Welcome to The Residence at Watertown Square, an assisted living community located in Watertown, Massachusetts. The Residence at Watertown Square also offers other services at this location including independent living and memory care.

The Residence at Watertown Square: A Step Above

Imagine living a casual, worry-free lifestyle that includes a chef to cook five-star meals any time of day, a dedicated activities coordinator to pack days with joy and laughter, and caring staff to help with any tasks that have become difficult. The Residence at Watertown Square offers exactly this — a safe space where seniors can build the type of life that makes them happy. Residents benefit from a dizzying array of daily activities — a typical one might include a tai chi session, a flower arranging workshop, an exciting lecture on the Galapagos, a theater performance, and a happy hour social. But, of course, seniors can always ditch the activities program to do their own thing, too, whether it's enjoying the overstuffed library, getting some sun in the courtyard, or trying out a new hairstyle in the on-site beauty salon. 

Life is just as rich beyond the walls of the community. Residents enjoy hitting the links at Oakley Country Club, seeing the sights at Saltonstall Park, strolling on the Charles River Greenway, or attending concerts and plays at The Dorothy and Charles Mosesian Center for the Arts. The Residence at Watertown Square is also just 30 minutes from downtown Boston, which means access to some of the country's most exciting attractions. 

Live a Chore-Free, Worry-Free Lifestyle at The Residence at Watertown Square

Independent living at The Residence at Watertown Square means an easy, chore-free lifestyle — housekeeping, maintenance, laundry, and meals are all included in the rates for the lovely residences offered here. Seniors who need a little extra help for daily personal care tasks will find discreet, expert care for things like medication, bathing, dressing, grooming, walking, and more. 

The Residence at Watertown Square's renowned Reflections Memory Care program shifts the focus from the disease to the person. This award-winning, non-pharmacological approach is fueled by the Five Principles for Vitality: Continued Learning, Arts & Culture, Physical Fitness, Community Connections, and Wellness & Self-Care. In addition, every staff member is certified by the National Institute for Dementia Education (NIDE). These caring professionals provide individualized attention and lead a wealth of initiatives designed to create joyful life experiences, like the Expressive Arts program, where seniors use art to communicate their desires and feelings when words fail them.

The outside world has noticed — the Reflections Memory Care program became the first senior living program to ever receive the 2022 Hope on the Harbor Award from the Alzheimer's Association.

Residents and their families say:

This community has received numerous positive remarks for its convenience, beautiful units, and well-maintained facilities, with many reviewers especially praising the quality of food and the variety of activities available. The staff is consistently described as friendly, accommodating, and loving, with one reviewer specifically noting the outstanding follow-up and care displayed by the management. The location is highlighted for its urban atmosphere and good access to nearby services such as Dunkin Donuts, CVS, and local restaurants. Additionally, the dining experience is lauded for its flexibility in dining hours and the option to eat at any time desired.
However, some concerns were mentioned, including the lack of on-site medical personnel, which was a drawback for one reviewer. The size of the units seemed to be a point of concern for another, describing them as wonderful but small. Despite these individual criticisms, no specific negative points were mentioned by multiple reviewers, indicating they are not widespread complaints. The community's approach to welcoming new residents, the broad range of activities, and the hands-on, accountable management style were all aspects that contributed to the positive experiences shared by many. The availability of daily activities and outings, as well as the overall cleanliness and newness of the facility, were elements that reviewers found particularly pleasing.
