Most New Horizons residents are actually in the Independent Living program, although many still require a little help from time to time - say for medication reminders or assistance with bathing, for instance. Others with greater needs will sign up for the full Assisted Living program, and will have a set arrangement, of daily personal care assistance, depending upon their needs. Each resident's specific needs can only be accessed through a careful evaluation, following receipt of a Physician's Statement. Service charges are billed accordingly.

IMPORTANT DISCLOSURE Although most seniors would prefer assisted living over nursing home residence, assisted living facilities in Massachusetts may not provide 24-hour skilled nursing care, and they are not appropriate for everyone. Residents come and go as they wish. They are not under constant oversight, and sometimes they make choices that may not appear to be in their own best interests. New Horizons is a not-for-profit community which provides personalized supportive services with the activities of daily living, but does not, and can not, monitor its residents.
