Great staff and residents

My only comment is that the last rent increase was very high and causing a bit of a hardship. But overall, compared to other communities, it is still a good value and we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had.

Friends and activities

Our tour set the scene when our guide greeted by name all the people we encountered. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the activities cover most interests, so meeting people and finding friends with common interests is easy. Dinner time is often the time that one person makes up a table to introduce long time residents to the “newbie”. So pleasant!!

Nice comfortable place for mom and dad

We chose The Willows at Worcester mostly due to the location - my parents lived in the area for most their life so they wanted to stay relatively close to their friends and family. The apartment sizes are very nice. I have not heard any complaints about the food or activities. I would recommend this facility to others looking.

They did not meet all of my needs, and I certainly couldn't afford their prices.

A positive retirement community!

I moved here from a private home in 2012. It was the perfect place for my older sister and I to spend time together in her last year and a half. Other residents were very open and friendly. Activities were varied and had very supportive employees. My sister and I made quick "buddies" of our next door neighbors. It is a safe environment in a great area and setting!
