The Residence at Whitcomb in Milford, MA operates as an assisted-living community with a clinical program designed to serve a wide range of needs. Registered and licensed practical nurses are on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock for urgent issues. The community admits residents under 60 and is equipped to support advanced dementia as well as behavioral or psychiatric concerns. In-house podiatry rounds reduce the need for outside appointments, and continuous monitoring is backed up by door alarms, pull-cord alerts, Personal Emergency Response Systems, and other safety technology.
Night-shift staff remain awake, and all employees pass background checks before hire. Full assistance is available for bathing, dressing, eating, and toileting, with one-person transfers, wheelchair or walker help, and standby supervision accommodated as needed. An activity director coordinates daily programming that aligns with individual care plans, while families can rely on comprehensive documentation and regular nurse assessments to track changing clinical needs.
Apartments are offered in several layouts; some include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, independent temperature controls, cable service, and the option to repaint or decorate, while others provide a simpler configuration to better fit budget or preference. Furnishings can be supplied by the community or replaced with personal items. Dining features a standard menu plus made-to-order selections at each meal, all-day snacks, and chef oversight of physician-ordered diets or texture modifications.
Independent-living residents on the same campus can receive medication-management monitoring, weekly housekeeping, personal laundry service, and a monthly meal plan, creating a seamless transition should future care needs change.
On-site amenities include resident parking, outside smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, and transportation for medical appointments and errands. A barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access points, and communal gardens round out daily options for engagement. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
