The Newbury of Brookline offers three levels of residency: independent living for those who want a maintenance-free apartment with optional support, assisted living for residents who need help with everyday tasks such as dressing and medication reminders, and a dedicated memory care program designed for individuals living with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. This range of care allows residents to transition smoothly should their needs change, without leaving the community they know.
On-site medical resources support these living options. Podiatrists and dentists visit the community regularly, reducing the need for off-site appointments. A therapy room is available for physical, occupational, or speech therapy sessions ordered by a physician, and audiology services help residents maintain hearing health. Nursing staff coordinate these services, provide routine health monitoring, and manage medications, ensuring a consistent approach to care.
Apartments vary in size and layout, but many include independent temperature controls, laundry machines in the unit, kitchenettes, cable service, and private bathrooms. Housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are available for every residence, and residents can personalize their space with their own paint colors and décor. Because floor plans differ, not every apartment offers every feature; staff can outline which options are included in each unit during a tour.
Meals are prepared on site, and residents may choose between a set menu or ordering specific dishes. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings, and room service is available for those who prefer in-room dining. The culinary team accommodates diet modifications, including gluten-free, vegetarian, and mechanically chopped textures, and keeps snacks accessible throughout the day. This flexibility helps residents maintain health while still enjoying mealtime choices.
