In our search for an assisted living community for my mother, we have found Nashoba Park to be an exceptional place. The management staff has set high standards for the quality of care, services and accommodations. The RCA's and nursing staff are caring and compassionate people. I have seen firsthand the kindness and patience they have shown to my mother, as she requires a higher level of care and assistance. If there is an issue, the staff is quick to address it. Her studio apartment is spacious, clean and overlooks a beautiful courtyard. The multiple community areas are lovely and kept tidy and clean as well. The food is excellent with a good selection of tasty and healthy meals, and the dining staff is always accommodating. There is a good variety of daily activities too. My mom especially enjoys the family and friends parties put on by the staff. We all have a great time together. When my mother was transitioning into her new home there, it was wonderful to see the residents being so friendly and helpful to her. Our family has peace of mind to know my mother is safe, well cared for, and enjoying her new "extended family" at Nashoba Park.

I am a current resident at Nashoba Park. Staff assists in my daily schedule plus was able to arrange a larger room for me. Nursing staff goes above and beyond helping figuring out issues as they arise.

So my father moved here in May 2025.. decent place.. nursing staff was great.. but anyone moving their loved one in here, n Ed’s to know this!! My father passed away on September 11, 2025.. As imagined it was a horrible time for myself and my family.. My father had prepaid for the entire month for f September (he left the facility on September 5th, and passed away in an ICU on September 11th).. my head was spinning as I lost my Dad.. I reached out to Julie at Nashoba park, she told me to send 30 day notice letter (even though my dad had passed) I assumed that him paying for 26 days of not being there was enough.. we talked about potential refunds.. only to get phone calls from collection agency 60 days after my dads passing.. Haley at Nashoba park reached out one time to me about a bill, and I explained that Julie spoke of potential refund.. Nashoba park never even mailed or emailed me a bill.. they just sent it straight to a collection agency.. As a 46 year old mother of two teenage kids.. morning the loss of a close family member.. trust me this is the last thing you want to deal with… we were eventually charged full services through October 12th (sadly I agreed to have everything out by September 30th, so maintenance could update the room prior to re renting it… just beware Julie is super nice when she wants to take your money, and in the end she takes even more.. lastly nursing staff.. especially Bernard were amazing
