Great staff and residents
My only comment is that the last rent increase was very high and causing a bit of a hardship. But overall, compared to other communities, it is still a good value and we would recommend this community to other families based on the experience we have had.

Friends and activities
Our tour set the scene when our guide greeted by name all the people we encountered. Everyone is friendly and helpful and the activities cover most interests, so meeting people and finding friends with common interests is easy. Dinner time is often the time that one person makes up a table to introduce long time residents to the “newbie”. So pleasant!!

Nice comfortable place for mom and dad
We chose The Willows at Worcester mostly due to the location - my parents lived in the area for most their life so they wanted to stay relatively close to their friends and family. The apartment sizes are very nice. I have not heard any complaints about the food or activities. I would recommend this facility to others looking.

A positive retirement community!
I moved here from a private home in 2012. It was the perfect place for my older sister and I to spend time together in her last year and a half.
Other residents were very open and friendly. Activities were varied and had very supportive employees. My sister and I made quick "buddies" of our next door neighbors. It is a safe environment in a great area and setting!

A Place for Mom has scored The Willows at Worcester 8.9 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.
