Youville Place

My mother lived at Youville Place in Lexington, Massachusetts for six months during the [date removed] for what was a recovery and "Respite" period following her fall in [date removed]. My mother's care was first rate. Her stay at Youville enabled her to fully heal and to return to her home just recently. During her stay she made several friends and enjoyed the cultural, spiritual and fitness activities offered at Youville. This is an organization focused on care. When she is ready to give up her home Youville will always be her first choice for Assisted Living.

I highly recommend Youville Place! The staff are skilled, kind, thorough and heavily invested in the well-being of the residents. We feel incredibly fortunate that Youville Place had an opening for our family member. Our family member often says, "I wish I didn't need to live in an assisted living environment. But since I do, this is the very best place I could be." We could not agree more.

My mother lives here for two and half years. Both the residents and staff are very kind. She said people here treats her like a family member. She can also attend many activities that she liked, such as exercise, music events, dance. The facility environment both outside and inside is very nice.

Mom has been a resident of YouVille for over 3 years and during very trying times with the. Pandemic hitting in 2020. The staff at YouVille went to extraordinary lengths to ensure the safety of residents with regular testing and COVID vaccines. They also ensured social distancing to all while still providing excellent meal services, medical and other assisted living services. We were grateful that Mom was in the safest place possible given the circumstances. The staff also went to great lengths to get programs and activities back on track once it was safe.

My grandmother moved to Youville in [date removed] and we couldn't be happier. She has daily activities, which are different every week. She enjoys a variety of foods and plenty of trips. Youville staff goes above and beyond to care for residents. From the front desk staff, to the administration, to the healthcare workers, to the dining room and maintenance staff, everyone is so pleasant and respectful. My grandmother has made great friendships and has felt so welcomed from day one. Every time I visit, I am welcomed by staff and other residents with such warmth. There is a beautiful library and game room with a fireplace between, country kitchens for visits, a community room, communal computer, and plenty of sitting nooks throughout the facility. Youville has been such a gem for our family. We are beyond grateful to have found such a comfortable, loving, and caring community for my grandmother. I cannot recommend them highly enough!

When my mother came to Youville Place four years ago, she was depressed and in ill health. Now she is a vibrant 97-year-old who looks forward to eating with her friends everyday, going to fun activities (her favorites are ballroom dancing and bingo), and entertaining family members in her apartment and the Country Kitchen. She is finally able to go to church again and does so everyday. The chapel, which is very near her apartment, is open 24/7. In addition, her health has actually improved, even through the challenges of the pandemic. As her daughter, I no longer worry about how well she is taken care of or what will happen in a crisis. I firmly believe Youville Place, with its beautiful facility and dedicated, compassionate staff, has added years to my mother's life.

Our Mom needed to find a place that could provide the immediate services she needed now, with the expansive services of memory care if that day were to come. From the day we stepped through the doors of Youville Place, we were welcomed. The staff was extraordinarily engaging with our Mom, and comforting to her children that she has found a new home. They helped in all ways possible to create a space she would feel comfortable. Having the chapel was such an added bonus and the food our Mom can't say enough about. We couldn't be happier with her choice to become part of the Youville Place community, and we can't thank them enough for welcoming her.
