The Atrium at Faxon Woods
The Atrium at Faxon Woods runs respite care and memory care in Quincy, MA, out of The Highlands at Faxon Woods neighborhood.
Memory care at this facility assists a resident with dementia, and the supervision occurs within a secured environment. Respite operates on an alternate schedule. A family reserves a brief stay, and the resident returns home when the typical caregiver is able to resume. That combination suits an individual requiring dementia assistance and a family that needs temporary relief.
There are 54 beds available in suites and studios, and pets are allowed to stay too. The Walk Score of 46 is car-dependent, and most errands require driving.
Outside, the grounds hold a courtyard, walking paths, and patios with garden beds and gazebos. Inside is a light-filled atrium, along with a beauty salon and barber shop. Activities consist of music, arts, cooking and baking, gardening, and reminiscence programs.
