Whitney Place Assisted Living and Memory Care sits on a 57-acre property along the Charles River and is part of SALMON Health and Retirement, which has been family owned and operated for almost seventy years. Staff and care providers warmly welcome residents and help with daily routines such as bathing, dressing, and medication management, and there's always 24-hour emergency response and supervision. The community has sixty assisted living apartments and forty apartments for memory care, so people who need support for dementia or Alzheimer's get care from nurses and memory care professionals in secure, comfortable spaces. People can choose private or shared apartments, including one- and two-bedroom layouts, each with a private bathroom, cable TV, air conditioning, Wi-Fi, and kitchenettes, plus ADA features for those who need them, which makes moving in or changing needs a little easier.
Meals come from the HARVEST Dining program, and a professional chef prepares restaurant-style food, using good ingredients and meeting special diets like allergies or diabetes, and snacks are always close by. Residents can join regular activities, outings, or just relax-the fitness room, pool, spa, art room, and walking trails give folks choices, and there are flower rooms, gardens, a putting green, and a bocce court, so there's often something happening outside too. Community events, music programs, clubs, and movie nights run each week, aiming to keep everyone active and engaged if that's what they want.
Healthcare happens on-site, including skilled nursing, rehab, home care, and hospice, so residents can stay in the same community if needs change, which means they don't need to move far even if they need more help later. Tapestry Memory Care, SALMON's own approach, offers sensory therapies, wellness programs, and help for folks living with dementia. Staff give daily assistance, help with transfers, and manage medication, and a nurse hotline and call system run 24/7, so someone's always available.
There's scheduled transportation for errands, housekeeping, laundry, safety checks, move-in help, and parking, so life runs a little smoother. Residents say the staff are friendly, and reviews mention people feel comfortable and supported during transitions. The grounds are quiet and open, giving space to walk or enjoy time outdoors. Whitney Place aims to keep things simple, maintain dignity, and help people enjoy daily life with the help they need, while remaining part of a long-standing and caring organization.
