Salmon Health and Retirement

Whitney Place is first class all the way. My parents live there in the same room and I live out of state. I never have to worry about their safety or security knowing where they are now. The staff is beyond phenomenal! The care, the concern, and the compassion each employee provides is outstanding. [names removed] are so empathic and work hard with families to find the right place for them. I cannot speak more highly about this place and our family is extremely grateful our parents are there.

My mom is very happy at Whitney Place. She enjoys the activities they plan each week. The staff is very friendly and so helpful. We are extremely happy with our experiences at Whitney Place. Our family feels very comforted knowing our mom is in great care there!

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!!

The hospital did not catch that my loved one had actually had a stroke the day before they moved her to Whitney Place, even though I told them that something was wrong. The nurse at the hospital would not listen to my concerns. I also told the people at Whitney Place that something was wrong and they worked with us helping to change meds (which I thought at the time must be the problem.) Everyone was kind and compassionate. The PCA was so kind! Speaking softly and encouragingly - when she didn't know I had just arrived and her back was toward me, I actually startled her when I spoke. I was so very relieved to know that when family wasn't around, the staff was wonderful. The nurses kept in touch with me almost daily, giving updates and asking questions. And they did have quite a challenge since we did not know what had brought the change to my loved one and she was declining quickly. I would certainly recommend Whitney Place to others.

The Willows at Worcester community is clean and very well maintained. It has a lively atmosphere with a lot of amenities and activities for the residents to take advantage of. Based on the experience we have had so far, we would recommend this community to other families.

It is an active community with lots of social activities to help people meet. My parents felt at home there. It was lively.

The main issue is that, clothes gets lost when the laundry is done. It's a still work in progress. They are very good, and they do what they say. In general, they are quite good and consistent. They are responsive, and they do follow through well. Overall, the facility is well maintained and the food is good. Overall, I would recommend to other families.

We are so happy with the care that my family member gets. The management staff is kind, compassionate and always willing to go above and beyond. The staff of nurses, welcome desk folk and medical professionals are all knowledgeable, kind, and make residents and family members feel at home. Lastly - the food is actually pretty good!

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.

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.

We are thrilled with our experience that our loved one has had at Whitney Place. The staff at Whitney Place have been wonderful to care for my loved one. They take my loved one into the activities room to be able to participate in the activities offered. It is wonderful that we are able to still have contact by phone with my loved one and the staff make sure they reach us when requested. My loved one is happy here.

This community was great they just were only assisted living and we needed independent living. my loved one was just not at this point yet. The tours were great my loved one was just not at that point yet.

We came to the Willows for an easy retirement life. We got it!. It's an easy , interesting, educational, healthy. fun and fitness, too. Pick what you want to do, choose something new to do. Want to hibernate and read, it's there. Don't worry you will have the time to participate because the super delicious food is presented to you magically with all choices to please every palate. Dine with your neighbors, meet new neighbors and become fast friends.. This all comes about from an efficient, creative and caring staff, attending to your evert need, WOW, easy living. Thanks, Willows

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!

They do everything well here. They pay special attention to every single one of the residents. They have intellectually stimulating games available to the residents as well, which is very engaging. My mother is in better shape now than I have seen her in the last two years. She is always clean, they have done great with accommodating for her diet, and they did a great job protecting the residents from the Covid-19 pandemic. The administrative staff is also great. When we first admitted my mother, she was in the hospital and unable to live independently. After living with me for a short time, we looked around and found A Place for Mom who pointed us to Whitney Place. After a second short hospital stay, one of the staff visited the hospital where my mother was personally to assess her situation. I love it over there at Whitney Place and I can't imagine any better place.

When my Mom moved in I could never have imagined a time where I wouldn't be able to visit her but COVID-19 has changed the world. We know that she is in the best possible place and is getting the best possible care in these uncertain times. I cannot say enough wonderful things about the staff at this facility! They are skilled, loving, caring and take care of my Mom just like I would - they are now an extension of our family. Thank you to all!

The staff are very motivating to the residents by getting them up, offering them activities to do, and getting them moving. Their approach is tailored to memory care and very gentle and encouraging. Their meals offer multiple choices and a good balance of food. My grandmother actually said they make the best rice pudding she has ever eaten in her life! Whitney Place is the whole package which takes away the worry for me. They call me and keep my updated all the time, but with I like most, is that they even update me on the little things.

This location was top notch, clean, well decorated, and the food was delicious.

Very convenient. Has nursing care on site if/when needed/ This place was amazing. By far my first choice thus far.

My parents have been here for a couple of months and things seem to be going well. The staff has been good and the interactions they have with my parents are good. Mom and Dad love the food and there are a lot of options to choose from. The kitchen really goes out of their way to find food that the residents like and my parents are eating very well. In fact, my Mom has even gained weight since living here (which is a good thing). The facility is very clean and I have no complaints about that. Because the facility is small, they don’t seem to offer a lot of activities and there are rarely any residents walking around. However, if you’re looking for a smaller community that feels more like home then I would recommend this place.
