Boston assisted living
This section describes both New Horizons
(not-for-profit) retirement communities developed
by Cummings Foundation. New Horizons assisted living
in Marlborough, MA is located just north of U.S. Route
20 in a beautiful country setting near Longfellow's
historic Wayside Inn at the end of Wilson Street.
New Horizons at Choate, another Massachusetts assisted
living community, is near historic Horn Pond at 21
Warren Avenue in Woburn, MA. New Horizons in Woburn
typically has a waiting list of up to about one year.
The recently enlarged Marlborough residence typically
has only a very short waiting list, or none at all,
due to its much larger campus.
Just about everyone looks forward
to retirement as a time to relax and enjoy life. Often,
though, we get too consumed by daily responsibilities
to fully relish the leisure time we've worked so hard
to gain. That's where New Horizons can make quite
a difference.
Wonderful senior living
at non-denominational New Horizons offers the perfect
blend of convenience, flexibility, and personal services.
Many seniors at both of these fine suburban Boston communities
find that their independence increases after
moving in, because New Horizons takes care of all those
burdensome, time-consuming responsibilities. That allows
residents to live life to their fullest!
Assisted and Independent
living
in Boston, MA
New Horizons living
means beautiful, spacious, private apartments (no two
are identical) which become residents' individual, unique
homes. Decorate with your own furnishings and style.
Welcome family and friends as you like. Come and go
as you please!
One of the finest aspects
of New Horizons, and many other very good retirement
communities, is the wonderfully supportive new relationships
residents develop among themselves, and often with their
caregivers. This wonderful opportunity manifests itself
in so many ways, with totally renewed feelings of looking
forward to the next day and the next activity, and really
enjoying the company of fellow residents.
Enjoy three gourmet
meals in elegant dining rooms, and share lots of social
and recreational activities with warm, interesting neighbors.
Just leave the cooking, cleaning, utilities, transportation,
taxes, maintenance, and snow shoveling to New Horizons.
You have more important things to do!
There are always stimulating
health programs and workshops, crafts, bridge and poker
clubs, indoor and outdoor gardening, 24-hour front desk
service, several well-stocked libraries, and on-site
health facilities and religious services, as well as
intergenerational programs, cultural events, local and
Boston area excursions, cocktail parties, and so much
more. Do as much or as little as you want - this is
your home.
Independent and assisted
living in MA
Both not-for-profit
New Horizons retirement communities in Massachusetts
offer a unique combination of individualized independent
and assisted living arrangements, with ready access
to wide varieties of medical and social services. Through
constant attention to the needs of residents, New Horizons
provides warm, comfortable, completely private living
spaces for those living independently. They also provide
that same personalized support for those who may need
assistance.
Each New Horizons offers
very economical and affordable Boston area independent
and assisted living on beautifully landscaped grounds.
Most MA assisted living residents at the Marlborough
campus come from Marlborough, Westborough, Southborough,
Framingham, Sudbury, Concord, Weston, Waltham, Wayland
and Worcester. Each lovely studio, one, or two bedroom
well-lit apartment includes an oversized private bathroom,
mini-kitchenette, cable TV and local telephone service,
in-suite emergency call system, individually controlled
heating and air conditioning, and more. The additional
fee for a second person occupying the same New Horizons
independent suite in Marlborough is only $100 per month!
Some suites even feature
skylights, private patios, and walk-in closets. Residents'
comfort and convenience are of utmost importance, because
your home should make you happy.
We could not begin
to include here all the wonderful things that happen
for residents living at New Horizons retirement communities.
They're just very special places where very special
people share dignified, refined, and friendly living.
Come visit - you should
feel right at home
If you feel ready to
regain your independence, and would like to join us
for lunch or dinner, please call (Marlborough: 508-460-5000
or Woburn: 781-932-8000). We would be delighted to welcome
you and show you why New Horizons really is home.
New residents of New
Horizons - and for that matter all other Framingham,
Massachusetts area assisted living communities very
often demonstrate greatly renewed zest for life within
a matter of months. This joie de vivre is particularly
noticeable for residents who have lived alone for some
time before coming to New Horizons. Very commonly, residents
themselves say, "I'm so happy! I wish I had come
here years ago!"
When convenient, prospective
residents or their families often try to spend some
time socializing at New Horizons before deciding about
moving in. Come meet and chat with a few of the current
residents in the cheerful lounges. Get their firsthand
opinions about the advantages they enjoy from living
at New Horizons. There are so many!
All residents at New
Horizons typically have choices of dining hours and
multiple selections for entrees and side dishes, as
well. Guests are always welcome to stop by for a delicious
home cooked meal any day of the week.
Most resident suites
include mini-kitchenettes for those who like to keep
snacks in their personal refrigerator, or who might
enjoy a cup of tea or hot soup before retiring. New
Horizons also has full-sized homestyle kitchens available
for those who might occasionally want to bake cookies,
or teach a grandchild how to make Grandma's favorite
spaghetti sauce or... Grandpa's Five-Alarm Chili!
Becoming a New Horizons
resident
Before a new resident
moves in, there are some simple forms to sign, and there
are no long-term leases. All New Horizons residents
complete a Residence Agreement, however, which may be
canceled without penalty at any time with two months'
written notice, or promptly following a resident's passing.
A good retirement community
will help its residents be as independent as possible,
while providing ready assistance when needed. New Horizons
is designed for seniors who still enjoy an active lifestyle,
and who also want convenient abundant opportunities
for socialization and friendship. All rates include
three gracious meals daily, plus housekeeping, utilities,
linens, local transportation, and a wide range of activities
at this very affordable Marlborough, MA assisted living
center.
New Horizons is an
open and accepting community. We celebrate the diversity
of our residents and staff. Our differences do not define
us, but rather inform and enrich our overall living
experience. New Horizons is welcoming to people of all
backgrounds, and our current resident pool reflects
this central philosophy, as people of different races,
religions, geographic origins, financial backgrounds
and life experiences have come together to form one
dynamic community.
Hearthstone
Alzheimer Care
Hearthstone Alzheimer
Care, Ltd. is a prominent, internationally-known organization
that provides care for people with Alzheimers disease
in several states. It operates residences at both the
Woburn and Marlborough New Horizons. Occasionally, when
the need arises, residents may transfer from New Horizons
to the Hearthstone residence - typically in a relatively
seamless transition.
New Horizons provides
meals for Hearthstone residents and, of course, provides
the residents' individual suites. It does not in any
way, however, supervise or direct Hearthstone management
or caregivers, or the actual Hearthstone residential
program.
Dr. Joan Hyde and Dr.
John Ziesel, recognized as pioneers in the Alzheimer
treatment field, co-founded the Hearthstone programs.
Dr. Zeisel may be reached at the firm's executive offices
in Woburn, MA, 781-674-2884.
Hospice Residence
A section of newly remodeled suites
within New Horizons' main community is now reserved
for residents with terminal conditions that do not require
nursing home care. Many of these residents will, however,
have supplemental Hospice nursing, counseling and physician
care through one of our local licensed Hospice agencies.
In New Horizons' Hospice suites, residents will have
round-the-clock help with the activities of daily living.
Residents in New Horizons'
Hospice suites typically seek to maintain their quality
of life in their remaining months or years. Palliative
care is provided as needed by the caring staff of Care
Solutions Inc., our on-site, Medicare approved, home
care agency. Traditional physical therapy and whirlpool
therapy are very helpful in maintaining and restoring
mobility. The facility's large indoor lap swimming pool
is also well-heated, and is immediately adjacent to
the new Hospice Suites.
Another very important
part of New Horizons' continuum of care is the special
program known as Wayside Suites, for other residents
requiring scheduled and/or spontaneous care on a 24/7
basis. This program is intended to serve residents who
do not need someone stationed full-time at their bedside,
but who will need someone to respond very quickly from
time to time at any hour, to provide help with the activities
of daily living, but not the medical services of a registered
nurse, for instance.
Residents in Wayside
Suites might typically arrange for one or two hours
daily of scheduled assistance and an additional two
hours a day of unscheduled "spontaneous" service.
Many residents wear an emergency response bracelet which
they routinely use to alert their assigned caregivers.
