Sophia Snow Place stands as a retirement community for people aged 62 and older, offering a mix of independent living, assisted living, and memory care with a focus on elder care, and they work closely with Hebrew Senior Life, so they have a range of care options for different needs, like help for those with Alzheimer's or dementia and help with daily things like bathing, dressing, or grooming, and there's always someone on hand with 24-hour nurse coverage and trained aides for both medical and non-medical support. The community sits close to the Arnold Arboretum, just south of Faulkner Hospital, giving lovely green views and easy access to walking paths right out the back door, and folks can enjoy raised gardening beds, nature walks, and garden areas with well-kept lawns and bright flowerbeds that make it pleasant to spend time outside or just look out the window.
Sophia Snow Place has 66 roomy Independent Living apartments and 36 private Supportive Living suites, so whether someone is active or needs more help, both options are available and designed for convenience and comfort, with features like kitchens or kitchenettes, private bathrooms, sprinklers, safety rails, washers and dryers, emergency call systems, and cable TV in every unit. People can relax knowing housekeeping, laundry, and maintenance get handled, so daily hassles are out of the way, and transportation is offered for trips or medical visits. There's Wi-Fi and high-speed internet throughout, and residents gather in shared areas like the library, game room, meditation or worship rooms, a fitness center, and community rooms on the ground floor that are always busy with social activities like yoga, group outings, and special events.
There's a welcoming entrance with covered walkways, and the landscaping is colorful and well-tended. Residents enjoy three meals a day-prepared by chefs and meal planners-served in a dining room with restaurant-style options, and there's even a pastry cart in the mornings for a treat with coffee. The place is also pet-friendly and accessible for people with disabilities. There are amenities like beauty and barber services, guest parking, and elevators, making movement easy for everyone. Safety and support are priorities with memory care services for those with dementia and Alzheimer's, medication management, and staff known for being helpful and professional in a secure environment.
Sophia Snow Place encourages everyone to make new friends, join in activities, and explore the outdoors, whether that's through social events, gardening, or walks on the scenic campus, and with their non-profit history dating back to 1856, the community keeps its focus on affordable, quality living for seniors. The facility offers an interactive virtual tour online for anyone interested in seeing what daily life looks like there.
