The Terraces at Tuckerman Lane offers assisted-living services designed for residents who need daily oversight as well as specific clinical interventions. The care team can monitor and redirect residents who wander during the day or night, remain awake for individuals who are up all night, and manage wound care, oxygen therapy and specialized diets. Younger adults under 60 are accepted, and both oral-medication and insulin-dependent diabetics can be accommodated. The community is also equipped to support moderate dementia conditions, coordinating care plans that align with each resident’s cognitive and physical needs.

Clinical coverage includes an RN or LPN on staff, a licensed nurse on site around the clock and an additional nurse on call 24/7. All employees undergo background checks, and the night shift remains awake to respond to pull-cord alerts, door alarms and the community’s personal emergency response system. On-site services extend to podiatry, audiology, dental care, a therapy room and acceptance of residents with psychiatric diagnoses. Staff can provide full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating and toileting, and they are trained in a wide range of transfers, from standby help with a walker to two-person or Hoyer-lift transfers for bed-bound residents.

Accommodation options include suites with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, furnished living areas, independent temperature controls and cable service, along with regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry. Not all apartments include every listed feature, so confirming specific layouts during a tour is recommended.

Meals are prepared using both a set menu and an on-order system, and snacks are available throughout the day. Residents may choose to dine in the restaurant-style dining room, request in-room service or reserve the private dining space for family gatherings. The culinary team accommodates physician-ordered diet modifications, including mechanical-chopped, puréed, thickened-liquid and vegetarian selections.

Community amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, pet-friendly policies, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a full-service barber and beauty shop, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, concierge assistance, a library and several special-interest clubs. Transportation is available through scheduled medical shuttles, and the campus is close to public transit options. It’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
