Edelweiss Village Assisted Living in Boston-West Roxbury accepts residents for Assisted Living, Independent Living, and Memory Care, and the team is prepared to manage the needs that come with advanced dementia. The community can accommodate residents who wander during the day or night, have a history of elopement, exhibit combative or other behavioral issues, stay awake overnight, require special diets, or need monitoring for diabetes managed by oral medication.
A registered nurse or licensed practical nurse is on staff, and a nurse is on call around the clock. Night-shift caregivers remain awake, and an activity director oversees daily engagement. Security measures include a fenced rear area, door alarms, in-room pull cords that alert staff, and a personal emergency response system that can contact 911. Podiatry is available on site. Residents may receive self-care support with bathing, standby assistance for eating and toileting, and some physical help with dressing. Staff can assist with transfers for those using walkers or wheelchairs, or those who only need standby supervision.
Living spaces range in size and layout. Some residences include private bathrooms, kitchenettes, individual temperature controls, and cable connections, and residents are generally allowed to paint or decorate to suit their preferences; however, not every unit offers every feature, so it is best to confirm details during a visit.
Meals are served three times a day from either a set menu or cooked to order, with snacks available between meals. The kitchen team accommodates physician-ordered and preference-based diet modifications, including special diets for diabetes, low-sodium needs, or other nutritional guidelines.
Amenities include resident parking, outdoor smoking areas, wheelchair-accessible common spaces, a barber and beauty shop, exercise room, movie room, wellness center, internet access, communal gardens, on-site religious services, and scheduled transportation. Pets are allowed; it’s a good idea to check with the community during your visit to see if your pet will be allowed.
