Overview of Providence House Assisted Living

Providence House Assisted Living offers assisted living and memory care in Brighton, Massachusetts. Assisted living includes help with bathing, dressing, and medication while preserving a resident’s personal living space. Memory care provides a secured setting with supervision for someone living with Alzheimer’s disease or another form of dementia who is at risk of wandering.

The community has 102 beds and opened in 2004. Residents can choose studio, companion, or one-bedroom layouts. A studio offers one private space, while a companion layout suits someone who wants a roommate. Pets are allowed, so a resident can bring a pet when moving in.

Respite care supports a short stay when a primary caregiver needs to travel or recover. Short-term rehabilitation serves someone who needs temporary rehabilitation after an illness, injury, or procedure. Monthly activities and a newsletter provide scheduled programming and written community updates. Welch Senior Living owns the community, and Angie M. Gilbert serves as director. The area has a Walk Score of 87 out of 100 and is very walkable, so most errands can be completed on foot and a resident who no longer drives can still get out independently.
