Who are you searching for?
Residential care homes in Lowell may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Lowell care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.
Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Lowell, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.
We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Pawtucketville, Highlands Lowell and The Acre.

Residential Care Home
They are awesome, amazing. It's clean and the staff are friendly. It's going well, I have no concerns at all. They are great!
This community was very nice we had chosen it because it felt a little homier than others we had looked at. The staff is very nice and caring and we have good communication with them. In fact, it was them that brought it to our attention that mom was going to need hospice and they were going to take care of that for us. Mom is completely wheelchair bound now to the point where they need to deliver her meals to her room. The price wasn't any more expensive than others we looked at. My brother and I feel very confident in the choice we made and we know that she is receiving the best care she can get being there.
This was THEE place for my mom. They are very caring with everyone. It’s a small center and my mother received outstanding care all the way til her recent passing. [Name removed] is the heart of facility. She went above and beyond the call of duty. She stayed with my mom through the night while she was in hospice care and was with her until my mom’s last breath. I can’t say enough about her and the staff (especially [name removed]). I am grateful to the staff and the other residents who my mother met.
