Is AVIVA Country Club Heights a certified assisted living residence in Massachusetts?

Yes. AVIVA Country Club Heights at 3 Rehabilitation Way, Woburn, MA 01801 is listed as Certified on the Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging & Independence (AGE) list of certified Assisted Living Residences dated June 25, 2026, and has held certification since March 20, 2002. Massachusetts certifies assisted living residences rather than licensing them, so there is no license number to look up — the state identifies each residence by name and address.

AVIVA Country Club Heights is one of the longer-running residences in Middlesex County: its certification dates to 2002, the first years of the Massachusetts ALR program after the 1994 law that created it.

The state profile notes the residence opened in 1996; its current certification record starts March 20, 2002, which can reflect a change of ownership or a re-certification.

What did the latest Massachusetts compliance review of AVIVA Country Club Heights find?

AGE's most recent posted Compliance Review of AVIVA Country Club Heights, conducted May 7, 2026, resulted in a Plan of Correction across 6 lettered finding areas, 2 of them marked as repeat findings from the prior review.

The report's findings covered emergency-call (e-call) response times, dietary reviews, resident assessments and service plans, the quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) program, on-time reporting of resident incidents to the state, evacuation and elopement drills, the correspondence log used for continuity of care and staffing levels.

A Plan of Correction is the standard outcome of a Massachusetts compliance review: the residence answers each finding in writing and AGE grants recertification once the fixes are accepted. It is not a suspension or fine. Nearly every residence with a posted report in Greater Boston received one, so the useful comparison is which areas were cited and whether they repeat.

For context, the median posted report for a Middlesex County residence lists 6 finding areas; AVIVA Country Club Heights's latest lists about the same number of.

How much does AVIVA Country Club Heights cost per month?

Massachusetts does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask AVIVA Country Club Heights for its written fee schedule. Statewide, AGE's 2025 census report puts the median monthly fee range at $4,228–$9,225 for traditional units and $7,218–$10,886 for Special Care units.

What should you ask when touring AVIVA Country Club Heights?

Start with the areas the state already flagged at AVIVA Country Club Heights — emergency-call (e-call) response times, dietary reviews, resident assessments and service plans — and ask what changed after the review; then cover staffing, fees and move-out triggers.

• What is your average pendant/e-call response time overnight, and can I see last month's response log?
• Who reviews special diets, and how are meal changes communicated?
• How often is a resident's service plan reassessed, and who attends that meeting?
• What has your quality-improvement committee changed in the past year?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the residence?
• What is the full monthly fee for my parent's care level, and what triggers an increase?
• Which care needs would require a move to a nursing home?
• How long have the executive director and resident care director been in their roles?

Visit twice — once at a meal — and read the residency agreement before paying a deposit. Massachusetts gives ALR residents specific resident rights, and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program can help if problems come up later.

How does moving into AVIVA Country Club Heights work?

Moving into AVIVA Country Club Heights starts with a pre-admission screening and a written assessment of your parent's needs, which the residence uses to build an individual service plan before move-in day.

• Residency agreement and disclosures. The residence must give you its residency agreement and a disclosure of fees, services and discharge terms; take them home and compare them before paying a deposit.
• Special Care Residence admission. Admission to AVIVA Country Club Heights's 24-unit Special Care Residence is based on a dementia diagnosis and an assessment that the secured setting is appropriate; ask what criteria would move a resident between its traditional and Special Care units.
• Medication plan. Decide whether your parent will self-administer, receive Self-Administered Medication Management (SAMM) help from aides, or need Limited Medication Administration (LMA) by a nurse — it affects both care and fees.
• Payment. Rent and care are almost always private pay in an ALR; long-term care insurance and VA Aid & Attendance can offset them.

Most moves take two to four weeks once a unit is available; a hospital discharge can compress that to days, which is when a second set of eyes on the agreement helps most.
