Whitney Place at Westborough supports three levels of residential care—Independent Living, Assisted Living, and Memory Care—so residents can remain in familiar surroundings even as needs change. The community accepts people with advanced dementia and provides short-term respite stays, diabetes management, and staff trained specifically in memory-care techniques. This range of clinical programs allows families to select the exact level of oversight required, from minimal support in Independent Living to 24-hour cueing and redirection in Memory Care.
Continuous health monitoring is built into daily life. A licensed nurse is on duty around the clock, backed up by a 24-hour nurse on call and emergency pull cords that dial 911 directly. On-site services include hospice, high-acuity and non-ambulatory care, speech and occupational therapy, physical therapy, dental and podiatry services, hearing care, and medication management. Personal care staff provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, along with incontinence programs. Residents who use walkers, wheelchairs, or need a one-person transfer receive help as needed, and pet therapy complements traditional clinical interventions.
Apartments vary in size and layout but may feature a private bathroom, kitchenette, furnished living area, independent temperature controls, cable hookups, and the option to paint or decorate the space. Housekeeping is provided, and some units have in-unit laundry; scheduled laundry services are available for others. Not every apartment includes every feature, so it is advisable to verify the specific amenities during a tour.
Meals follow an on-order system that lets residents choose dishes at each seating rather than sticking to a fixed menu. The culinary team can adjust portion sizes, textures, and ingredients to match medical directives such as carbohydrate-controlled diets for diabetes or softer foods for residents with swallowing concerns. When needed, staff offer hands-on assistance to ensure all residents receive proper nutrition.
Community amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, outdoor smoking areas, and a policy that allows pets. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, and communal gardens offer daily engagement, while high-speed internet supports online connections. Regular on-site religious services and special-interest clubs round out a practical array of options for social, spiritual, and recreational involvement.
