theater. However, her unit was the nicest we saw-- and that is what mattered most to her. Also, we were able to customize it for her: choosing cabinetry and flooring in my mother's tastes. The food is terrific as well, and the dining room is lovely. This is one of the older populations I saw in independent living communities, about half are still driving and many utilize walkers. My own parent has a walker. However, it's an exceptionally smart and curious community, still expanding their interests!

Thoughtful programming

It was a pleasure sharing my family’s Holocaust survival story at The Willows. The Engagement Director was very easy to work with, from planning to event set up to checking in with me to be sure I had whatever I needed. She engaged with the residents in a warm and friendly way, which helped set the atmosphere for meaningful event. The tech support person was amazingly helpful.

Fantastic experience spanning 2 generations in my family!

I highly recommend The Willows of Westborough! My grandmother lived there for over 10 yrs and loved it, and because of that immensely positive experience, my Dad has opted to move to The Willows. When my Dad and I toured The Willows, it was quite noticeable how friendly and welcoming the residents and staff were. It was easy to ask questions and get helpful answers. Of special note, each time we asked a resident how the food was, the response was always a resounding “great!”. That was what my Dad was hoping for, since he remembered how much my grandmother loved the food! Now that my Dad has moved in, I’ve dined with him a few times. Wow, the ambiance, food and dining staff are comparable to fancy restaurant! Also be sure to check out the myriad of social activities on the calendar. Additionally, a huge shout-out to the team at The Willows who were instrumental in helping me customize specific care needs for my Dad, who is blind. It is so nice to see my Dad happy again!

Happy Dad is at the Willows

My Dad has been a resident of Willows at Westborough for 4 years. He is very happy at The Willows. He is comfortable there and has made friends. My sister and I also feel good that he is able to be independent yet has access to services if needed.
