Nichols Village in Groveland, MA offers two primary care tracks. Residents who are largely self-reliant can choose Independent Living and receive light support as needs emerge. Those living with advanced dementia can enroll in a dedicated program that incorporates 24-hour nurse access, structured cognitive support and close health monitoring. The presence of licensed nursing personnel on call around the clock allows the community to address medication issues, sudden health changes and ongoing chronic conditions without delay.

Daily support services cover the full range of activities of daily living. Staff can provide complete assistance with bathing, eating, dressing and toileting, and are trained to manage every level of mobility—from simple standby help for walker users to two-person transfers, full transfers with a Hoyer lift and care for residents who are completely bed bound. A security team and direct-care staff are on site 24 hours a day, and an Activity Director plans structured and unstructured programs to maintain engagement and routine.

Accommodation options include apartments that may feature a private bathroom, independent temperature controls, in-unit laundry machines, cable service and the option to paint or decorate the space to personal preference, though not every unit includes every feature. Regular housekeeping and scheduled laundry services are provided, while Independent Living residents can request housekeeping, laundry and a monthly meal plan as separate services.

Dining follows an on-order system that lets residents choose meals at each sitting, supported by a wide snack selection throughout the day. The culinary team can accommodate gluten-free, vegetarian and other physician-ordered diet modifications, and a private dining room is available for family gatherings or special occasions.

Amenities include resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, communal gardens, an exercise room, wellness center, pool, movie room, library, barber and beauty shop, on-site religious services, concierge support, high-speed internet, special-interest clubs and scheduled transportation for errands and medical appointments. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
