Independent Living

Bruyere Gardens at D’Youville Life & Wellness Community is Greater Lowell’s premier residence for adults who desire to live independently, but are in need of affordable housing. While a component of the D’Youville campus, Bruyere stands apart – tenants form their own vibrant community, with the advantage of enjoying many of the amenities that D’Youville Life & Wellness has to offer.

Bruyere’s sixty-three spacious apartments are beautifully appointed and are designed to provide tenants with a comfortable home setting. Units are pet friendly, and include conveniences such as cable and telephone hookups and unit-controlled central air and heat. Plus, each unit comes with key safety and comfort features, such as emergency pull-cords in the bedroom and bathroom, walk-in showers with grab bars, and audio-visual security phones that link directly to the front entrance.

The common areas in the Bruyere Complex are ample and comfortable – places where our tenants may gather to read, enjoy a game together, write, or meet for social events. Tenants may relax in front of the fireplace in one of our two beautiful lobbies, enjoy the outdoors in the D’Youville Park, borrow the latest novel from our library, or work on a project in our arts and crafts studio. Tenants also enjoy many of the activities and services offered at D’Youville Life & Wellness – whether attending a fitness class, grocery shopping in town via the D’Youville Bus, or participating in Mass at the D’Youville Chapel. 

Life at Bruyere Gardens is much more than just an apartment living experience – our tenants are a true community, often developing close and lasting friendships.
