“The Managers, Assistant Managers and all of the housekeeping and wait staffers are very loving people! The moment we showed up at The Highlands, total strangers welcomed us, made conversation, shared information, and many became fast friends. Thank you, Highlands for getting all these precious residents through this horrid health crisis and never giving up!!! This is a great place and we are so grateful Mom is in very good company!”

“Finding a new home with my children grown and gone, I faced a common dilemma of men in my position. What is the next step? I searched the towns around Framingham and did not see any organized living arrangements that would meet my requirements-until I saw The Highlands. This community of men and women in similar circumstances offers the amenities and the structure to sustain people of my age and experience. I have found that the company and other benefits have made my situation enjoyable and comfortable, and I look forward to what the future brings.”

“There are so many things I like about living at The Highlands that I don’t know where to begin! I was first drawn to The Highlands because I wanted to be closer to my family and I didn’t want to cook or clean anymore. But beyond that, I have been so happy to become a part of a vibrant community and to have made new friends. I also love that I am driven to the stores to go shopping and to fun outings. Our driver is just wonderful! Our activity coordinator keeps us busy and happy, and the staff is so friendly. The food here is always delicious and I never worry about doing dishes. The Highlands is decorated so beautifully, that it makes me smile when I walk in. My apartment is just the right size and I feel completely at home here. I am glad I made the decision to move to The Highlands!”
