The Cambridge Homes stands as a longstanding senior living community with a rich history that spans more than a century. Established in 1887, it has operated as a trusted not-for-profit organization dedicated to serving the needs of local seniors. Set within a charming, historic Georgian-style building, the residence’s unique character is defined by carefully preserved and replicated architectural details such as grand fireplaces and intricately paneled woodwork. Antiques and fine art adorn the interiors, contributing to the gracious ambiance of the community.
Offering just 44 apartments for both independent and assisted living, The Cambridge Homes maintains an intimate and relaxed atmosphere where residents can enjoy a strong sense of community. Located within easy reach of city life, the residence is situated near the heart of Cambridge, allowing residents to benefit from urban amenities while enjoying the security, companionship, and personalized services that the community provides. The building’s surroundings and historic features make it ideal for those who value both city living and a peaceful, supportive environment.
A wide variety of stimulating programs are available, focusing on cultural, educational, wellness, and social enrichment. The Active Friends’ Committee plays an important role in organizing activities that promote engagement, such as play-reading sessions, monthly teas, and wine and cheese socials. These initiatives foster an active lifestyle and help residents stay connected to the larger Cambridge community.
The Cambridge Homes is especially mindful of creating a welcoming and inclusive environment for all its residents. Through participation in SAGECare’s LGBTQ training program, the staff have received specialized education in supporting the unique needs and identities of LGBTQ community members. This commitment ensures that everyone who joins the community feels valued and respected.
In keeping with its charitable roots, The Cambridge Homes maintains an endowment fund to provide financial assistance to residents who may need support, upholding its foundational mission of care and service. The governance structure includes a dedicated board of directors and incorporators who guide the organization and ensure its continued focus on high-quality service and residential well-being. The Cambridge Homes remains a signature residence in the Cambridge area, dedicated to fostering independence, dignity, and a vibrant community life for seniors.
