Chestnut Park at Cleveland Circle sits in a quiet Boston neighborhood near the MBTA and Chestnut Hill Reservoir, in a spot that's close to shops, restaurants, community programs, and the JCC of Greater Boston Early Learning Center. The community welcomes residents age 50 and up with separate options for men or women who prefer it that way, and offers a wide range of care, like independent living for those who can handle things themselves, assisted living for those who need some help with daily tasks, memory care for conditions like Alzheimer's, and short-term respite care. People who live here get 24-hour assistance from staff, and nurses stay onsite to give help whenever it's needed. A doctor is on call, homecare support can come right to the door, and the services stretch from physical, occupational, and speech therapy to visits from podiatrists and dentists, all the way to support for hospice and different illness-related care needs.
Residents can count on help with things like bathing, dressing, grooming, and taking medicine, even for people with complex needs like diabetic care, monitoring blood sugar, and incontinence help. The staff watches over everyone, including those who wander, have difficult behaviors, or need one or even two people to help them move. Technology like special bracelets helps keep everyone safe, and the memory care section is designed especially for those with dementia or Alzheimer's, using research-based programming that helps with social, mental, and physical engagement. There are devotional services both on and offsite, activity programs inside and out, and spaces set aside for art classes, gardening, fitness activities like yoga and stretching, cooking classes, intergenerational learning, and lectures.
Pets like dogs and cats can move in too, and the place has big indoor and outdoor spaces, a library and sitting areas filled with natural light, wheelchair-accessible showers and tubs, and gardens with walking paths and benches under a large tree. Residents can explore relaxing courtyards and patios with lush garden beds or enjoy the comfortable common rooms, some with fireplaces and stylish furniture, and there's always a place set up for a game of chess or cards. Spacious apartment choices include studios, one-bedrooms, and companion suites for memory care, plus kitchenette units with wood cabinets and cozy living areas. Meal service means chef-prepared dishes, restaurant-style dining, and special diets when they're needed, all in dining rooms with linen tables and fresh flowers. The community provides transportation for errands or doctor's appointments and has its own parking for residents who drive.
There's a salon and barbershop, fitness room with therapy equipment, private dining rooms for family or special meals, and even a library with books and soft seats. People who enjoy being social can join resident-led programs, enjoy live well programs, and attend special events. The whole property is securely fenced for safety, especially helpful for people with memory loss, and the building's brick exterior sits among blooming flowers, where everyone can relax outside on nice days or stroll the paths. With aging in place options, residents don't need to move as needs change, since care plans can be updated and extra support added over time. Educational tools, community resources, and support with financing senior care are available, and unique features like documentary screenings and a glossary help families understand senior living better.
