There are very few things more important to the full enjoyment of our retirement years than good health, companionship, and comfort in the place we choose to live. Better retirement communities such as this offer a country inn-like atmosphere at a cost that is almost always less than the over all cost of living alone in a home. 

Every day, the choices we make determine the quality of our lives. As we grow older, it is often desirable to alter our housing arrangements while adapting to our changing circumstances. Locating a community that provides a caring, convenient environment, and meets our personal needs, becomes more important with each passing year.

Far better known now as "New Horizons," our 40 acre campus is much more than a housing development for seniors. Rather, it is a beautiful community where programs, recreation, and services are designed specifically for individuals. Our large indoor heated swimming pool is only one of the many features which so many residents use to maintain their vitality and their interest in continuing to live a full daily life. Living here will enable many to age-in-place and postpone or avoid altogether any need to move in with family members or to a nursing home in later years.

Independent and Assisted Living - Boston, MA

New Horizons MA Retirement Community is proud to offer a very attractive living arrangement for active individuals or couples who simply don't want to live alone anymore, or who want the convenience of knowing that help is nearby if needed. Similarly, other parts of this fine community are ideal for those who need some level of assistance with their daily responsibilities.

Home-cooked meals perhaps do the most for our fine reputation, because the exquisite dining rooms just always seem to become the center of everyone's attention - at least three times every day. Meal quality, variety, nutrition and overall appeal become extraordinarily important as we enjoy our later years. 

There is abundant free parking for those residents who drive, and a very efficient private bus which many residents use for their local-area shopping trips, etc., even if they still drive. Of course, many services may also be brought "to the door" for those residents who wish. For those who live in the very independent "Meadows" apartments, Dominos and Papa Ginos pizza deliveries come into our neighborhood, just like they visit every other neighborhood in town. 

All suites are fully private, with very nice oversized bathrooms, large kitchens or mini-kitchenettes, and lots of large windows. Care Solutions provides assisted living services, on request, for as few as 15 minutes per day for residents in the assisted living and independent sections of New Horizons. Care Solutions also provides 24-hour on-site RN coverage, including emergency services for residents in both New Horizons and the 154 fully independent Meadows units. 
All units in the main New Horizons building are serviced with emergency call systems, as well as full telephone, cable, and Internet capability. There is an office on-site for visiting physicians, and New Horizons enjoys a "preferred provider" arrangement with Marlborough Hospital / U. Mass Medical Center.

Enjoy a unique combination of independent living arrangements with ready access to a wide variety of medical and social services. Through constant attention to the needs of its residents, our fine, experienced staff provides warm and comfortable homes for those who can live independently, and will provide that extra personalized support for those who may need assistance. Residents may select exactly the program that is right for them.

Also available at this remarkable country campus is a separate specialized facility for residents living with Alzheimer's disease. Hearthstone Alzheimer Care, Ltd. serves up to 44 residents with a variety of dementia related issues. Priority access is available for residents of The Meadows apartments or of New Horizons, who may later need Alzheimer's care on either a full-time or part-time basis.

Although New Horizons is a completely non-sectarian private facility, there are weekly Protestant and Jewish religious services and daily Catholic Mass in a beautiful 120-seat chapel. This marvelous continuing care retirement community, which opened in September 1994, was developed by the highly successful Cummings Properties organization of Woburn, Massachusetts, and is a long-term member of Massachusetts Assisted Living Facilities Association.

New Horizons at Marlborough, LLC is a wholly owned not-for-profit independent and assisted living retirement facility of Cummings Foundation, Inc. For more information on the foundation, visit www.CummingsFoundation.org.

Our community is located on 40 acres of rolling meadows and woodlands, surrounded by deeded conservation land. Abundant animal life, including wild turkeys, foxes and deer frequent the property. We are also a fully state certified assisted living/continuing care retirement community (CCRC) for people 62 years and over who do not require the type of extensive nursing services typically associated with nursing homes. Furthermore, Country Living in Marlborough is a rental community with no sort of endowment requirement, and no commitment beyond 60 days. There is, however, a 100-percent-refundable $30,000 entrance deposit.
