Exceptional facility
Overall Thirwood is an exceptional facility, staff is very attentive and friendly. Move in was coordinated and smooth. Any issues are addressed immediately. My mom loves the food. It has been a bit slow to meet other residents but slowly that is happening, perhaps a more coordinated effort to pair up like residents when they are new. She has a two bedroom apartment which is very spacious. Facility is always clean! The activities are good as well. It has been a great fit and my mom is settling in well.

Classic customer service in a beautiful residential setting.
My dad moved into Thirwood just over a year ago. From the first day, he was welcomed by both residents and staff. The classic hospitality of the ownership family is evident by how the staff cares for the facility and residents, knowing most by name and exhibiting a camaraderie with each other. The food is exemplary whether it is scrod and fresh vegetables in the dining room (with delicious desserts daily) or the lovely sandwiches in the cafe, again served with kindness. My dad does not do all the activities however the variety and frequency are impressive and he enjoys the exercise class and bingo. The facility has a stunning nature setting by a pond and the grounds are meticulously kept with seasonal flowers and shade trees. From the informational tours to the contract and intake process to residency, Thirwood checks the box in every category. It gives me great peace of mind knowing my dad part of a caring community, and if needed later, the step to assisted living is onsite.

A turning of the page...
After some difficult winters where we previously lived and with my beloved husband deceased, I knew that I needed to relocate to a safer environment...but I was very reluctant to make The Move. After nearly one year here at Thirwood. I am delighted with my world at Thirwood Place. The facility is gorgeous. I am living in a beautiful apartment ,overlooking a pond and wooded area. I have been enjoying the activities daily exercise classes and musical events, and delighted by all the services. Car/driver or van service to places that I need to be, a delicious five course dinner served every evening by a charming, young staff.....cleaning of my apartment weekly...a maintenance staff at my disposal. And an atmosphere here, filled with smiling faces, where residents know each other and where all the staff members greet each resident by name. Why in the world was I so reluctant to make The Move?

A Great Place To Live
As a resident of Thirwood Place, I am delighted to offer a review of the facility. Thirwood is a comfortable and welcoming place. The variety of activities offered make it easy to get to know people and to find folks with similar interests. The swimming pool is warm and inviting and a wonderful way to get regular exercise. The library offers a wide range of books with easy access to the Yarmouth library system. There are two different restaurants for both elegant and more casual dining and the food in each is well prepared and served as well as being delicious. A small country store provides necessities such as milk, freshly baked muffins, fruit and sandwiches, plus offering a gathering spot to have coffee and a chat with friends. A cozy fire in the fireplace surrounded by comfortable couches and chairs offer a wonderful spot to relax on a cold winter afternoon while outdoor trails around a lovely pond provide a shady, inviting space to enjoy warmer weather.

Thirwood Place - the perfect place.
From friendly and competent staff and bright, spacious facilities to multiple activities and services, and excellent food, Thirwood has turned out to be the perfect place to call home. Moving and down-sizing from our private home of many years was not easy but the welcome we got from Thirwood staff, knowing our names from day one and helping with setting up our apartment, we couldn't be happier. The activities - concerts, lectures, exercise classes, and special holiday celebrations - are all wonderfully planned and executed and provide multiple opportunities for enrichment and establishing friendships with other residents and staff contributing to our becoming a happy, caring community. Our decision to move to Thirwood was definitely the right one.

It's like a never ending cruise
When the worry and expense of owning a home became too much for me, I looked for a place where I didn't have to think about all of that. At Thirwood Place, I don't feel isolated and I have a lovely apartment where I can enjoy peace and security when I want to be alone. There are a lot of fun activities and interesting people and the staff is amazing. They know everyone's name and they're kind and caring. The food is great too. I say it's like living on a cruise ship but it doesn't rock and you don't have to worry about the weather.

Thirwood Place, Cape Cod MA ~ Highly Recommend
Comfort, safety, cleanliness, entertainment, activities, dining experience, support staff, atmosphere ~ Thirwood Place checks all the boxes for independent living. While our mother enjoys being engaged with the resident community, she also cherishes her privacy within her own bright and roomy apartment with egress outdoors to her own patio. The facility is privately owned and maintained to the highest standards. The property and gardens are impeccably cared for. The staff are friendly and the facility has all the amenities; library, entertainment venue, fitness center, indoor swimming, beauty salon, and more. Dinners with mom include white linens, tasty menu choices and proper dress code. The family says it all the time, how lucky we were to find such a wonderful independent living environment for our mother. Without any reservation, my mother and our family highly recommend Thirwood Place for senior independent living ~ comfort, safety, cost, and peace of mind!

Thirwood Place
After visiting so many facilities on Cape Cod, I finally found the place to call home. I love it here. Thirwood Place is owned privately. I think that may be the difference. Thirwood Place is a complete senior facility. There is not one thing they have not considered. Everyone here is just as happy as I am. The food is outrageously delicious. What more can I say. Come visit us. The staff members are always very helpful and friendly. From my first day everyone remembered my name. An amazing fete. The concerts are popular and well attended. Tonight we dined on shrimp cocktail, a delicious home made chicken soup with dumplings. Entrees were fish and chips, chicken with a wonderful caper sauce and marinated grilled flank steak; broiled scrod, angus beef patty or a vegetarian plate. There is always a choice of desserts ~ I chose the cannoli. I have not attended any activities yet, but everyone raves about the fun.

Thirwood Place is a gem for the “good life”.
Thirwood Place is a beautifully furnished space with apartments full of light and room to set up your new home. Clean with patios or balconies for your personal outdoor space. Pets are allowed. A huge plus for me and a game changer. Many activities from musical performances, to lectures, movies, bingo and card games and more. An indoor pool with carefully monitored water aerobics, exercise classes, and hot tub. Excellent restaurant quality dinners six nights a week plus Sunday brunch. Casual lunches and Continental breakfast items are available in the Country Store six days a week. No reason to go out but small bus and van services are available for trips to local stores and for doctor appointments. Weekly housekeeping services in our apartments make life easier. I’ve met only friendly residents from their late 70’s to 103. We all have many shared life experiences and conversation happens easily. And friendships are many. I’m glad that I was able to come to Thirwood.

A year later I know all the Nooks and crannies....
Thirwood Place trains their employees to operate from a place of kindness. When in doubt, they are to ask the question: What more would I want for my parent? This is demonstrated by the gardening crew and maintenance workers all the way to the senior administration. Looked at dozens of places This is far and away superior.

Congenial community
The spirit of our congenial community here at Thirwood Place is “respect” between and among staff and residents; thus, culminating in a family-like environment. Of course too, this includes a sprinkle of appropriate good humor to lighten our journey.

Our decision to move to Thirwood--8 months later
We are happy residents of Thirwood Place. It was a huge risk--deciding 8 months ago to leave the home of our dreams--saturated with neighborhood, community, & family memories. We made the difficult choice to pull up roots and move to a retirement community after considering different options. Moving at this stage of life, we're both 80, is a challenging transition on many levels. It represents a fundamental shift in how we live and how much energy we need to spend maintaining a home and caring for all the overhead we have accumulated. It means severe downsizing--a process that is both exhausting and freeing. We think of it as paying forward--doing these necessary things now so our children won't be burdened with it later. The Thirwood marketing team is resourceful, competent, and patient. After moving here, we've discovered they are the tip of the iceberg. The executive leadership has built a culture of excellence throughout the organization.

Where neighbors become family!
If you are looking for a place where neighbors become family, Thirwood is it. Each person here has a story. For me, they are shared over dinner where I have the opportunity to dine with different people over a delicious 5 course dinner. A friend once told me not too long ago, “Don’t let the old lady in”. During the month I have lived here, I haven’t found anyone who has! There are daily activities that will keep you as busy as you want to be. Whatever your interest, there will be an activity for you. And last, I want to commend the staff. They are top notch and work seamlessly to meet everyone's needs. They call each of us by name and treat us like family. They care! If you decide to join this community, you won't be disappointed.

Thoughts on Thirwood
Everyone at Thirwood Place made my mom's relocation as easy as it could be. Moving someone is there 80s is never easy and with the help and support at Thirwood, it was better than expected. Recommend without reservations.

2.5 years and going strong
My mom has lived at Thirwood place for 2.5 years and absolutely loves it as do we. The staff is extremely caring and very concerned about every resident. The food is always on point and offers an array of choices that will please all diners. The desserts cannot be missed. They are delicious! We have dined with Mom numerous times and have always enjoyed the meals. My Mom has been very pleased with the entertainment options available on a daily basis. It keeps her involved and active with the friends she has made since moving. She throughly enjoys the music, special holiday events and creative activities. We would like to give a shoutout to the entire staff! They are wonderful to all the residents and the personal touch given to my Mom does not go unnoticed. You are true gems. We have noticed a huge difference in my Mom’s contentment and happiness since moving to Thirwood Place. Thank you for all you do!
