Putnam Farm at Danvers
4.9

Staff is really nice. They look out for my mother. Like if she misses a meal, they check in on her. Oh the appt transportation is a pain. It's only available 2 days a week half day. Have to get approval ahead of time. And the they drive you but do not assist into building. When it's a large medical bldg this is difficult for someone in a wheelchair.

Our experience with this community was good, overall it is kept pretty clean. The care services are pretty reliable, the activities were however a little bit weaker. The food at this community was very good, and we really liked the responsiveness of the staff and the availability the memory care unit had

What is independent living?

Independent living offers a stress-free lifestyle for older adults. Independent living communities don’t provide personal care or supervision, but do offer generally healthy adults opportunities for socialization and hassle-free living. Independent living services often include:

  • Nutritious meals and snacks
  • Housekeeping
  • Laundry
  • Home maintenance and repairs
  • Social activities and outings
Complete guide to independent living

North Billerica, Massachusetts

Independent Living

Independent Living Communities provide seniors with a nice harmony between an opportunity to live an independent lifestyle and not having to concern themselves with the basic tasks of housekeeping and responsibilities. Food preparation, recreational activities and housekeeping chores are taken care of while you are unencumbered to use your time as you choose. Along with their daily needs being met, residents can enjoy an opportunity to live among peers, surrounded by others of similar age groups and backgrounds. Residents’ quarters consist of private living spaces, each with their own kitchen. The independence of apartment life is still enjoyed, offering an opportunity to entertain guests and visitors in a private and personal setting. While policies vary between communities, a number of residences allow cats and dogs as well. Nursing and health care services may always be arranged for with private care providers if desired. There are a number of advantages and costs to balance when selecting an independent living community. It is important to determine if these services are included in the plan: private phone, transportation, parking, Waiting list deposit, wellness program, housekeeping, laundry, and cable TV. The benefits and amenities that pertain to independent living include game/TV room, golf course, private rental hall, concierge services, laundry service, beauty salon & barber shop, security guards, and restaurant-style dining hall.
