My parents moved into One Wingate Way nearly eight years ago. I thought it was a good move at the time and my feelings toward One Wingate Way have only strengthened with time. The staff are attentive and creative, and my folks quickly made new friends who just as quickly became friends of mine. My family has peace of mind knowing that One Wingate Way is there for my entire family.

My parents have been at One Wingate Way for 4 months and I continue to be so impressed by the entire staff. My parents' new home is filled with truly caring staff who give so much of themselves to the residents. They are amazing at recognizing the residents' needs and desires and then delivering! My parents have made wonderful new friends and the residents are a truly fun and kind group of people. I have COVID peace of mind because I know they are doing all they can to keep my parents safe. And the food is amazing!

My nonagenarian father has been a thoroughly pleased resident of One Wingate Way Independent Living since moving in four years ago. The attentiveness, enthusiasm, and friendliness of the entire staff has made him feel truly welcome and important from day one. Whatever might arise, from a balky TV remote, to a ride into Boston, to his Sunday omelet “made just the way I like it”, to a health concern, there is always someone available to help keep Dad independent. Concierge Marianne is friendly, welcoming, and consistently helpful. Activity Director Lynn takes an enthusiastic interest in residents as individuals, celebrates their life accomplishments, and organizes fun experiences. How great it was to see Dad with an ear to ear grin riding a swan boat with his Wingate family! They are the staff members I see most often and they’re always looking out for him. The facility is immaculate. It gives me tremendous peace of mind that Dad calls One Wingate Way, home.

My parents have lived at Wingate for over 2 years and have been happy. Wingate handled the Covid pandemic with so much care and safety for the residents, I am forever grateful. They went above and beyond to keep the residents safe and healthy. The staff, especially Amy Lucas who is a superstar, are wonderful. The common areas and apartments are beautiful and there is no shortage of activities and “field trips” for the residents!
