The Residence at Natick South offers both Assisted Living and Memory Care, giving residents access to two distinct levels of support under one roof. Licensed nurses oversee medication management and coordinate with residents’ physicians, while certified aides are on hand around-the-clock to help with dressing, bathing, mobility, and other activities of daily living. For Memory Care residents, the community provides a secure environment, structured programming, and staff trained in dementia-specific techniques designed to reduce agitation and maintain safety. Regular health assessments allow care plans to be updated quickly when a resident’s condition changes.
Beyond daily medical needs, the community supports wellness through scheduled on-site visits from primary-care physicians, podiatrists, physical and occupational therapists, and other specialists. A 24-hour emergency response system links each apartment to staff, and the building is equipped with backup power to ensure continuous operation of medical devices. Residents have access to transportation for off-site medical appointments, and family members receive regular care conferences to stay informed. Exercise classes, cognitive activities, and nutritional counseling are offered to help residents maintain overall health.
Accommodation options range from studios to two-bedroom apartments, each with a private or shared bath, basic cable, individual climate controls, and an emergency call feature, though not every apartment includes every amenity. Kitchenettes are available in many Assisted Living units, while Memory Care suites are simplified to reduce confusion. Weekly housekeeping, linen service, and maintenance are standard; laundry service can be added for an extra fee. Some ground-floor units offer direct access to a secure courtyard, which may appeal to residents who value outdoor time.
Three daily meals are prepared on site, with entrée choices and modified textures available for those with swallowing difficulties or other dietary restrictions. Registered dietitians review menus to ensure they meet recommended nutritional guidelines, and staff monitor meal intake for residents with specialized care plans. Snacks and beverages are accessible throughout the day, and guests can join residents for meals for a nominal charge. A separate dining room for Memory Care allows staff to provide cueing and a calmer environment, while Assisted Living residents eat in a larger restaurant-style venue that supports both social interaction and staff supervision.
