Youville Place Assisted Living Residence

Youville Place is the Lexington residence of Youville Assisted Living Residences, which also includes Youville House in Cambridge. It offers seniors a secure, caring setting where they can age with dignity and independence while receiving a helping hand when needed. Services are tailored to each resident’s needs, and the organization frames its approach as assisted living with an emphasis on living, promising high-quality service and hospitality.

Youville Place benefits from its proximity to the Lexington Community Center, according to the organization. Youville’s values-based model emphasizes the privacy and dignity of all residents. It is led by CEO Susan Cwieka, a Certified Dementia Educator who has helped implement memory care programs across eastern Massachusetts, and COO Bianca Medeiros, who previously served as Director of Community Life at Youville House.
