Summer Place: Independence with Support for a Vibrant Senior Lifestyle

Few places have the same charm as Chelmsford. With its ties to Canada Dry Ginger Ale and easy access to Boston's big-city adventures, this town is a unique choice for retirement.
At Summer Place, we celebrate the qualities of Chelmsford by ensuring each resident has the chance to live a vibrant lifestyle.
To help make your decision to join our senior community, we've put together a guide that highlights our core mission of making your retirement the best it can be. Keep reading to learn more about how our Chelmsford community can make a difference in how you thrive!
Flexible Support
A frequent fear seniors have when joining a retirement community is the loss of autonomy. The idea of having independence needlessly taken away can drive seniors to avoid communities altogether, even to their detriment.
Summer Place strives to provide a better balance between providing support to keep residents safe and healthy, and ensuring residents maintain control over their lives.
We want to empower our residents and encourage them to make daily decisions and lifestyle choices so that they keep their independence. Our staff varies the amount of support given to each resident, depending on their needs and desires.
When you join our Chelmsford community, we'll work with you to find the correct balance that supports your lifestyle without hindering it.
Maintenance and Housekeeping Services
Are you tired of spending time and energy doing chores? Do you hate laundry day and try to put it off as long as possible?
Summer Place's variety of services can assist you with these chores so you can do more interesting things with your day.
Our staff will already take care of the common area rooms, but we can assist you with cleaning and maintaining your apartment as well. We can also keep up with laundry and medication management.
Make sure to keep the staff updated whenever you decide that you want to tackle the chores yourself.
Homestyle Meals
Another aspect of independent living with support is the ease with which you can meet your nutritional requirements. Our chef team will provide you with full meals three times a day, so you don't have to worry about coming up with a meal plan.
The chefs make sure to give special attention to each meal and work to create foods that make you feel at home. You'll get to enjoy every meal without any of the hassle, all while feeling reassured that each meal is full of the nutrition you need to stay healthy.
Active Aging Agenda
Keeping an active senior lifestyle in Chelmsford can sound intimidating at first, but it's a lot easier to achieve if you join the right senior community.
At Summer Place, we make sure to host a variety of different activities and events so you always have something available to fill your day. We offer a lot of different activities that boost physical and mental well-being, so there are benefits in participating whenever possible.
There are no requirements to join in, so you'll always maintain the freedom to do something outside of the community's activity calendar.
However, we always want to encourage residents to join the events as much as possible. To achieve that goal, we offer a wide range of activities, including:
- Gentle physical workouts
- Craft projects
- Art projects
- Movie nights
- Bingo
- Card games
- Dancing
Variety of Floor Plans
It's almost impossible to feel at home in an apartment that doesn't suit you. You can make it work, but why force a triangle to fit into a square?
We want our residents in the Summer Place community to have as much say over their housing options as possible. That's why we offer many apartment styles, sizes, and configurations.
The smallest of details can make the biggest difference in how comfortable you feel. We try to accommodate each resident so that they can feel at home without the need to 'make it work'.
If it's in our power to fix a problem for you, we will do our best to do it.
Learning Opportunities
A senior community can open many avenues for learning. You could learn a new craft during a community class or learn more about a different culture from another resident.
We'll keep your thirst for learning satisfied by offering lessons and hands-on experiences.
Social Gatherings and Outings
No community can feel whole without events that help people build relationships and connections with one another. We don't want our community to feel like a group of individuals living in one area.
Instead, we work hard to bring many social opportunities into the community, which can include things such as:
- Socials
- Happy hour
- Spiritual sermons
- Restaurant-style dining
These social events can be all it takes to strike up a conversation with someone new or to continue learning about a newly made friend. These kinds of activities are some of the most anticipated on the Summer Place calendar and do wonders in making our community feel like a cohesive whole.
Welcoming Staff
While the residents are the heart of Summer Place, the staff is the backbone. They're experts in supportive senior living and have a passion for our thriving Chelmsford community.
They'll work with you to make sure you feel comfortable and have no problem adapting if you decide you need more support during your retirement. Keep them informed of your needs, and everyone will have a wonderful community experience.
