The Arbors at Stoneham
The Arbors at Stoneham offers assisted living and memory care in Stoneham, MA.

With both assisted living and memory care available, the community can suit a resident whose care needs may grow over time without requiring a move to a different community. The community has 84 beds and offers one-bed and two-bed housing options, with the two-bed layout able to suit two people moving together.
Pets are allowed, so a resident may bring a pet when moving in. The community may be a good fit for someone who needs assisted living support or a secured memory care setting and wants both care levels available in one community.
