Edgewood LifeCare Community sits on a peaceful 100-acre campus next to woods, scenic Lake Cochichewick, and the old Edgewood Farm, where you'll see lots of flowers, lawns, and stone walls, and there's always a bench out somewhere under the trees if you want to sit awhile. The campus has cozy homes, charming cottages, some barn-style buildings, and apartments ranging from one to three bedrooms, with unit sizes between 675 and 1519 square feet, and many come with things like big closets, patios, extra bathrooms, and those big windows that let in lots of light so you can see all the woodland and the birds outside, plus you'll find special touches in some places like a Den, Loft, or Study, all made to feel comfortable and safe. Living here means you've got options, whether it's independent living with your own apartment or cottage, assisted living, memory care, nursing home care, short-term rehab, or Lifecare, which covers future health needs so you don't have to worry as much if things change, and all the healthcare, like primary care at The Rokous Center, skilled nursing at The Meadows Health Center, and memory support at The Woodlands Inn, is right there on campus with trained staff available around the clock.
Edgewood offers a full calendar of meaningful activities and programs both inside and around the grounds, with everything from fitness classes and swimming in the indoor pool, arts and crafts, woodworking, peaceful walks or hikes on trails, to fishing or canoeing on the lake, and trips to nearby Boston. Meals are cooked by an executive chef who serves up seasonal, farm-to-table food that's both tasty and healthy, and if you need help with transportation, that's provided too. You can join in social events in the elegant community rooms or relax in cozy fireplaces lounges, and you'll always find someone to talk to or share a meal with. For those who need more care or help, Edgewood has personalized services, wellness programs, and activities focused on physical, intellectual, emotional, social, and spiritual wellness, along with help for health planning and transitions, falls prevention, end of life care, and more, backed by national safety and quality programs like the Fight the Flu Campaign and Massachusetts Health Consortium work. The staff, including the Innkeepers at The Woodlands Inn with its small-home model where ten people live together in a setting that feels like a New England inn, try to give care that respects dignity and independence, and there's a commitment to supporting caregiver wages and having the right staff for the number of residents.
Apartments and cottages are designed for comfort and privacy, with options for folks who like more space or want something smaller and cozier, all with easy access to outdoor areas and natural light. The community cares about every stage of health, offering memory support, skilled nursing, hospice, short rehab, and even adult day care, along with home health support for those who want to stay independent as long as possible. At Edgewood, you'll find plenty of ways to stay active, keep your mind sharp, and connect with other people, whether it's on a woodland path, in the kitchen with a cup of coffee, or during a group art class. The grounds stay quiet and beautiful all year round, and if you need extra help, you'll find staff who know their jobs and want to help. The focus is on making sure everyone has the dignity, freedom, and security they need, all in a setting that feels like home.
