Neville Place at Fresh Pond, Assisted Living & Compass Memory Support

Neville Place partners with the Cambridge Health Alliance House Calls Program for onsite nurse practitioner and doctor visits, which take place once a week or by appointment.

Greater Boston Long Term Care Pharmacy provides pharmacy services to residents with monthly medication deliveries, so residents do not have to travel to pick up prescriptions.

Visiting nurse and speech, physical and occupational therapy providers come to the community as needed, and vision, dental and podiatry providers also serve residents. Hospice partners provide onsite palliative, hospice and bereavement support.

When a resident goes to the hospital or rehab, the nursing team communicates with case managers during the discharge process. Residents choose their own healthcare providers and can keep the ones they already see.

The Compass Memory Support Neighborhood serves residents with memory loss through social interventions and programming built around each person's background and routines. The community has received Purple Flag for Dementia accreditation.

Assisted living residents choose a private studio or a one-bedroom apartment with a kitchenette, private bath, large windows and high ceilings. Many apartments overlook Fresh Pond.

Apartments have a walk-in shower with safety grab bars, an emergency alert system, individual thermostat control, a refrigerator-freezer, microwave oven and cooktop.

The Compass Memory Support Neighborhood offers private studios and companion suites, all on the first floor.

Housekeeping and linen services are provided, along with maintenance of the apartment, community and grounds.

Transportation is offered, and the community has visitor parking in a lot next to the building.

Three times each day, residents are served from a varied menu prepared by the community's Executive Chef, who leads a Brain Healthy Cooking program modeled after the Mediterranean diet.

Residents can choose the current special dish or items from an always-available menu, and are encouraged to invite family and friends to dine with them.

EnrichedLIFE programming covers arts and music, fitness, spiritual activities and time in nature, with popular programs including Art Matters, Piano Bar, Forever Fit and yoga classes.

Outings include local spots such as the Harvard Art Museum, and residents join an annual spring restoration of the Fresh Pond habitat with Fresh Pond Rangers and St. Peter School students.

The renovated historic building has dining and living rooms with views toward Fresh Pond, a Country Kitchen opening onto a garden terrace, a formal library, an art room and a card room.

Grounds include expansive lawns, mature woodlands, community gardens and a public walking path around Fresh Pond.

Neville Place is just off the Fresh Pond rotary in Cambridge, accessible by public transportation, with wooded surroundings overlooking Fresh Pond. The grounds were originally designed by landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted.
