The Residence at Boylston Place
Assisted Living, Independent Living, Memory Care & Respite Care · Chestnut Hill, MA
The Residence at Boylston Place has been open at 615 Heath Street in Chestnut Hill, Massachusetts since 2000. Twenty-six years in the same building, offering assisted living, independent living, and respite care across 99 beds. The building is mid-rise, with studio, one-bedroom, and two-bedroom layouts.
Walkability stands out at The Residence at Boylston Place and its surrounding neighborhood. The Walk Score hits 78, very walkable, so a lot of daily errands don’t need a car at all. That’s not typical for a community this size, and its a gret boon for more mobility challenged seniors, as well as any visiting family.
There’s also a nursing home co-located on the same campus, which matters more than it might sound. It means a resident who eventually needs a higher level of care doesn’t have to leave the area they already know to get it.
Between assisted living and independent living, residents have room to shift support levels without relocating, and respite care covers families who need a short-term stay rather than a permanent one.
What this adds up to is a well-established, walkable Chestnut Hill community built for flexibility, offering more than one level of senior living in the same place, with a nursing home nearby for whatever comes next.
