Overview of Grace Morgan House

Grace Morgan House is an assisted living facility in Methuen, MA, providing help with daily living activities while allowing residents to maintain their independence. With 16 beds, it may be a good fit for someone who prefers a smaller setting where the number of residents is limited. The home opened in 1746.

Private and semi-private rooms are available, so a resident can choose an individual room or shared accommodation. Medicaid is accepted, allowing eligible residents to use that coverage toward their care. Residents can take part in group exercises, arts and crafts, entertainment, motivational classes and outings, giving them structured ways to stay active and participate with others.

A salon, patio and dining room are available, along with housekeeping and laundry. Religious services are offered as well. A Walk Score of 58 places the area in the somewhat walkable band, meaning some errands can be done on foot and a resident who no longer drives may be able to complete some outings independently.
