Overview of New Horizons at Marlborough

New Horizons at Marlborough offers assisted living, independent living, and memory care in Marlborough, MA. Assisted living provides help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing, and medication while a resident keeps their own apartment; independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care; and memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone at risk of wandering. Having all three care levels in one community can suit a resident whose needs may grow over time, since a move between levels can happen without leaving the community or starting over socially.

Respite care provides a short stay when someone’s usual caregiver needs to travel or recover. The community has 120 beds and opened in 1994, while Medicare is accepted for eligible short term skilled care after a hospital stay rather than long term residence. A doctor is on staff for physician services within the community.

Residents can use the on site pool, salon, health club, and rehabilitation services without arranging those activities or therapy sessions elsewhere. Outdoor walking and planting areas offer ways to spend time outside on the property, and an on site pharmacy supports access to medications. Regular Catholic Mass and weekly Protestant services are available, and pets are allowed, so residents can bring a pet with them.
