Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Malden, MA

Overview of Forestdale Park Senior Living

Forestdale Park Senior Living offers assisted living, independent living, memory care, and respite care in Malden, Massachusetts. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks while allowing a resident to maintain a private living space. Independent living offers private living with community services and no daily care, while memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Respite care supports a short stay when a usual caregiver needs to travel or recover.

The community has 77 beds, with studios, one bedroom apartments, and semi private rooms. A studio has one living space, while a one bedroom apartment separates the living and sleeping areas; a semi private room accommodates two residents. The range of care types may suit a resident whose needs change over time and who may be able to remain in the same community. The community opened in 2018 and is operated by Senior Living Residences.

EnrichedLIFE programming serves assisted living residents, while the reconnections program is designed for memory care. Social outings provide organized activities away from the community. Residents also have access to a fitness studio, piano lounge, bistro, library, and landscaped interior courtyard for exercise, meals, leisure, and time outdoors, and pets are allowed. With a Walk Score of 37, the area depends on cars, so most errands require a car or a ride.
