Wood Haven Senior Living

Wood Haven Senior Living is a magnificent assisted living community in Tewksbury, Massachusetts. It is within fascinating Middlesex County which is part of the Bay State.

Residents with Alzheimer's or other dementia require exceptional attention and respect, which is why at Wood Haven we strive to make every day special. As a memory care-exclusive community, we pride ourselves on our complete dedication to providing exceptional, dignified services to our residents. Our distinctive MONTESSORI MOMENTS IN TIME™ programming is at the foundation of the resident experience and was developed to honor residents, their life story, personal preferences, and current strengths. Our compassionate, trained caregivers are available around the clock and are committed to improving the quality of life for those in our community. We understand this is not an easy time for families and can be a confusing and frustrating journey for our residents. The five directional paths of our program not only address the resident experience but also can help families as they navigate their loved one's changing needs.

Wood Haven offers a full-spectrum of services to those in need of specialized memory care. We take pride in providing the best care and experience to area seniors and partnering with families who entrust us with the wellbeing of their loved ones.

Our Montessori Moments in Time™ program is the cornerstone of Meridian Senior Living's comprehensive approach to memory care and was developed through extensive research and first-hand experience with our residents throughout the years. We strive every day to integrate purpose and meaningful moments into the lives of our memory care residents through a customized program, honoring our residents and their journey with Alzheimer's or other dementia. Our secure, specialized memory care neighborhood offers spacious private suites in a home-like setting, with supervised access to amenities, and care by our highly trained and compassionate staff.

Our memory care program is based on a platform of respect—respect for each individual as people who are important, with significant life stories, talents and preferences. 

We provide our memory care residents with a positive and intentional experience at our community. Our Life Engagement programming seeks to reduce agitation and inspire conversation. Understanding resident preferences and past history—their loves, likes, occupations, family members, and more—can help us identify and troubleshoot why a resident may be upset and redirect behaviors to bring moments of joy into social interactions.

Who our residents are and the lives they’ve led are important elements to providing the best care. Understanding what makes them tick, what causes agitation and what inspires joy is crucial as we build out programming and learn the best way to communicate with one another. Before someone joins our community we ask that families complete a Resident Life Story that shares with our team all the information we need to offer a meaningful experience.

Many times the process of choosing a senior living community for a loved one is met with anxiety, sometimes resistance, sometimes excitement. We want to be there for you as you navigate all the emotions that come with a big change. Our experienced team at Wood Haven can help answer any questions you have to help you understand and better communicate what your loved one is going through and help them come to terms with their situation. There is so much to anticipate in a new beginning at our community, but we understand getting there can be overwhelming. Let us help.
