Visiting Nurse Assisted Living

When people view our beautiful and modern Lowell Street assisted living residence and Alewife Brook Parkway independent living residence they often comment we’re a hidden gem in the heart of Greater Boston bordering Cambridge, Arlington, Lexington, Winchester, Belmont, Medford, Waltham, Woburn and Somerville.

Combining the freedom of independent living with exceptional round-the-clock services, the VNA offers the best that assisted and senior living has to offer, including spacious private 550 square foot one-bedroom apartments in immaculately maintained, fully handicapped-accessible facilities.

If you or someone you know needs a helping hand, come see what life is like at Visiting Nurses Assisted & Senior Living Communities, we know you’ll be delighted.

Daily life at each community is far from boring. From morning walking excursions to weekly book clubs, you’ll find something to help keep a sparkle in your eye and a spring in your step.

Each week we post our Daily Activities schedule. You’ll find plenty to stimulate your thinking: build a puzzle, talk about current events or books, play bingo or take a trip with other residents to local areas of interest. And because you’re independent, you’re free to go shopping, take in a movie or eat out for lunch. It’s your choice. Monthly field trips to local attractions are a favorite activity.

Staying fit is a lifelong pursuit. We’ll help ensure you get the right exercise. Attend the Exercise Group each morning after breakfast or the walks around the neighborhood. Join the Fit 4Life Program sponsored by the Council of Aging and Tufts School of Nutrition, or the SAIL program (Stay Active and Independent for Life) to help prevent falls.

We also recognize that spiritual well-being is equally important, and our community rooms are used by many of our residents for a wide variety of religious services and meditations.

As a resident of the VNA Assisted and Senior Living Communities, you can eat meals you prepare in your apartment . . . or those our chefs prepare for you. Join fellow residents in the main dining room and enjoy breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week.

In order to promote a healthy diet, a registered dietician reviews our menus to ensure that a nutritional balance is maintained. Choose from heart healthy breakfasts and mouth-watering lunches and dinners – all prepared by our professional chefs and their staffs in our fully stocked kitchens.

The dietician is also available to meet with you individually to help you meet your nutritional goals.

We have several Home Visiting Physicians and Nurse Practitioners from the House Calls Program and Elder Service Plan (PACE) on site every day to help with your individual wellness needs. When needed, our own Visiting Nurse team comprised of nurses, home care aides, physical therapists, occupational and speech therapists can be called in as well. Of course, you’re always welcome to keep your own physician and providers if you so desire.

By living at the VNA communities, you’re free to live your independent life – with the helping hand that you need.
