The Woodlands At Pleasant Bay in Brewster, Massachusetts, provides Assisted Living with an emphasis on consistent medical oversight. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on staff, backed by a 24-hour nurse on call, so residents under 60 and those managing diabetes with oral medications receive prompt clinical attention. While the community does not accommodate memory-care needs, every resident’s care plan is reviewed regularly by licensed professionals to keep treatments and medication schedules current.
Round-the-clock staffing includes both awake and asleep night-shift personnel, all cleared through background checks. Residents can receive full assistance with bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, and transfer support ranges from standby supervision to two-person lifts, covering walkers and wheelchairs. The building is door-alarmed, equipped with wander-guard technology, and monitored by on-site security 24/7. An activities director coordinates daily programs to help residents stay active and socially engaged.
Accommodations include studio and one-bedroom suites; some feature private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, and cable service, and residents may furnish, paint, and decorate to preference. Not every unit has every feature, so confirming specific layouts during a tour is advised. For individuals choosing Independent Living, the community offers medication-management monitoring, ensuring prescriptions are taken correctly even without the full Assisted Living service package.
Meals are prepared by the culinary team and served on a set menu, yet an on-order option is available at each seating. Snacks are stocked throughout the day, and the kitchen can modify textures and adhere to physician-directed diets, including diabetic and low-sodium plans. Residents who need full assistance with eating receive help in the dining room or in their suites, and Independent Living residents can also opt into the dining program while continuing to receive medication oversight.
Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, an exercise room, wellness center, barber/beauty shop, internet access, and communal gardens with a stair glide to help navigate changes in elevation. Scheduled transportation is provided, and the property is close to public transit for added convenience. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
