The tour I had at The Residence at Great Woods was very thorough. We were shown all of the different amenities and the people were extremely friendly and very open in terms of what was available. We just got a very nice, warm feeling about the place. The two women we spoke with were very helpful and made the whole situation a lot easier. They have a deluxe studio and a one-bedroom. They have a lot of activities during the day. There's bingo, puzzles, movies, and a van that will take them to local stores and to the doctors. They have a dining area that's very large, laundry, and a salon. You can be as independent as you want to be and then if you need assistance, they're there to help you.

We have chosen The Residence at Great Woods. The place is gorgeous. The Reflections unit is brand new. My mother and father will be living together there, which is very important to them. They adapt everything to each resident. My father has dementia, so they will be working with that. The whole building is set up in a big rectangle, so no matter what happens, if he walks out and walks around, he will always end up back where he started. In the middle, they have a country kitchen where the people have cooking demonstrations. They have an art studio for my mother, who's an artist. She also paints. And the list goes on and on in what they have. Their staff is just amazing. They are well-suited for people with dementia or memory problems, which is a big part of what we need. They have two bedrooms, but my parents didn't want that. This is like one large bedroom like a family room. There's a little kitchen thing with a microwave. They have a salon and a courtyard, which is also completely fenced in for my father. The walkway is once again a rectangle, so he always comes back to where he started. The staff has been awesome. I tried their meal and it's very good. We had lunch there. I didn't have anything fancy, and my mother just had coffee and a muffin, and everything was good. After the tour, they gave us cookies, which they make right there, and they were fantastic. It's set up exactly the way my father needs it. It's very impressive.

We chose The Residence at Great Woods for my mother. Part of the reason was its location because it's close to my house. It is also very clean and very nice. They were just doing all the rooms over. The price is very comparable to the other ones around, and it is just a very beautiful place there. The staff is lovely, warm, and welcoming. I just had a good feeling when I walked in there. My mother has been in there for three weeks now. Everyone has been so awesome, and I don't worry that she's there because there's people checking on her all the time. She is very still very independent, but there's always people checking on her. If she doesn't come down to lunch, they come up and say, 'Oh, you're going to lunch today.' I've just been very happy with how they're treating her, and they've given her independence. The staff members are very friendly and knowledgeable. Even to the visitors coming in, they are very friendly. They have a calendar of activities every day with probably maybe four or five different things. There's music, movies, crafts, gardening, and field trips to go to the store and stuff. A new owner bought it, and they are re-doing everything. My mother has just moved into a newly renovated apartment.

Wingate Residences at Norton looked good. I didn't find anything wrong with it or anything that I didn't like about it. The lady was nice enough to show me around. Everything was nice inside the place. It was presentable. I didn't see any issues. I didn't see any residents being neglected or anything like that. Everybody seem to be in a good mood. The dining room looked good, and there were some people helping with the baking. They had several different floor plans and room sizes.

The rooms at Wingate Residences at Norton were very nice. They had a library, activity room, a room for family celebrations, a PT/OT room, and a hair salon. The people there seemed really nice, and the place was well maintained. I saw a studio room, a single room, and a double room.

We visited/researched 5 assisted living communities when we realized our mother could no longer live alone in her own home. Wingate (then Epoch) of Norton was the overwhelming choice. It is small enough to be cozy and friendly, but large enough to provide lovely amenities. The dining rooms are nicer than most restaurants! The great room is nicely divided into areas, yet provides plenty of space for their many programs. Everything is spotlessly clean. I want their library for my own home! But rooms are just rooms, and great spaces don't make for great homes. People do. They are what make Wingate what it is: a welcoming and safe haven for people who need extra help in their lives but wish to maintain their independence as much as possible. The staff is totally dedicated to the residents. Going the extra mile is normal for them. All the staff seem to know all the residents by first name, and I have never detected the least degree of insincerity in their expressions of concern for "their elderly", as one staff member once said. Our mother settled in nicely after the normal couple of weeks adjustment period, and has often referred to Wingate as "my home." It is heart-breaking to all of us to have to move her from Wingate, but her memory needs are now greater than can be successfully addressed there. Wingate does not have a Memory Care program (although I understand that it has been discussed.) It will not be easy to leave Wingate...the staff is a very caring family. That is an often-used (and seldom meant!) cliche, but in this case, it is the truth. If you are looking for warmth and safety and genuine affection for your loved one in need of assisted living, you will look a long time before you find a place that comes near Wingate of Norton.
