William Coolidge House

William Coolidge House sits in Natick, Massachusetts, and serves as a residential care home for adults who can't safely live on their own but don't need round-the-clock skilled nursing, and this old building used to be a private nursing home and senior residence before sitting empty for nine years, but now it's managed by the Natick Housing Authority, which keeps up the facilities and owns the place, and the building has three stories with ten apartments that are described as swank units full of natural light, each with a living room, bathroom, bedroom, and a kitchen that has modern appliances. Some tenants pay about $300 a month, and some don't pay anything, and this setup comes from the 689 state housing program that's meant to support people with both mental and physical health challenges, so naturally many residents do have those needs, and to keep things running smoothly, there's support staff who are contracted by the Department of Mental Health who help residents with daily activities, medication management, meals, and personal care-they're always around to help, and they do it with kindness and good cheer, which makes for a friendly environment. William Coolidge House works as transitional housing for both men and women and provides assisted living but doesn't give round-the-clock skilled nursing, although it does offer respite care so caregivers can get short-term relief, and residents can also get independent living, home care, memory care, hospice, rehabilitation, and nursing care services as needed. Nutritious meals are prepared with good ingredients and there are activities to keep people engaged socially, physically, mentally, and emotionally, which has earned William Coolidge House recognition with the Best of Senior Living Award for exceptional care, and the staff's compassion makes a big difference for both residents and families. Every resident gets services that match their own needs, and people describe the environment as nurturing, with strong support for health and daily living, but details about specific services, extra features, or unique names haven't been published or specified, and price details aren't public either.
