The caregivers and staff at Eisenberg Assisted Living have dedicated their careers to providing a home-like environment that is safe and has the highest level of care. It is a necessary and satisfying living option for older adults who want their independence but just need some extra help. As more Massachusetts residents consider ways to age with dignity, assisted living will remain at the top of the list. Older adults want choice and independence, and a residential experience that promotes those values. They are choosing assisted living for very good reasons, and without this option there would be a serious gap in appropriate settings, services and quality of life for older adults. Eisenberg Assisted living is proud to provide this high quality option for seniors in our community.
The hallmark of the Eisenberg Assisted Living experience is flexibility and resident choice, with each community offering different housing styles, customized care and resident services, a variety of educational, social, cultural and fitness programs, and a range of cost structures.

The Eisenberg Assisted Living community creates a caring and safe environment to provide a social experience that enriches the life and wellness of residents, including nutritious meals and assistance with personal care and medication and a robust and interactive calendar of activities and events.
Eisenberg Assisted Living offers the quality of life and personalized services that residents enjoy, and gives peace of mind to the families of those residents. In fact, residents report a high level of satisfaction and safety with regard to their assisted living experience: a 2013 national poll, which included Massachusetts, showed that 93 percent feel satisfied with their community, and 99 percent said they feel safe where they live.

Eisenberg Assisted Living offers specialized services specifically tailored to meet the needs of people with Alzheimer’s disease or other forms of dementia. This special care unit is a separate secured unit located on our third floor. The Keepsake unit has added safety and monitoring (e.g., doors equipped with alarms, special lighting, resident whereabouts checks) and unique physical environments to foster greater independence, such as secure outdoor areas.
The Keepsake unit provides more supervision, structure and cues designed to maximize the abilities of people with living with cognitive impairments. It offers additional staff (e.g., Program Director), specialized staff training, family education programs, and social activities geared to each resident’s abilities and interests. It also offers activities and approaches that are designed to minimize behavior symptoms such as agitation, and maximize the achievements and well-being of residents with memory loss disorders. Keepsake differs in the level of care provided along the continuum of a person’s dementia. Eisenberg’s Keepsake unit is committed to providing care until the person with dementia needs skilled care (nursing home care), whereas others are only staffed and equipped.
