Concord Park Senior Living sits at 68 Commonwealth Avenue in Concord, Massachusetts, and offers different kinds of living options on one campus, so there's independent living for healthy seniors who want an active lifestyle, assisted living services for those who need some daily help, and a secure Compass Memory Support Neighborhood® for people with dementia or Alzheimer's disease, and you'll find more than 75 private and companion apartments, like studios and one-bedrooms that residents can decorate, with bathrooms, kitchens, telephones, and televisions, and the place is all wheelchair accessible, including the showers, with a pet-friendly policy in place. Residents get personal care around the clock, with staff helping with things like bathing, dressing, and medication management, and there's semiannual health checks by a registered nurse as well as on-site beauty salon, housecleaning, laundry, guest meals, and restaurant-style dining, and they pay close attention to food preferences and needs, offering gluten-free, low-sugar, low-sodium, and Mediterranean diet options, and the chefs focus on making meals fresh with local and in-season ingredients.
The Compass Memory Support Neighborhood® is unique with research-based activities, daily programming, and sensory spaces like snoezelen rooms for people with memory loss, and Concord Park is connected to the Boston University Alzheimer's Disease Research Center, and has earned Purple Flag for Dementia Care Accreditation, and the ConnectedLIFE program serves people with mild cognitive impairment, offering extra support before symptoms get worse, and there's structured routines for all residents, with exercise classes, wellness programs for strength and balance, cultural and spiritual activities, outings, lectures, arts and crafts, and a calendar full of things to try for anyone who likes to keep busy or make new friends, and the EnrichedLIFE programming helps people stay independent and engaged with social and educational experiences.
Inside, there are many places to spend time, like a big dining room, country kitchen, fireplaces, library, game room, arts and crafts center, and renovated indoor spaces, and outside, large landscaped patios and gardens sit near walking trails that run along the Assabet River, with a picnic area behind the community, and a main street area adds a little charm, and some people really like spending time in the enclosed courtyards. Concord Park also offers scheduled group outings, guest parking, complimentary private transportation, access to bus lines, and a short-term stay program so someone can try living there without making a long-term commitment, and they allow visits from close pets, have high-speed Wi-Fi, and the whole property is built to make getting around as easy as possible. The community takes part in the Dementia Friendly Communities Initiative, so they give free dementia education to local families, caregivers, emergency staff, and others, and all care staff train to treat each other and residents with kindness, respect, and understanding. Housekeeping and laundry come included, and for those who need more care, Concord Park can support aging in place as needs change, offering hospice and respite care, while the Memory Support team focuses on keeping life safe and meaningful for every resident as best as they can, and that's really what stands out to people when they've spent some time there-a sense that things are thoughtfully set up and there's lots to do, plenty of routines and support, and lots of respect and understanding for folks who live there. Starting monthly prices for memory care are $9,050.
