Overview of Colony III

Facebook

Colony III in Worcester, MA, sticks to a single care type, independent living. Every resident gets a private apartment backed by community services, with personal care not part of the mix.

Apartments come as one-bedrooms or two-bedrooms, with appliances included, so size is a real choice. A full activities calendar keeps things scheduled, and pets are permitted. That suits someone after independent living who wants to pick an apartment size and bring a pet.

The neighborhood is Forest Grove, rated very walkable at a Walk Score of 75, and most errands happen on foot. Giving up the car leaves a resident still able to get out on their own. Monthly cost starts at $560.
