The Arbors at Stoneham

The Arbors at Stoneham is a senior living community offering independent living, assisted living and memory care in a family-oriented setting. It has 58 traditional residences and 26 memory support apartments, and staff help with bathing, dressing and medication management while encouraging residents to do as much for themselves as possible. The building features a grand foyer with cathedral ceilings, and doctors, pharmacies, shopping and dining are close by in town.

Dining reflects the community’s strong Italian presence, with homemade Italian meals, soups, breads and comfort foods from chef Charlotte, a Medford native with more than 25 years of culinary experience who works residents’ favorite dishes into the menu. The activity calendar includes weekly shopping trips, visits from Harvard Therapy Alpacas, casino outings, seasonal trips to Apple Crest Hill Farms, and local history lectures on topics such as Revere Beach and Salem at Halloween.
