The rooms are spacious, single occupancy studios with private bathrooms, kitchenettes, air conditioning, cable TV, telephones, and Wi-Fi, with options for adjoining rooms for couples. Units come furnished, and the all-inclusive monthly price keeps costs predictable without hidden fees. There are caring Direct Care Assistants (DCA) who help with meals, bathing, dressing, eating, grooming, toileting, and other daily needs, and trained staff including a Wellness Coordinator and Life Enrichment Coordinator who work on customized care plans for each person. Medication management happens with oversight from RN's and LPN's, so residents get extra support as needed, along with some non-ambulatory care, 12-16 hour nursing, and help with transfers. There's 24/7 care and a staff that tries to be cheerful and helpful, along with a 24-hour call system for emergencies.
Heritage Pointe New Boston offers a secure, structured memory care program with routines and special support for people with Alzheimer's or dementia, with trained staff to reduce confusion and prevent wandering.
