I can't say enough good things about the Neighborhood at Wingate Residences at Needham. My brother has early onset Alzeihmers and we feel lucky to have found the Neighborhood. Jose and his team care about and care for each resident with compassion and dignity. They also care about the loved ones of residents keeping us very well informed. The facilities are absolutely beautiful and they have loads of activities to keep the residents engaged. I highly recommend.

The entire staff at Wingate Residence at Needham is absolutely fantastic. As you walk in the door you are greeted by Nina at the desk who makes you feel welcome and she also has all the answers to any questions you may have. Then to the Neighborhood where the entire staff starting at the top is Jose the director where he sets the upbeat tone which is carried through with Ali, Freddy Abby and the entire caregivers, and nursing staff. As a family member I am always amazed and comforted by the individual attention to each resident and the happy and well cared for our loved one’s. Thank you and 5 stars are not enough.

This review is long overdue. My mother-in-law (MIL) lived in the Wingate at Needham "neighborhood" for almost one and one-half years during the difficult period after her husband suddenly passed away and her sister soon after. We knew that she could not live alone due to advancing dementia, and that being home with round-the-clock, (sometimes unreliable) care would be the wrong choice for a very vibrant, social person in need of companionship, supervision, and stimulation. We also live out of state and there are very few people left in MIL's home town of Newton, MA.<br><br>I can't say enough good things about the Wingate Memory Care Unit. We will always be grateful to the Executive Director, Sara Rizzari, for her flexibility in working with our family to help us arrange: first respite care, then permanent housing, then the transition from Wingate to a memory care unit 8 minutes from our home. We are especially grateful for the ever optimistic, joyful, compassionate, and capable Jose Soto, all of his staff (special shout-out to Ally), nursing staff, and kitchen staff for taking such excellent physical, spiritual, and social care of MIL. Especially living out of state, we did not worry about MIL's care and well-being until such time as we could move her close to home. When we visited, MIL always looked happy, healthy and engaged. She truly was able to live a high-quality life at Wingate.<br><br>Thanks to all. Recommend without reservation!

I am very disappointed with what I witnessed at this facility during breakfast in the dining area. A staff member named Ketly was speaking to another staff member in a disrespectful and aggressive way — raising her voice and humiliating her in front of the residents.<br>This kind of behavior is completely unacceptable and unprofessional, especially in a place that is supposed to care for elderly individuals with dignity and respect. No one, staff or resident, should be exposed to that kind of tension.<br>The atmosphere in an assisted living facility should be calm, kind, and supportive. What I observed was the opposite and left a very negative impression. I hope management addresses this issue seriously, but based on what I saw, I cannot recommend this facility at this time.

Jose, Abbey, Fredy, & Rick are the staff I personally know the best. They are absolutely outstanding all in their own unique and special ways. They have all gone above and beyond with the care of my aunt & uncle. My family is so blessed to have them in our lives.
