An absolutely wonderful place with an incredible staff who demonstrates caring and compassion on a daily basis. I love the home-y feeling the second you walk through the door. I also really enjoy seeing the residents all being involved in activities throughout the day. It’s truly a blessing to be able to work with some of the residents who reside here.

New Horizons is a special place. The warm family environment is obvious from your first visit. They provide both independent and assisted living options. The staff is exceptional. We feel so grateful to have found such a special place for our mom to call home.

I think the whole history and structure of New Horizons as a nonprofit entity of the Cummings Foundation lets it shine in a way that is very unique. It may not have some of the flashier offerings of newer facilities, but it has a warm, intimate feeling, with many long time employees and a wonderful management staff that really care and enjoy their work. It is most assuredly not sterile and corporate-feeling, and my mother-in-law has enjoyed New Horizons for 7 years.

We can't say enough great things about New Horizons at Choate. My 98-year-old mother-in-law moved in this Fall and the facility, programs and especially the staff couldn't be nicer. They make everyone feel special and taken care of - even the families of the residents. Christine runs a superb organization - you can tell her warm and attentive style has left its mark on everyone there.

New Horizons Woburn is unlike any senior living community I have seen. We looked at many in the area and none of them are like this. The others seemed cold and impersonal, with high employee turnover as we discovered. New Horizons has a positive “word of mouth” buzz to it and deservedly so. When you enter this place, you will immediately get it – it just feels right. First off, it’s not run by a private equity firm, like most of the others. New Horizons is a non-profit, owned by the Cummings Foundation. Bill Cummings, the impressive founder of Cummings Properties (and the Cummings Foundation,) lives nearby and visits frequently. The New Horizons staff, led by Christine Coakley, Executive Director (30 years there) Barbra Graham, Assoc Executive Director (14 years there) as well as Vanessa, are very warm and caring people. They have done a great job creating a community culture where the staff knows everyone’s names, makes residents feel welcome and offers plenty of fun activities for everyone to take part in each day. There is an onsite maintenance team there who work to keep the place in tip top shape. Also the food is great and its three meals a day included in the price, not the two meals a day at most competitors. Many of the staff have been at New Horizons for decades which is amazing. I feel good knowing my mom is in a place that cares about it’s residents. Mom (and our family) feels so fortunate we found New Horizons Choate!
