Assisted Living & Independent Living · South Yarmouth, MA

Overview of Thirwood Place

Thirwood Place offers assisted living and independent living in South Yarmouth, MA. Independent living provides private living with community services and no daily care, while assisted living includes help with daily tasks such as bathing, dressing and medication management. Both care levels are available here. That may suit a resident whose needs could grow over time and who may want to remain in the same community.

Thirwood Place has 69 beds and offers one-bedroom and two-bedroom apartments. The larger option may work well for a resident who wants more space or for two people moving together. A $1,000 move-in deposit is required, giving families an upfront amount to include in their moving budget.

Residents can use the indoor pool, hot tub, fitness center, salon, library, billiard room, greenhouse and artist studio for exercise, grooming, reading, recreation and creative activities. Multiple dining options, scheduled activities, landscaped grounds and walking paths provide places to eat, participate and spend time outdoors. Transportation to medical appointments and local shopping helps residents reach those destinations without arranging their own ride. Pets are allowed.
