Cabot Park Village

Cabot Park Village is too expensive for us, but the location, food, and grounds are good. This facility has a lot going for it, but we couldn’t afford it.

Cabot Park Village was not too big. It did not feel overly institutional. It was very homey. The staff was very helpful. They talked with us for a long time and answered all our questions. The apartments looked just like regular apartments, but I liked that they were a little bigger. The food was good. They had all kinds of outings, and they also had people come in to do lectures. There were a lot of common areas for people to sit around and chat.

Cabot Park Village is something like $4000 a month for one-bedroom unit. They do have a pool that's big enough to do laps in. They have a singing group. They do have personal trainers and that's included as part of your monthly fee. Some housekeeping is included as well. He was able to show me a one-bedroom and it was a very nice looking place. The kitchen wasn't large, but it was well organized. The dining area looked nice. I believe they have an elevator on either end of the building so people who have walkers do not have any trouble getting up and down. I think the building is two floors high. The staff was very nice. I can't drive anymore so they sent their van to pick me up. As I was getting a tour of the place, there were residents who kept coming up and saying that this is a great place.

Cabot Park Village was not a buy-in, but rather a rental, and their fee was beyond our budget. I like its location, though, and the staff was very nice.
