Independent Living Communities in Newton, MA

"My dad has moved into Waterstone at the Circle. It's spacious, light, clean, and friendly. Everyone there has been so outgoing, very accommodating, and so kind. They want to help and reach out. They're doing the best they can. My dad is in a one-bedroom with big windows. It has a full kitchen. There is the bedroom, the closet, and the bath. The closet is so interesting. You walk through the closet to get to the bathroom, so the closet is on both sides. It has this nice corner that you can get straight to the bathroom. They have amazing amenities. They have a beautiful library. They have a bar, and they have a huge dining room with lots of lights. They have a craft room and a community room with a piano. They have a swimming pool, an exercise room, and a theater. They have a lounge on the fifth floor. The activities are great. The residents decide what activities they want, and they set them up. The other people that we talked to are very satisfied with the activities. It's such a welcoming place. It is very expensive, but I feel like they measure up to the expense. I don't feel bad about the expense because they're getting a lot. People stay there; they don't leave."

"Sophia Snow Place is all inclusive, so Mom has assistance with anything she needs. She has meal choices, 3 times a day plus the pastry cart in the morning, help with showering and meds, does yoga and has wonderful caregivers, she loves them all. They are consistent and helpful and pleasant and she feels very secure. The facility itself is immaculately clean, her room is very large and comfortable. The people are organized and helpful, there is someone at the door who knows when people go in and out. They were referred to us by the nurses that do care there, and it was a great decision. There is nothing that she misses from home!"

"We visited Traditions of Dedham and we liked it. The caregivers were very personable. The people that live there seemed very happy. There were a lot of activities. The food looked really good, and they seemed to be happy with that. It was clean. They have like art classes, they have a small library, and they have like physical activity type classes, and I saw one of those. They have like little happy hours, and they have trips that they take them on with a van. They have bingo, game night, and movie nights. Every day, they have something. They have a schedule and a calendar with at least one thing every day. They gave us some cookies that the chef had made and those were pretty good."

"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."

"I loved everything about them; the staff was very warm, caring, and aware of the residents. I really liked the space provided, I was impressed with the menu, and they had great activities. I only have positive things about it. "

"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."

"Atria Marina Place looked decent. The person I talked to there was good. He took us around and showed us everything and explained everything to us. I think his name was Kevin and he was very friendly. He showed me all the areas where they cook and all the places that the residents hang out. It's really lovely. The room that was shown to us was refurbished. It's a really nice place. Everything is just up to date and I really love the place. It was clean. They have a patio, a salon, bingo, and games that they play."

"It was such a lovely place. It was all so bright, cheerful, and beautiful. I enjoyed the place. The people seemed friendly. As for the downside, they're expensive. The apartment is spacious enough if you're ready for that change. The facility was very clean. It was spotless. I was very impressed with that. It was lovely to talk with the staff and have my questions answered."

"Our family was at a standstill when our elderly mom was living on her own and experiencing more and more health issues than we could provide assistance for her privately. It took a while to convince her she needed help after living an independent life for so long. We contacted The Parc @ Harborview and within days we toured, she loved it, we moved her in. She immediately adapted to her new surroundings. The best thing is that the care she receives at the Parc is top notch. Aids check on her throughout the day and night. They are sure she gets to her meals in their elegant dining area and eating healthy choices with companions. She is greatly encouraged to join the other residents in their activities and social gatherings (which are many). She made friends with residents and staff and her loneliness and health have taken a complete turnaround. I thank the great staff at the Parc from Anita and Burt at the front desk, health care professionals, and all employees who help in sharing their time and care for the residents. I would highly suggest taking a look if you or your family member is feeling alone or unsafe living alone. This is the place to be. Super plus plus plus, the facility is spotless with lots of gathering areas throughout for family to meet with their loved one. Thanks to all for being there, I can sleep at night knowing Mom is in the best hands."

"What my mother was looking for was independent living with one meal a day, and apartments that had a kitchen with an actual stove. The other thing that she wanted was a balcony or an outdoor space, and New Pond Village had all of those things. It was a combination of the main things, the location, and the one-meal-a-day plan. They do have step-up care available. You can move to assisted or memory care from there. They've done a lot of recent renovations. The apartment that my mother got is gorgeous. It has a high ceiling and lots of light and windows. The common spaces are very nice. They're attractively laid out. The library is beautiful. The dining room is on the lower floor. It's like a walkout from the lower level basement and that's very pretty. The food was pretty good, there are multiple options, and it's served sit-down style for dinner like you're seated at a table and a staff member comes and takes your order. There's a bunch of things that they always offer at every meal and lots of fresh fruit and fresh vegetables. There's nothing wrong with the place. It's nice, it's just a lot of money. The staff is great."
