At our assisted living facilities in Worcester MA, we are able to provide two senior living options within our community. We offer Traditional Assisted Living apartments as well as our Harmony Memory Care Neighborhood. Additionally, we are on the same campus as Notre Dame Long Term Care and Rehabilitation Center which has its own Harmony Village. This allows our residents to utilize multiple levels of care without having to leave the Notre Dame Health Care family.
