Whitney Place at Northborough offers two primary levels of support: Assisted Living for residents who want help with daily tasks yet value independence, and a dedicated Memory Care program tailored to individuals facing Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. Both options operate within a secured community, ensuring consistent oversight and controlled access for resident safety.
Beyond daily assistance, the community maintains a broad range of health services on site. Licensed practical nurses are on duty 24 hours a day and coordinate with therapists who provide physical, occupational, and speech therapy. Staff deliver incontinence and ambulatory care, oversee medication management, and support residents with diabetes. Short-term respite stays are available for those recovering from illness or when family caregivers are unavailable, and hospice care can be arranged when needed. The Memory Care neighborhood is designed specifically to accommodate memory loss, pairing specialized programming with an environment that minimizes confusion.
Residences include options that may feature Wi-Fi, outdoor sitting areas, pet-friendly policies, and on-site parking, though not every apartment offers every feature. Suites are designed for ease of movement and are equipped with emergency response systems.
Dining follows an all-day model, so residents can eat on their own schedule. The culinary team serves restaurant-style meals, prepares guest plates when family visits, and offers international dishes, gluten-free selections, and other medically indicated diets. Meals are provided daily, but specific menu choices and portion sizes can be adjusted to individual needs.
Residents can join an active calendar of social, recreational, and educational programs that ranges from yoga, chair yoga, and fitness classes to live music, karaoke, and dances. The community also schedules happy hours, birthday celebrations, intergenerational events, swimming, and off-site excursions. Club gatherings, a library and computer lounge, raised garden beds, and an activity center help residents pursue hobbies and maintain connections with neighbors.
