Stonebridge Commons sits in Hanson, Massachusetts, as a community for adults aged 55 and over, and it's surrounded by peaceful pine woods, not far from places like Ridder Golf & Country Club, lakes, and parks, so folks who move here often enjoy the natural scenery and quiet. The homes in Stonebridge Commons mostly come as well-built attached townhouses or condominiums, many built around 2010 or 2018, with square footage ranging from about 1,596 up to nearly 2,931 square feet, and they usually have two or three bedrooms, two to three and a half bathrooms, attached two-car garages, open floor plans, central air and heating, a full basement for storage, and they even have fireplaces in some units. The community itself has 120 units altogether and keeps things low-maintenance by having a homeowners association handle the exterior and common area upkeep, so residents don't have to worry about yard work or repairs outside.
Stonebridge Commons is for independent, active older adults, but it also offers a range of health services, so it's set up for aging in place; people can start in independent living and later get support like assisted living, skilled nursing, rehabilitation, and memory care, all depending on what's needed after an illness or hospital stay, and there's even care for folks living with dementia in secure and supervised settings. The staff help with personal care, dressing, bathing, medication management, and there's always a 24-hour call system in place for emergencies, plus meals are prepared and served, including restaurant-style dining, meals for people with allergies or diabetes, and even a professional chef. If someone only needs to stay for a short time, maybe while a primary caregiver takes a break, respite care is available too.
For the social side, there's a large clubhouse at the heart of the property with rooms for activities like games, arts and crafts, music, and movies, and it even has a well-stocked library and a fitness center with equipment for both cardio and weight training. Community events fill up the calendar, and there's often something going on in the multi-purpose room or outside where residents can play bocce ball or horseshoes, or just walk along the paths that wind through the trees. Stonebridge Commons provides transportation, parking, laundry and housekeeping services, help with moving in, and even family support if needed, and there's Wi-Fi, telephones, cable TV, private bathrooms, and kitchenettes in the homes for everyday comfort.
Safety and health may be a concern for some, so the homes have emergency alert systems and regular supervision, and the community's equipped to help folks with mobility challenges, including non-ambulatory care. Residents get to keep their independence for as long as possible, and the place tries to keep things easy, inclusive, and friendly. Stonebridge Commons is about an hour from Boston and Cambridge, and it's close to the Hanson Senior Center, so residents can join clubs or attend events in the wider local community. Units come up for sale, usually around the $680,000 mark, and you'll find condos or townhomes with flexible floor plans and plenty of space. The setting's calm, the surroundings stay pretty, and the aim is to let older adults enjoy life among their peers while having help close by if it becomes necessary.
