Lydia Square - Ages 62+ sits in Rockland, Massachusetts, and the place opened new in the summer of 2021, offering a community only for folks 62 and older, with income restrictions that depend on the size of the household so you have to qualify. The apartments come in one and two bedroom setups, all with private views, open floor plans, full kitchens with stainless steel appliances such as a dishwasher, oven, range, microwave, and refrigerator, plus pantries and living areas, and most units have their own washer and dryer while the building also has laundry facilities. Lydia Square is fully furnished and gives you cable or satellite TV, Wi-Fi, and telephone services in the rent, with utilities like gas, water, and trash pick-up included, which you don't see everywhere these days, and the units all feature energy-efficient appliances and systems to keep the bills and temperature low.
This community fits up to 22 residents and sticks to a calm and peaceful environment, with outdoor gardens and a rooftop terrace with a fireplace, so folks can spend time outside when the weather's good, and there's also a clubroom, a fitness center, and a library with computers. They welcome cats and small dogs under 25 pounds (for an extra $50 per month per pet), follow a non-smoking policy, and keep things quiet and safe with a security deposit equal to a month's rent. Lydia Square runs daily scheduled activities for fun along with resident-run programs and community-sponsored events to get people together, which seems nice for those who like to participate. You'll find support for independent seniors and also some services for those who might need more help, such as meal preparation and service, medication management, dressing assistance, housekeeping, and even hospice waiver services for end-of-life care.
The building is ADA compliant and upholds all Fair Housing Guidelines, and there's an on-site Old Colony Elder Services provider to help residents connect with more resources. They offer a mental wellness program for emotional health, plus amenities built with seniors in mind, using solid wood cabinets, hardwood floors, and mini blinds for comfort and privacy. Lydia Square accepts folks for immediate move-in, and rental rates aim to be affordable. They've earned a good community score (9.4 on the Seniorly Community Score), and you can choose either independent living with some assistance or group living, with apartment options and spaces designed to be easy for older adults to use and enjoy without fuss.
