The Gables at Winchester

I went to the Gables at Winchester to visit somebody. Everybody was crippled and used wheelchairs or walkers; I just feel bad for those people, but I just don’t want to go into there to see nothing but that. I think that would be depressing. It was a very nice place, but I don’t want to open my door and have nothing but wheelchairs waiting outside or walkers. There’s nobody just walking around normally. My friend’s room was very nice, and the structure was fine. The woman that I went to visit from church is the same vision at 65, but she does not want to be there permanently.

Being at the Gables at Winchester was like being on a mini cruise ship. It was very comfortable, and they were very attentive and very clean. I just liked it a lot. The staff members were very professional, very courteous, and very good with calling back; very efficient. Each of the room has its own character as everyone's personality, so it's geared to one's preferences. I have not eaten there, but the menu sounds fantastic; it was very nice. They are very nurturing and I love that. They go to outings in Boston; they just go to all kinds of things that are happening locally.

The Gables was just right off the street from me. It was lovely. The one whom I toured the place with was very nice. The rooms were awesome. They were spacious unlike the others. If I would go anywhere, I would be at The Gables. I would recommend them to others.

My mom is at The Gables at Winchester. The residents are very accommodating and very welcoming. The staff is wonderful, and they are really top-notch. They check up on their residents every night, making sure everything is OK in their apartments. She is in a one-bedroom apartment, and it's a large room. My mother certainly found the right place. My granddaughter, who is 2 years old, loves it there too. She loves eating in the dining room. We had lunch there, and their meals are really good. My mother is on a salt-restricted diet, and they adhere to the specifications made by her physician.

Gables at Winchester was a recommendation from another family. We visited the property and we saw that it was new and extremely clean. We like the staff that we had met. We selected this facility for my dad because of its cleanliness and also because of its staff. He has eaten there and he seemed to be very happy with the quality of the food and the options that they have. They have different selections for the residents with regards to their activities. They have classes, swimming, field trips that the residents can sign up, tours, and museum visits.

I am a resident of the Gables at Winchester for 2 months now. I chose it very quickly, it?s a very pleasant place with lots of trees and flowers. It also faces the sun. The rooms are bright and attractive. I also like the openness of this place. Most people who live here are locals and the staff seemed to be nice. The activities are not very stimulating; they only have music. The food is not what I am used to. Also, the clarity of the charges needs to be improved. However, the place is easy to get used to.

The Gables could improve on the food and their activities. The food is inadequate. They're sadly lacking in activities. I have to suggest ideas for a singing group or gardening group. It's not done by the activities department. I would not suggest to any of my friends that they move here. The staff is exemplary except for the activities people.

I think the facility was really great. The people in the facility were very friendly. My mom's friend told me how the people there always took care of her. She also told me that she has never felt lonely at the facility. Whenever she needs help there is always someone there to help. She has been there for 1 years. She said that she is feeling much better in the facility .When I went to the facility, I was really impressed at how well the people there took care of the people living there. I actually got a chance to talk to a person working there who told me that he enjoys working there. I would love to go there again. I love the way they were so organized and how they cared about the people so much. I would rate them 10 stars if Ii could. After coming home from the facility i realized that there were actually good people in the world who cared about for other.

The apartments are equipped with eat-in kitchens, although the food served in the common dining room is 5-star. There is 24-hour care"”nurses, LPNs, doctors, dieticians"”and the staff really hustle to please and care for the residents. There is a health club onsite. And there is also a whole calendar of activities offered, including many religious activities. On Sundays, there are jazz brunches for residents and family members. Overall, Gables at Winchester offers a very pleasant environment, so seniors are less likely to get depressed; in fact, most residents seem happy and cheerful. I have a relative there"”and she's happy because of the companionship and activities offered. Another plus: Gables at Winchester allows a trial period of one month; there's no commitment for residents who try it out and find it's not a good fit. This place is a little more pricey than some, but for those who can afford it, it's well worth the cost. It's especially good for someone who is single because of the activities and attention to engaging residents.
