Vernon Terrace has been such a blessing for our family. What touches me most is how genuinely they care for my mom’s comfort and dignity. The food is wonderful, but it’s the way they handle it that means the most — on days when she doesn’t feel up to joining everyone in the dining room, her meals are brought directly to her apartment with such kindness and understanding.<br><br>It makes her feel looked after without ever feeling pressured.<br>I have also been impressed with the other residents I have met. The Vernon Terrace community is full of interesting people with diverse backgrounds and life stories. The opportunities for connection and engagement here are real. I am grateful to see Mom as part of a community again.<br><br>The combination of great food, supportive staff, and a truly engaging resident community has made it a perfect fit for her. We’re deeply grateful to Vernon Terrace for giving her a place where she feels safe, respected, and truly at home.

Placing a loved one in memory care is never easy, however our family’s experience with the Willows at Vernon Terrace made this difficult transition as seamless as possible. From the beginning, their thoughtfulness, attention to detail, and quality of care was evident as we toured the Willows facility and interviewed staff. Their intake process encompassed more than a medical diagnosis — it also focused on learning about our dad’s vibrant past, along with his likes and dislikes. Once he was situated in his new home, everyone on the care team went above and beyond to help our dad acclimate to his new environment. We were impressed by their extensive daily programming designed to engage residents, foster connection, and enhance quality of life. Family members are welcome to participate in a wide range of activities such as crafts, games, music, movies, and religious services, and we enjoyed joining our dad for bingo, trivia, and mass. He also loved the many field trips, holiday parties, and birthday celebrations arranged by the Willows team. The memory care staff was attentive and diligent in assisting with lifestyle needs such as grooming, housekeeping, and laundry. The on-site PT and OT services helped identify adaptive equipment to ensure a safe environment for our dad. In addition, the Director of Nursing provided expert guidance and supportive counsel as our dad’s care needs changed. If you are evaluating memory care facilities, our family highly recommends The Willows at Vernon Terrace. We are so grateful for the love and care they provided our dad, and the kindness they extended to us.

My almost 90 year old mom moved into Vernon Terrace last August. She receives excellent care here and the experience has allowed our family to have the peace of mind that she is safe, happy and fulfilled. The facility is well maintained, offers excellent meals and plenty of activities. In addition, her apartment is very well appointed and comfortable. This move has been very positive and it is a relief to not have to worry that my mom is getting the care she needs. Great senior living experience!

We came here kicking and fighting as we did not want to leave our personal residence after so many years. After being here three months we know this was the right decision and for so many reasons. Being within walking distance of a grocery , hardware and drug stores,library, senior center and church are all huge bonuses we didn’t think much about when originally making our decision. Also, the bus service to shopping and medical appointments is huge. All of these conveniences combined with the caring and friendly attitude of the staff, from the Director to dining room staff, make Vernon Terrace a very special place. Now, we’re glad to be here!

Vernon Terrace has been a blessing for our family. My mother moved from a different memory care community that wasn’t as good a fit. The people that work at Vernon Terrace are truly devoted to their jobs and treat my mother with such kindness and patience. My dad visits everyday day and he feels so welcome there. VT has very high standards in who they hire, how they run the building and how they take care of their residents. I encourage anyone looking for a wonderful neighborhood senior living community to put Vernon Terrace on your list to visit.
