    Well maintained community; dining, communication

    I moved my mom into this newer, spotless independent-living community and overall we're pleased. The building, apartments (balconies, walk-in showers) and grounds are beautiful and well-maintained, housekeeping is weekly, maintenance is responsive, and staff are warm, attentive and remember residents' names. There are lots of activities and on-site amenities (transportation, salon, outings) that my mom enjoys. Food is variable and meal service can be slow, and the place isn't set up for higher-level nursing care. Communications have been frustrating at times - management turnover, no single contact person and some front-desk runaround. Pricing is reasonable with no big buy-in, so it's good value for independent living if you confirm management stability and dining meet your needs.

    About The Highlands Gracious Retirement Living

    The Highlands Gracious Retirement Living stands as a senior living community in Westborough, MA, where folks looking for active and comfortable living find what they need without any fuss. People can pick from over 40 floor plans, including pet-friendly studios, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom apartments, all with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, patios or balconies, and emergency pull cords linking to management 24 hours a day. There's no buy-in fee or long-term lease, and the all-inclusive monthly rent covers electricity, water, basic cable, three chef-prepared meals every day, weekly housekeeping, linen service, local transportation, and plenty of planned activities. Staff handle housekeeping, linen, and maintenance, so residents can focus more on enjoying life rather than chores, and the management team lives on-site with always someone available for support at any time, day or night.

    An executive chef and culinary team cook home-style meals from scratch, serving breakfast, lunch, and dinner in an elegant dining room filled with natural light, chandeliers, and artwork, while friendly staff serve every meal with a smile. Residents can relax with a book by the fireplace in the library, watch a movie in the theater, play billiards or games in the lounge, or get together for crafts, TV shows, or puzzles in cozy common spaces that make it easy to talk with neighbors. Outdoor areas, walking paths, gardens, and community patios are available for stretching legs or just sitting for a coffee and a chat, and transportation is ready for doctor's appointments, shopping, outings, and trips to local parks or museums, keeping people connected to the wider community.

    The Highlands has a full range of care options, including independent living, assisted living, memory care, nursing home services, rehab, adult day care, home health, and medication management, as well as daily help with bathing, dressing, and other tasks, with 24-hour supervision available for those who need it. Residents decide how active they want to be, joining in games, fitness classes, arts, learning new skills, or taking part in social outings, group meals, and regular community events. A resident travel program lets people visit dozens of other communities nationwide and stay for up to seven nights at no extra cost, which is handy for seeing the country or checking in with loved ones in other towns. The Highlands keeps things safe, comfortable, and welcoming, with friendly staff who get to know people and a focus on helping residents stay independent and connected as long as they want to be.
