Cambridge Homes

A trusted senior living community for 130 years, the not-for-profit Cambridge Homes features 44 independent and assisted living apartments and offers residents a wide variety of cultural, educational, wellness and social programs. The Cambridge Homes is located in an historic Georgian-style building on Mount Auburn Street just a mile from Harvard Square and adjacent to Mount Auburn Hospital. The exterior facade and interior original architectural details, such as fireplaces and detailed wood paneling, have been preserved or replicated to maintain the historic character of the century-old building. Antiques and fine art can be found throughout the residence. This gracious community is a good choice for individuals who wish to enjoy the many benefits of city living but who also desire security, personalized services and companionship. The residents of The Cambridge Homes enjoy its relaxed ambiance, stimulating programs and top quality services. They lead independent lives yet enjoy the advantages of living in a caring community where everyone’s voice is heard.

Independent Living at Senior Living Residences appeals to seniors who prefer to live on their own in an apartment, but who want the conveniences of living within a supportive community that provides services and amenities such as housekeeping, dining and 24-hour care staff. Living in a senior community also removes the hassles of home maintenance, such as shoveling your car out in the winter, and contracting someone to mow the lawn in the summer. You’ll have all the privacy you want with all the advantages of residing within a vibrant social environment with access to personal care services in the future, should you need them.

Our communities offer you choices, from a selection of apartment floor plans to a variety of dining options and services to meet your wellness needs. We also provide a wide array of social, recreational and enrichment programs with a lively schedule of activities, from computer and exercise classes to museum and theater outings to shopping and sightseeing excursions.

The Assisted Living option at Senior Living Residences’ communities is perfect for seniors who want independence, maintenance-free living, an active social life, and a helping hand with some daily needs such as personal care and managing medications. Picture this… your own apartment furnished just the way you want it, with all the privacy you want, with wellness services, a restaurant, intellectually stimulating programs, and private van transportation right outside your door!

You might be relieved to know that if you move into one of our communities you will retain your independence, make your own decisions concerning your care, meet new friends, and continue to pursue your personal interests and hobbies. Your adult children might be relieved to not have to worry about your safety and emotional and physical well-being!

At Senior Living Residences’ Assisted Living communities we offer you ample opportunities every day to socialize, engage in learning, express yourself in art, and enjoy lively entertainment. From adult education to art and music to outdoor pursuits, the possibilities are endless. Each of our buildings was designed to enhance our programs and encourage social gatherings, and our programming directors develop robust calendars to appeal to a variety of individual interests and hobbies.

We also know that sometimes the best days revolve around simple pleasures like taking a walk outdoors, visiting with family, reading snuggled up in a blanket, or pursuing some quality “me” time in a yoga or a slow stretch class, quietly planting in our community garden, or getting pampered at one of our full-service salons. Although the possibilities are endless at Senior Living Residences’ Assisted Living communities, how you decide to spend your day is your choice.
