Pleasant Hill Retirement Community

Pleasant Hill Retirement Community sits in Marlborough, Massachusetts, for adults age 55 and up, and when walking around, you'll see covered parking, guest spots, and controlled access for safety, and easy wheelchair access so everybody can get around, and you'll notice the setting's surrounded by woods, lakes, and trails, with places like Fort Meadow Lake and the Assabet River National Wildlife Refuge close by. People living here get three chef-prepared meals every day, with flexible dining hours, and if you like snacking, there's always coffee, ice cream, and snacks available, with options for special diets like low salt, low fat, diabetic, kosher, and vegetarian. Each apartment-whether it's a studio, one, two, or even three bedrooms-comes with kitchen appliances, climate controls, Wi-Fi, closets, and a button for the 24/7 emergency system, and the staff keep things clean with weekly housekeeping and linen services, and they'll help with scheduled transportation for appointments, shopping, or just getting out to a nearby restaurant or the library. The building has big common areas, like a 150-seat theater for movies or concerts, a library, billiards and game room, a gym, a beauty salon, and a business center, plus a lounge with bar and big TVs, and if you want to get your hair done, pick up a snack, or go to the general store, that's all right here. The monthly rent covers everything-utilities, cable, phone, internet, fitness programs like yoga or aerobics, and all sorts of planned activities, games, arts and crafts, field trips, and entertainment, and if you've got a pet, they're welcome too, with no extra fee, and guests can stay in a special suite with meals included. The grounds have lots of trees and water nearby, so you get that quiet, peaceful feeling walking around, but there's also scheduled transportation to get to dining, shopping, and entertainment around the Hudson area. There are live-in managers here, Rick Hitchings and Rachel Hitchings, plus a lifestyle director and other staff always around, and everyone's got access to concierge and valet services at any time, with things like medicine delivery, personal care, and therapies like physical therapy if needed. Residents can keep up religious practices with on-site services, join book clubs or card games, and if you want to travel, you can go stay a week at any other community run by Resort Lifestyle Communities, with all meals and a guest suite included. There are lots of chances for social connection, skill-building, and fun, and people can stay close to work or friends in the area if they want. Payments are easy-with both check and credit card options-and there aren't any buy-in fees or long-term leases, making things straightforward. The grand opening is planned for January 16th, 2025, with model apartments to tour and special chef-prepared treats to sample, and people can talk to staff, like Senior Living Consultant Athena Pandolf and corporate marketer Bang Lake, during their visit to get a sense for life here, where everything is made to be comfortable, safe, and easy for seniors wanting a secure, active, and relaxing place to live.
