Standish Village offers seniors a secure, supportive and independent lifestyle, offering independent living, assisted living, and specialized memory support for those with Alzheimer's and Dementia. The community features 85 lovely rental apartments, comfortable community rooms, and a pleasant courtyard and roof deck.
Supportive services, including housekeeping, gracious dining, assistance managing medications and personal care, free residents so that they are able to enjoy the company of new friends and a vibrant program of social, cultural enrichment and wellness activities.
Overlooking the Neponset River, Standish Village is housed in a registered historic landmark, a restored distinctive mill building in the heart of the historic Lower Mills neighborhood on the Dorchester-Milton line. Other mill buildings clustered along the Neponset River, including the well-known Baker Chocolate Factory, have also been restored. The neighborhood now includes a variety of retail shops and condominiums. Residents enjoy, within walking distance, an array of dining, shopping and banking services.
