Sophia Snow House in West Roxbury, MA, is an assisted-living community that supports residents who need daily oversight while valuing their independence. The care team can deliver help with bathing, manage diabetes care, and arrange on-site or visiting physician services. Residents have access to short-term or respite stays when family caregivers need a break, and a speech therapist is available for those working on communication or swallowing challenges.
Beyond direct medical oversight, the community is equipped with an emergency call system that allows residents to alert staff around the clock. Team members respond to calls for assistance, perform routine wellness checks, and coordinate with outside healthcare providers as needed, aiming to keep each resident safe and stable without unnecessary disruption to daily life.
Apartments vary in size and layout, and not all units include every feature, but options may offer housekeeping, wheelchair-accessible or handicap-friendly bathrooms with roll-in showers, individual climate control, and access to outdoor areas or on-site parking. Cats are welcomed in designated residences, and common spaces include a piano or organ for residents who enjoy playing or listening to music.
Daily meals are prepared by a professional chef and served restaurant-style, with all-day dining available for residents who prefer flexible mealtimes. Guests may join for meals, and menus can accommodate vegetarian, gluten-free, low- or no-sodium, and no-sugar preferences. Seasonal BBQs or picnics are organized when weather permits, and staff work with residents and families to handle special dietary instructions.
Residents can fill their days with programs in the activity center, clubs, and community service projects. Fitness offerings range from stretching classes to structured programs in an indoor or outdoor walking path, and the property has a swimming pool for low-impact exercise. Additional shared spaces include a library and computer lounge, arts and crafts room, movie theater, and areas set aside for wine tastings, happy hours, birthday celebrations, and scheduled social outings.
