I'm a musician that spends most days performing concerts and doing music therapy at independent/assisted living communities, as well as memory care units. I'd venture to guess I've performed at more than 200 of these locations across New England. Great Woods always looks spectacular when I visit there and the staff also seems to be incredibly kind. The food also looks great. In my experience, it's a first-class place for seniors.

This past weekend I went to visit my great aunt, and honestly it was such a good experience. The place was really lively with a bunch of activities going on, so everyone seemed super engaged and social. My great aunt was busy and in a great mood, which made me feel really happy seeing how well she’s doing. The staff were super nice and attentive, and all the residents were really welcoming and polite too. It just felt like a really warm and positive environment, and it was comforting knowing she’s in a place like that.

The Residence at Great Woods for Senior/Assisted Living represents the highest of standards for the care of our loved ones. They treat each resident and patient in need with utmost dignity, respect, go above and beyond the services even needed. They handle our family members as if they are their own and have the same approach in communicating with those of us who are/ were fortunate enough to be able to entrust them with that precious care. Great Woods is blessed with a staff of not only incredible, but dedicated and skilled professionals who possess the special qualities necessary to take care of the elderly who are struggling physically, medically and cognitively. Our dad was a resident there for 5 years, initially in the general senior/assisted living area. Later on his final year, his condition required him to be moved to the memory unit. To say that our expectations were exceeded would be an understatement. The staff went way beyond that. We will forever be grateful to the leadership and staff at Great Woods for the impeccable and outstanding care provided to to our dad, as well as the way our family was treated and communicated with during the entirety of his stay. The level of service and care your dear loved family member receives at Great Woods is second to none. They are simply the best and any decision to place your loved one there will never be second guessed. You will have peace of mind.
