The facility was somewhat what I was looking for. It had a little more space than others that I looked at. It had some outdoor areas that interested me. The raised beds for use by community was nice. The pottery as well as other activities were of interest to me. The facility is not far from [removed] where my husband resides.

I liked what I saw but wanted to see more but do to my knee I couldn't do anymore walking. Too bad they didn't have an electric wheel chair that I could have used. I wanted to see a two bedroom unit. I did have lunch there and it was home made mac n cheese with stewed tomatoes and it was very good. The place is very clean and nicly decorated. I like the fact they have a heated indoor pool and hot tub. I didn't buy in because this was my first tour and plan on going to see another facility next week which has a smaller buy in amount. I was not impressed with the kitchen and bathroom. I would want to remove that one piece shower unit and see about a walkin tub.

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.

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.

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!
