Overview of The Enclave of Franklin Assisted Living & Memory Care Community

Twelve years into operation, The Enclave of Franklin runs three care tracks out of a single two-story building on King Street: assisted living, independent living, and memory care. At 81 beds, it’s a mid-size community by Massachusetts standards, starting at $6,045 per month.

The memory care side operates under its own named program, Lilac Trace Memory Care. That kind of structural separation tends to matter for families navigating cognitive decline, where environment and staffing continuity carry real weight. Respite care is offered as well, which gives families short-term options before committing to a longer placement.

On the care side, licensed nurses and CNAs are on staff, and rehabilitation services are available on-site. The setup works for residents managing recovery or ongoing daily support needs without requiring a nursing home level of care. The building is not co-located with a nursing home, which is worth knowing when thinking about the care progression.

Meals come out of a kitchen, not a warming cart. The dining program is chef-prepared from scratch and served restaurant-style, with menus shaped around individual wellness plans. A spa, garden, and scheduled activity programming round out the lifestyle offering, along with housekeeping, laundry, and transportation.

Franklin is car-dependent territory, with a Walk Score of 18, so visiting family should expect to drive. Studios and one-bedroom units are available. This is a community oriented toward residents who want structured daily support and access to a dedicated memory care program within a compact, standalone setting.

Does Massachusetts Medicaid cover assisted living?

Massachusetts Medicaid does not directly pay room-and-board for assisted living, but most states (including Massachusetts) offer Home and Community-Based Services (HCBS) waivers that can offset the cost of care services delivered inside a licensed community. Eligibility, waitlists, and covered services vary — check directly with the state Medicaid agency.
