Evans Park at Newton Corner sits in a building that once served as a library back in 1905, and you really notice the mix of historic charm and useful updates as soon as you walk in and see the green facade, wood double doors, and potted flowers set out by the entrance. The place works hard to keep folks connected, so neighbors tend to feel like friends, and there's a good sense of belonging that runs deep since the staff encourage everyone to join in on programs or just sit together by one of the fireside gathering spots or down in the bistro where there's coffee out and plenty of friendly talk. They've got memory care that's really hands-on, with technology like bracelets that alert the staff if someone's wandered too far, and they have secure indoor and outdoor spaces so folks who might be prone to wander or just need extra supervision can still enjoy a garden stroll or quiet time with no worries.
Inside, the apartments come in studio, one-bedroom, or two-bedroom layouts, all with their own living areas, kitchenettes, bathrooms, and bedrooms, so there's some choice no matter what someone needs. The common rooms are roomy and bright, like the art studio with its colorful displays, the cheerful movie lounge, the library for quiet readers, and there's always activity in the exercise room or fitness center, where the treadmills, exercise bikes, and group classes like Tai Chi, yoga, or stretching keep folks moving. There are plenty of ways to stay busy with music, gardening, art, lectures, trivia, Wii bowling, or even the occasional wine tasting, and you'll see the full-time activity director coming up with new ideas all the time. The grounds include walking paths, a well-kept patio with tables and grill, and gardens for sitting outside or doing activities when the weather's nice.
Meals are cooked by a chef and served at restaurant-style tables or brought to rooms when needed, with special diets handled without fuss, so folks needing low salt or low sugar get just what they need, and there's private dining for family visits or special events too. Services go beyond just meals; housekeepers handle laundry and linens each week, there's help for appointments and rides for errands, and the staff take care of maintenance and trash so residents can focus on their day.
Plenty of care options make it possible for residents to stay in this community as their health changes, whether they need light help, plenty of hands-on care, diabetes management, or even full support with mechanical lifts for transfers. There's always a nurse around, with staff awake and available at all hours, and the team manages everything from medication to incontinence care or more advanced memory and behavioral needs. Folks who may have Alzheimer's, dementia, wandering, or even major behavior concerns will find they're accepted and cared for here, and there's a separate, cozy fireside living room space for those needing more support. Pets like cats and dogs are welcome, and the staff offer pet care help as well.
There are both indoor and outdoor spots to sit quietly or gather in groups, and you can find folks relaxing by the fire, joining an art class, or helping with a gardening project. There's a coffee bar for afternoon chats, devotional services both on and off the site, and help with getting where you need to go, plus amenities like an on-site beautician and support for hospice and respite needs, including the Easy Care respite program set up for short-term stays. Health services such as dental, podiatry, mental health, and more come right to the facility. Evans Park at Newton Corner works to offer a secure, friendly place that adapts to each resident's care needs, with a team led by Ron Seagrave, the Director of Community Relations, ensuring daily life is both lively and comfortable.
