Marlborough and Boston Assisted Living
This section describes both of the inexpensive not-for-profit
New Horizons retirement communities developed by Cummings
Foundation. New Horizons at Marlborough, Massachusetts
is located just north of U.S. Route 20. It has a beautiful
country setting near Longfellow's historic Wayside
Inn at the end of Wilson Street.
New Horizons at Choate is near historic
Horn Pond at 21 Warren Avenue in Woburn. It typically
has a waiting list of about three to six months. The
recently enlarged Marlborough residence, however,
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
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,
real estate 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 excursions,
cocktail parties, and so much more. Do as much or as
little as you want - this is your home.
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. It also provides
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 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 spouse or roommate in the same New Horizons
private suite in Marlborough is only $100 per month,
including three meals per day, etc!
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 the 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 are seeking
greater 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 we know
of - 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!"
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 make a reservation
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 in the privacy of their
suite. 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!
Try
us; you'll like us
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!
If you would like to
give New Horizons a short-term trial without the hassle
and expense of moving or renting furniture, consider
the Vacation Program at our Marlborough location (only).
In this 30-day program, New Horizons provides a furnished
suite, weekly housekeeping and linen service, three
delicious meals served daily in an elegantly casual
dining room, access to all activities and special programs
within the community, including the use of the on-site
Hemenway Health Club and indoor heated swimming pool.
Also included is a Traditional Service Plan for one
with assisted living services provided by Care Solutions,
the on-site certified and Medicare-approved home health
agency.
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 population 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.
Respite stays
For individuals in
need of temporary supportive services while recuperating
from a hospital stay, or during rehabilitation, or while
a family caregiver may be away, New Horizons in Marlborough
offers a respite program. This program is available
to individuals or couples, with a minimum 30-day stay
and maximum 60-day stay.
Respite residents are
provided furnished suites with kitchenette, bath with
walk-in shower, emergency response system, and cable
and local telephone service. The program fee includes
a Traditional Service Plan for one, with personal care
services provided by Care Solutions, the on-site certified
and Medicare-approved home health agency. Additional
care is always available, and a licensed nurse is scheduled
on site 24 hours per day, seven days a week.
Included are three
delicious meals served daily in an elegantly casual
dining room, weekly housekeeping and linen service,
and all regular community activities, as well as all
special programs. There is a 140-seat stained-glass
chapel and religious services on site for Christian
and Jewish faiths.
Hospice Residence
Suites within New Horizons'
main community are now available for residents with
terminal conditions which 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 around 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 staffs of Winchester
Home Care, and Care Solutions Inc., our on-site, Medicare
approved, home care agencies serving the residents of
New Horizons at Choate and New Horizons at Marlborough,
respectively.
Specialized
Assisted Living Programs
Hearthstone
Alzheimer Care
Hearthstone Alzheimer
Care, Ltd. is a prominent, internationally-known organization
that provides dementia care 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.
Dr. John Ziesel, widely
recognized as a pioneer in the Alzheimer treatment field,
co-founded and continues to manage the Hearthstone programs.
The main phone number of their executive offices in
Woburn, MA is 781-674-2884.
Robbie's
Place
Robbie's Place, located
on the second floor of New Horizons at Marlborough's
assisted living facility, is one of a few enhanced care
programs in the Commonwealth that supports seniors coping
with mental health struggles such as depression and
anxiety. It is owned and operated by Care Solutions,
Inc. of Westborough. Using a traditional assisted living
setting and supplementing care with psychiatric experise,
many residents will recover to live either independently
or transition to New Horizons.
New Horizons provides
meals for Hearthstone and Robbie's Place residents and,
of course, provides the upkeep of residents' individual
suites. It does not in any way, however, supervise or
direct Hearthstone or Robbie's Place management or caregivers,
or the actual residential programs in these facilities,
and has no ownership interest.
