My dad had a routine procedure and the following day he could no longer walk for some reason. There was time in a few hospitals and some illnesses to follow. Communal living presents contagion problems, no matter how clean they are. After several skilled nursing facilities, dad got to Covenant. The grounds are gorgeous, reminiscent of a Hawaiian island resort. Every time I visit, the caregivers come in and check his vitals and blood sugars and pulse and oxygen. When he presses the button, within minutes they show up to help. Everyone I’ve met there has been very kind and thoughtful, and dad agrees with that. It is a costly home, but his needs are well met. He gets good quality and prompt medical care which makes a big difference. He gets physical therapy and occupational therapy. He needs help getting up or out of bed and they come help. He says the meals are also good. He has a nice room on the window side, which makes a big difference in how you feel and how you recover. It's a dedicated community with ample parking. The staff can guide you to a room or a restroom. I understand they have a hair salon and I think a restaurant on site too. The pool is beautiful, and the grounds are just outstanding. I am so very thankful to them because they’re providing the care for the most important person in my life, who deserves the absolute best. I hope that all my dad‘s kindness and thoughtfulness of others comes back to him here, at least as close as it can, but nothing really could match my dad. Covenant is the best!

Covenant Living at Mount Miguel is more than just a senior living community—it's a vibrant, welcoming home filled with life, purpose, and heart. From the beautifully landscaped grounds and peaceful koi pond to the wide range of activities and wellness programs, this community truly supports an active and fulfilling lifestyle. One of the biggest reasons I feel so confident and cared for here is Jill in the Sales Office. Jill is an absolute gem—her support doesn’t stop after move-in. She’s the go-to person when something needs to get done, and she always follows through with warmth, professionalism, and a can-do attitude. Her dedication to residents is unmatched, and she’s a huge part of what makes this place feel like home. The entire staff—from the front desk to dining services to facilities—is incredibly kind and attentive. They go above and beyond to ensure residents feel safe, respected, and engaged. Whether it’s a friendly greeting, a well-prepared meal, or prompt help with maintenance, their care and commitment shine through every day. If you're looking for a community that offers not just care, but connection, joy, and peace of mind, I can’t recommend Covenant Living at Mount Miguel enough.

If I could get my parents to leave Boston this is where they would be thriving! This is a different type of community sprawled on 31 acres of outside type of living. It is not a hotel style community is one that is active and gets you outside getting fresh air and vitamin D. The staff is amazing and the residents are so friendly and serving. There is all level of care from independent, assisted living, memory care, and skilled nursing all within the community, so you don’t have to move your family members to another location and all of their friends and everything they know is there. So much to do if you want or you can live a quiet life too. Planning for the future is overwhelming but they know how to guide you through.

My parents live at the Covenant Village at Mount Miguel and I couldn’t be more pleased! The Village staff are friendly, professional, and very helpful. My parents have an independent living apartment, and we have peace of mind knowing that someone checks every day to make sure they are safe and well. Skilled nursing and memory care are also available on campus. They have access to great nutritional meals and exercise classes. Since moving to Mt Miguel a couple years ago, my parents are healthier and more active. They have wonderful neighbors and the staff encourages everyone who lives there to participate at some level in community activities, most of which are run by residents for the residents. During a walk on campus on any given day, we are sure to be greeted by friendly, smiling neighbors and staff. I would highly recommend Covenant Living at Mount Miguel to anyone seeking retirement living.
