The facility was somewhat what I was looking for. It had a little more space than others that I looked at. It had some outdoor areas that interested me. The raised beds for use by community was nice. The pottery as well as other activities were of interest to me. The facility is not far from [removed] where my husband resides.

I did have lunch there and it was home made mac n cheese with stewed tomatoes and it was very good. The place is very clean and nicly decorated.

Review for The Willows at Worcester

My mom is very happy. She likes the people there and is starting to join in on some of the activities and has enjoyed them so far. She said the food is good. The staff have been helpful and accommodating. Her 2 bedroom is perfect for her. She is able to have her craft space and a space for guests. She is glad she moved to the willows.
