Cadbury Commons Assisted Living

About

Cadbury Commons is a family-owned senior living community in Cambridge that offers independent living, assisted living and memory care. Independent living frees active older adults from the burdens of home ownership, while assisted living helps people keep as much independence as possible with support nearby. The Morningside Program serves residents with dementia and Alzheimer’s disease, and residents have a say in the community’s decision-making.

The community opened in September 1996, carrying out the vision of founder Charles Kelley, who began in the nursing home industry, built Braintree Rehabilitation Hospital and became a leader in the Massachusetts assisted living movement. He died in 1995 after breaking ground, and his children finished the project. His daughter Anne Noone, RN, ran it for many years, and her sister Elinore Barrett now serves as president.
