    About The Saab Residence at D'Youville

    The Saab Residence Assisted Living at D'Youville Life & Wellness Community sits on a 75-acre campus in Lowell, MA, where there are gardens, woodlands, and open walking spaces. The place has a friendly and joyful feeling, with awards for resident satisfaction and good care, and folks say the meals taste good because chefs and meal planners use quality ingredients. There are 60 apartments laid out for privacy and independent living, and you'll find both one- and two-bedroom apartments for assisted living and studio apartments for memory care, which they call the Pawtucket Lane neighborhood. Pawtucket Lane has 15 private studios designed for people living with memory loss, offering person-centered care with safety, support, and activities for the body, mind, and spirit.

    The residence is non-profit, focused on community well-being, and is connected to the wider D'Youville campus, which means access to a full range of care - including rehabilitation and skilled nursing, if needed. There's a nurse on staff, and the team can help with things like bathing, dressing, medication, incontinence, and diabetes, plus a 24-hour on-site staff keeps an eye on safety at all times. Residents get three nutritious meals daily, served restaurant-style in the dining room, and kitchenettes in the units for those times when someone wants to make something small themselves. There's housekeeping and laundry, either done for you or self-serve if you like, and maintenance, so folks don't have to worry about little things breaking down.

    There are lots of activities most days, including games, music, arts and crafts, educational sessions, and faith-based gatherings. Social programs help neighbors get to know each other, and outings and transportation services let people get off campus when they want. There are indoor common areas like a library, game room, and fitness room, and outdoor spaces for walks or just sitting. Safety and accessibility are important, so you'll see features like a sprinkler system, secured doors, and units for wheelchairs. Small pets are welcome, too, and there's guest parking if family visits.

    The Saab Residence offers respite and short-term stays as well as regular apartments, with both private pay and long-term care insurance accepted. Prices include most services, and the residence offers both market-rate and subsidized options depending on need. Residents have their own tailored care plans, made by the nursing team, which aim to keep as much independence as possible while making sure everyone feels comfortable, safe, and respected. The community has a long history, with simple comforts and steady support for elders looking for extra help and good company.
