About the facility
Notre Dame du Lac

The peaceful, serene, scenic location and beautiful structure that was originally built in 1900 to serve as the convent for the Sisters of Notre Dame, today houses the vibrant du Lac Assisted Living community.

Our mission remains deeply committed to that of Saint Julie Billiart, founder of the order of Sisters of Notre Dame de Namur. Notre Dame du Lac feels like a true home filled with friends, comfort, safety and love, thanks to the caring staff, lush grounds, unique and tastefully designed apartments, exceptional cuisine, and wide array of social activities.

Outdoors, the grounds feature walking paths filled with religious statues and wooden benches that offer residents a place to take a stroll, rest and reflect. Couples, family members and friends can often be seen enjoying the solace of the gazebo nestled among the trees. Located near the gazebo is also the Cuvilly Remembrance Garden, a beautiful and calming place for personal reflection.

Excellent hospice care and activities for the dementia ward of Notre Dame assisted living. Very limited activities at the long term care, dementia care ward, due to ratio of ND staff to residents. Many residents required extra attention in my honest opinion. The CNA staff turnover seemed much less than her previous place, Nashoba Park in Ayer, MA. One of my mom's CNAs had been there for over 20 yrs - at Notre Dame. The ND facility is on beautiful grounds. It was very tranquil and serene, with sitting areas, statues, manicured lawns and lush landscapes. Very well cared for, both inside and out. The furnishings are very well maintained, with comfortable chairs and rooms to enjoy time with the residents.

Always Room for Improvements
The Harmony (dementia) ward of Notre Dame has an excellent supply of external healthcare (primary care, podiatry) and personal (hair) services connected. Very helpful. Honestly, I am concerned about her care as I believe the staff is a little bit low and a lack of my loved one being cared for at night is resulting in some healthcare issues. I am going to address these with the staff next week. [name removed] previous ALF served Mediterranean meals. I wonder about the fat content in the food at Notre Dame. I've eaten there 4+ times and it's been too fatty for me. My loved one has gained a lot of weight and I believe it's a combination of the fatty foods (lots of extra carbs) and them taken taking her off of her water pill because they don't want to change her pads in the middle of the night. These are two things I'm going to be talking to them about next week.

Wonderful!
My mom is a resident of Harmony at Notre Dame. It has been a wonderful experience. The staff is kind, knowledgeable, and they take great care of my mom! My siblings and I can sleep easy at night knowing our mother is in a safe, secure, and loving environment. Highly recommend!

Notre Dame du Lac has been an amazing experience so far, we cannot think of even one minor thing that would be a negative. This community had made a world of difference in our lives, it has been nothing but something positive. The staff members are outstanding and will do anything and everything to work with your family no matter the circumstance. It is almost like its to good to be true. Our loved ones are happy, safe, clean and well fed. Physical therapy is a few times a week and our loved one is walking better then ever. Our loved one is happier then she has been in years. They have a ton of different things going on - they are kept so busy and active. They are very religious and are able to go to church 6 days a week which is very meaningful to them. It has exceed our expectation and we would absolutely recommend this community to other families.

Tips for evaluating your community options

Safety is a primary concern when seniors and their families look for Assisted Living. To ensure that a community meets your needs and expectations, we recommend that seniors and family members:

  • Tour the location: Touring allows you to speak to current residents and staff, and helps you confirm the accuracy of the community description and photos. Use our touring checklist to help guide your visit.

  • Confirm the availability of required services: Before you commit, make sure that the community offers all the services your senior needs, and that those services can be provided within your budget.

  • Know the Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living: Each state has its own laws and inspections processes to ensure seniors reside in a safe environment. Depending on your state, you may even be able to look up inspection reports for the community(ies) you’re considering. Learn more about Massachusetts regulations for Assisted Living.

A Place for Mom has scored Notre Dame du Lac 8 out of 10 using our proprietary review score.

 

We assign review scores to give a more reliable view into senior living communities and home care agencies. Our review scores prioritize reviews that are recent — the past 24 months — because we know families need current information when choosing senior care.

 

Those with many recent, positive reviews receive a high review score, while providers with few recent reviews — regardless of how positive — receive a lower review score. Communities with no recent reviews will not have a review score, even if older reviews are positive. The maximum A Place for Mom review score a community can receive is 10 points.
