Independent Living Communities in Marlborough, MA

"We toured The Residence at Natick South. It has a very beautiful, elegant, and very formal setting. It required furnishing for even a short-term rehab stay. They did not provide a television. They had a white linen dinner every night, a well-appointed exercise room, and very friendly staff."

"The Commons in Lincoln is excellent. The whole facility and the staff are wonderful. Mom has no complaints at all about the food. They have a swimming pool, lots of activities, and ways to get transportation to different places. If you needed more care, they have people that would come in. She has two meals per day that she could just have them take care of. They also have an exercise room, an art room, and a great room where they have music, bocce, and all kinds of other activities. They have wonderful grounds. Mom loves going for a walk so she could go for walks for around the grounds. Lincoln has many, many miles of paths and grocery stores nearby. It's just everything she needed. They have lots of concerts. Before COVID, they had children come in whom the residents had interactions with. Then they have exercise classes, as well as religious services, music, art classes, and lectures about all different topics including geography and politics."

"From the moment we first visited Barbara, we knew it was something special. The warmth, professionalism, and genuine care shown by the entire staff made an immediate impression on us—and more importantly, on our loved one. The facility itself is beautiful, clean, and thoughtfully designed to feel like home while also ensuring safety and accessibility. Every detail, from the cozy common areas to the well-balanced meal options, reflects a deep commitment to the residents’ well-being. But what truly sets Atria Draper Place apart is the people. The caregivers, nurses, activity coordinators, and support staff all go above and beyond daily. They treat every resident with dignity, kindness, and patience. Our loved one has not only received excellent assistance with care but has also formed meaningful friendships, rediscovered hobbies, and found a renewed sense of joy and community. We are incredibly grateful for the peace of mind this place has given our family. We wholeheartedly recommend this facility to anyone looking for a compassionate and supportive assisted living environment. It truly feels like extended family."

"Maplewood is a lovely, warm and inviting assisted living facility. My mother-in-law moved into Maplewood about three months ago and we have been so impressed with every aspect of the community. The physical campus is beautiful and includes very well decorated and inviting common areas and spacious apartments. The management is top notch and provides a personal touch by getting to know each resident and their family. The activities are one of the best parts of the experience at Maplewood. My MIL loves participating in many of the offerings, including musical entertainment, spiritual services, and gatherings in "the pub". We feel so relieved to have my MIL in such a safe, friendly, caring and beautiful environment. It's wonderful!"

"My Mom has been a resident of Waterstone at Wellesley for more than two years now and is thriving like never before. She's highly engaged in the community and has made close friends with whom she enjoys meals, activities and shared interests. I can always count on the staff at Waterstone to reach out to me with issues (there are seldom any, but they are both proactive and responsive when needed). And the location on the Charles, and so close to the highway, makes for both an oasis and a convenience. My mom has, happily, gained a bit of weight since moving to Waterstone - she had lost so much during the pandemic we were concerned. She loves the food and the options available at meals. We have no complaints at all. It's hard to get a read on a community unless you are there during meals or Happy Hours, which Waterstone has twice a week for residents of both Independent and Assisted Living communities. It's a lot of fun for residents and gives my mom (and others) something to get dressed up for (mom puts on her best *AND* makeup)! We are extremely happy with Waterstone."

"I went to see Anthology of Millis. The atmosphere there was not as good as it could be. I know it was a nice place. It was a new place. The layout was OK. Some of the rooms may have been a bit smaller than the others. I'm not positive about that, but what bothered me most about it was the atmosphere there. The staff was nice. The gal who gave us the tour was nice, but it was just the place that had a different vibe."

"I had moved into Wingate Residences at Needham, but I had to move out again, not that I got sick and nobody around me got sick, but I knew I'd be in lockdown in their senior living and that would defeat the purpose of my living there, so I moved back home. I was there for a couple of weeks. They were very nice. It was a lovely place. They provide excellent service, good food, and things that you would hope for, but I didn't want to be isolated. There's a library, a swimming pool, a fitness center, and a theater, but I couldn't take advantage of any of these things because of the Covid lockdown. I had two Covid tests, so I had to stay in quarantine the whole time. The physical appearance was beautiful. I had a little experience with the activities. I heard an excellent lecture on my first day, but then I had to go on quarantine, so I didn't get to experience anything."

"Manor on the Hill was a wonderful place. It's very clean and the people were wonderful. The young lady's name was Kim, who gave me the tour, and she's wonderful. I was very happy and very impressed with the place."

"I'm staying here at Cabot Park Village for December. I had dinner here with my sister before I came. They've got a pool, they have a driver five days a week, and the staff here is very nice. One time they gave me a ride to Cabot Park and on the way home, I asked if we could stop at the Verizon store because I was having trouble with my phone and we did stop at the Verizon store. It took 10 minutes. The guy only had to push a button on my phone. However, I later found out that Todd, my driver, thought it was going to take an hour or two, and he stopped for me anyway. The rooms are very nice and clean. They have windows. Everybody's pretty nice and the food is good. Breakfast and dinner are served in the dining room, and they have a variety. CVS is within walking distance. It's a nice atmosphere. There are lots of activities. Two days a week, there's aerobics in the pool. I know they have a lecture series. It's very clean and it's well maintained. They have more activities that I want to do."

"Kennedy Meadows Gracious Retirement Living is excellent. They're very nice and accommodating. As far as looking at it, it's very nice. They've got all the stuff. The staff is excellent. They're very concerned about their job. In terms of the structure of the building and its cleanliness, it's excellent."

"We toured The Residence at Watertown Square. It looked like the floors and walls were in very good physical condition. It didn't look like it was beaten up, with people walking around with walkers and wheelchairs. So, it was in pretty good shape. I had a couple of issues, and part of it is that my dad has difficulty getting up out of chairs. He would not be able to use any of the upholstered chairs that are in the common space. He needed a solid chair to sit in with arms to push himself up, so that was one of the issues in that particular location. The second one was the thickness of the carpeting in the room I looked in. I noticed, when I stepped on it with my sneakers, that it grabbed my feet. I'm just thinking, my dad, that if it grabs his feet, he walks with walking sticks and is more prone to falling. If a unit had hardwood floors or solid floors instead of carpet, that might be something he needs. The woman there, Amanda, indicated that they may be able to replace the carpeting. They want to be accommodating to the people. So, that's a good thing. Everything was easy to access, including the elevator and the laundry room. Those were positives. People were having lunch at that time, and they all seemed happy, and there was no controversy. It's a good setting. Amanda was very nice and considerate."

"I went to The Residence at Boylston Place. I was treated very well. They're upgrading their facility, so there was some construction going on but it didn't bother me. They're making it even nicer. By the time I'd be ready to move in if I did go there, it would be even more beautiful. It's a very nice architecture outside and inside. It's being brought up-to-date very nicely. The staff during the tour was very helpful. They have three meals a day and transportation and utilities are paid for. It's very attractive architecture and it's very clean. The dining area had very good lighting, was very spacious, and it looked like it would be an excellent place to sit down and dine and talk to residents."

"I think Summer Place was great. The manager was very pleasant and very informative. He didn't push us around like we have to make a decision now. This place is wonderful. It's like a hotel. It's independent, but it's like community driven because the people are very friendly, and they encourage relationships among their neighbors. It is just beautiful. They have a kitchen in the rooms. The closets are very comfortable. The rooms are wonderful. They have a gym, a library, and an activity room. It is very, very nice."
