I enjoy living at New Pond and spending time with all the residents and staff. I love that I do not have to shop, cook or clean. I love the ease of life. I like to walk around the delightful campus, participate in the activities of my choice all while enjoying privacy in my beautiful apartment.

The personalized care that is provided for my mother & father at New Pond Village in Walpole MA truly is extended from every staff member in that facility. The better word is actually a community and every staff member from housecleaning, coordinators, dining staff, nurses, personal care attendents and all members of management truly care for my parents. As an adult son who is in the throws of still caring for my own children and now caring for my parents, New Pond Village has given me not just the knowledge that my parents are in a safe place but are actually enjoying their time while giving me piece of mind. I cannot stress the amount of social activities that are offered for my parents and not just at the independent living area but also in the memory care unit.
