I am a friend or relative of a current/past resident

We moved mom to Heywood Wakefield Commons. They're very caring, attentive, and patient. They try to get to know the residents and take care of their specific needs. They have a full calendar of activities ranging from exercise, games, puzzles, and music. They have two movies a week. They have a Scrabble club. They have a lot of activities for different interests. There's something for everyone. The food was pretty good. My mom thinks overall, it's good quality. They have their big meal in the middle …

I visited this facility

I toured Heywood Wakefield Commons. My big problem with it was the lack of green space. They only provided two options for the meals. When I asked them what about people who can't eat that food, the staff member said, "Well, if he can't eat it, just don't eat it, and eat everything else that's on the plate." That did not go over with me. The common areas were very lovely. The room that they showed me were kind of rundown. The only good thing they had going for them was they have rooms …

My mother has been a resident here for 2 years now. She loves the staff and they really seem to care about the welfare of the clients. The apartments are very nice. The whole place has an atmosphere of elegance, yet still has a homey feel. It is very clean and they do a good job of maintaining my mom's apartment. The maintenance staff is very responsive and helpful when she has called them with any concerns or needs help. Aides are also very good. They make the residents feel like part of a family....very warm…

My ex mother-in-law lives in Haywood Wakefield, and she’s very happy there. It’s a nice place, and it’s for lower income so that’s a factor as well. It’s a close proximity to where my sister resides. They gave us a tour and talked to us about different things that are available. The room we saw was a studio, it has a living room, dining room, and kitchen in one section and a huge bathroom. It was very clean. Both the staff and the residents seemed to be happy. The dining room had assigned seating for people, it see…

She's been in Heywood Wakefield Commons for nine months now, and I'm very happy with the place. It's a very nice facility. Everything is inclusive: all the care that they need in assisted living, whether it's help getting dressed or help taking a bath or shower. All the meals are included, and the staff is very friendly. I have no complaints. They have bingo, they do a lot of puzzles, they have entertainment that comes in. They go on field trips to an apple farm or to the stores, where the elder…
