Youville Place

Youville Place is a unique assisted living residence located in Lexington, Massachusetts. Surrounded by 12 acres of lush gardens and greenery, this assisted living residence is rooted not only in the history of the region, but by its own history and traditions. The only mission oriented, not-for-profit assisted living residence in the area, Youville Place has a reputation as a community built on the values of compassionate care, dedication, hospitality and integrity.

The Youville Place campus includes a three-story building featuring a lovely fountain on the courtyard level, inviting common areas, fitness spaces and computer stations, and a lovely two story chapel with stained glass windows. It has 71 bright, spacious studio and one-bedroom private apartments.

Residents of Youville Place enjoy a rich life filled with recreational, educational, social, cultural and spiritual programs. Residents are often greeted with live music as they enter the dining room, and keep active by participating in programs connecting them with local students, or becoming involved in a book discussion with a group or visiting professor. The lovely grounds provide a safe, beautiful walking area.

Visitors to Youville Place frequently comment on how at home the residents appear and the warmth and friendliness of the staff. Family and friends become part of the community when they visit, stay for dinner, attend special events and even become personally involved with programming if they wish.

New residents frequently comment on the pleasure it gives them to meet new friends and be active again. Family members often say their parents are too busy to talk to them when they call!
