By way of recent history,
New Horizons retirement community opened in Marlborough,
MA in October 1994. This followed a complete rebuilding
of the former Madonna Hall School for Girls, at 400
Hemenway Street, Marlborough, MA. This independent and
assisted living community in Massachusetts is just down
the road from Longfellow's historic Wayside Inn, and
was earlier the longtime family farm of Marlborough
resident Joseph Bouvier, who operated a well-known apple
orchard there for decades.
|
| |
|
New Horizons is a private,
non-sectarian community on a delightful 40-acre country
campus. Altogether, this New Horizons accommodates up
to 500 seniors, and generally has only a short waiting
list, or none at all. Seniors enjoy a wide variety of
personalized living plans.
|
| |
|
The natural beauty
of the area offers New Horizons' residents a lovely
tranquil environment with lots of broad meadows and
other green space for quiet walks, or just sitting with
a friend. Assisted and independent living residents
come and go as they like on a 24-hour basis, and often
journey to shopping areas in Marlborough and Sudbury,
MA in New Horizons' private, climatized bus.
The beautiful country-like campus is
a half mile north of U.S. Route 20, at the end of Wilson
Street. New Horizons' Boston retirement community prizes
its rich heritage and diversity.
|
| |
|
Although both New Horizons
assisted living communities in Massachusetts are entirely
nondenominational, the Marlborough campus is one of
few communities anywhere to offer both daily Catholic
Mass, in its own beautiful 200-seat chapel, and regular
on-site Protestant and Jewish services as well. Overall,
of those residents who express a religious affiliation,
New Horizons residents appear to be about 40 percent
Catholic, 30 percent Protestant, 10 percent Jewish and
20 percent other.
|
| |
|
|
Many Jewish
assisted living residents in Massachusetts enjoy
dinner together as part of their weekly Friday
evening Shabbat observance. The private Bill Miller
Dining Room is normally used for this purpose,
but the adjacent town center is available for
larger Seder or Passover services.
|
|
| |
|
Weekly Hymn Sings
are an ever-popular event at New Horizons.
|
|
 |

|
The very large 86-degree
heated indoor swimming pool is another joy for many
residents in Marlborough. At a consistent depth of 3'
6", the pool is perfect for the water exercise
programs. Other special attractions include frequent
shopping trips into town, and numerous social and entertainment
events, which give residents plenty to do.
|
| |
|
One resident's daughter
put it very well. "I started to get puzzled after
a while when Mom never seemed to be around to answer
the phone anymore. That hadn't happened in years. It
took me a while to realize that she now has a life again"!
She told us her mom had spent eight years sitting by
the phone in case it rang.

New Horizons at Marlborough,
LLC is a not-for-profit entity which leases its facility
from Cummings Foundation, Inc., but is itself solely
responsible for all operational issues. The city of
Marlborough benefits from this association, especially
through the McKeown Scholars Program. Founded in 1996,
this scholarship has already awarded more than one million
dollars in direct financial aid to students in communities
where Cummings Properties has significant interests.
|
| |
|
Both
heavily endowed not-for-profit entities are financially
very strong and conservative, and were developed by
the same family which developed Cummings Park in Woburn,
MA and Cummings Center in Beverly, MA. Significantly,
there is no debt or mortgage of any kind on any part
of either New Horizons' property!

This New Horizons
alone has a staff of more than 100 warm, caring people,

The community's executive
director, Robert O'Connor (508-460-5000), has managed

While
New Horizons assisted living in Woburn
continues to have a waiting list of about
a year, the recent major expansion in
Marlborough has completely eliminated
such a list here. When a waiting list
exists, future residents who have completed
the application process and who have been
placed on the Priority Waiting List, are
invited to participate without charge
in various home activities.
Future

to visit for lunch or dinner from time

begin familiarizing themselves with their
new home before actually moving in. For
