When it comes to assisted living, Massachusetts has plenty to offer.
The most populous state in New England, Massachusetts features a distinctive blend of natural beauty and treasures of U.S. history, making the Bay State an exemplary retirement destination. The Berkshire Mountains in the western region are a convenient getaway for coastal residents around Cape Cod Bay, and the famously upscale islands of Nantucket and Martha’s Vineyard sit just off the state’s southern shores. As one of the country’s original Thirteen Colonies, Massachusetts is rich with early American historic sites like Plymouth and Salem. Within Boston there’s the timeless North End neighborhood, along with popular tourist spots like the USS Constitution and the Boston Tea Party Ships and Museum.
Currently, A Place for Mom partners with more than 240 senior living facilities in Massachusetts that provide assisted living.
The median monthly cost of assisted living in Massachusetts is about $5,600.

Thirwood Place is very nice, and the staff members are all quite friendly. Compared to the previous community I was at the food here would be a 10, its still not that home cooked food but overall pretty good. They do have some activities, but I wish they had more meet and greet stuff so I could get to know the other residents more. They do have painting and wine nights which is helpful. I have a lovely two-bedroom apartment with a full kitchen, washer and dryer a bath and a half and a nice deck.
Read moreThere are an excellent option for senior living. We have had such a great experience. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend them. Everything is top notch.
Read moreWe had a great experience with the general manager, who first interviewed us and was extremely nice. I think because of Covid, it was different than it would have been normally. My loved one was one of the youngest people there, and he wasn't particularly happy because of that. But he had a nice room of his own, his own bathroom, and a kitchen area. It was very clean. They would come in once a week to clean the residents' rooms. He was just unhappy because everyone was so much older than he was. He didn't care for the food, which didn't have much salt in it as it was geared toward elderly people with blood pressure issues. To me, it looked appetizing, and the menu choices looked good. There were not many activities due to Covid, although they had things like bingo. But they had stopped the outings and excursions. I thought it was quite expensive, especially when you consider extras for different a la carte care options - medication assistance, depends, showering, etc. But I don't know what other places are charging.
