Kennedy Meadows Gracious Retirement Living in North Billerica, MA is an Independent Living community. It is able to accept residents younger than 60, and routine medical oversight is available for that population. The community does not offer any specialized support for dementia or memory-related conditions.

Safety and day-to-day assistance are covered by staff who have passed background checks and remain on site 24 hours a day. Pull-cords in the apartments and optional personal emergency response systems connect directly to staff when help is needed. Caregivers can step in with bathing, eating, dressing, and toileting for residents who require hands-on help, and they can assist with transfers involving a walker. Activities are coordinated by a dedicated activity director.

Apartments differ in features; some include a private bathroom, kitchenette, independent temperature controls, and the option to paint or decorate the space, while others do not. Housekeeping is scheduled weekly, and laundry service can be arranged, both included in the Independent Living package. These services allow residents to focus on their own routines instead of household chores.

Meals are provided through a monthly meal plan designed for Independent Living residents. A set menu is served in the main dining room, and diet modifications are made when prescribed. A private dining room can be reserved for family gatherings. Residents who prefer to prepare light snacks or small meals can do so in their in-unit kitchenette.

The community provides resident parking, wheelchair-accessible common areas, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, library, concierge services, and campus-wide internet access. Scheduled transportation is available for shopping, appointments, and local outings. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
