Mason Wright

Mason Wright sits at 74 Walnut Street in Springfield, Massachusetts, and goes back more than 100 years, which means there's a lot of history and many stories within its walls, and nowadays The Arbors runs the place and keeps things organized, with a staff that looks after the safety and comfort of seniors, and Mason Wright offers several living options, so there's independent living for people who like their freedom but want some support, assisted living for folks who might need more help day-to-day, and assisted memory care for those dealing with memory issues like confusion or forgetfulness, and you see, there are simple apartments-either studios or one-bedrooms-all with private baths, which makes it easier for seniors to manage on their own but still have everything close by. Residents find plenty of places to spend time, like the Community Living Room where activities happen every day, or the library for quiet reading, and Smith's Billiards' Lounge where anyone can join a game of pool, and there's the dining room plus the Route 66 Diner, which is a nice spot to eat and chat with others, while if someone wants to look their best, the beauty salon is on-site, and there's also a private dining area for special occasions. For those interested in crafts or watching movies, the Court Square activity room takes its name from the old Springfield theater and usually has puzzles, crafts, and films going on, and something folks seem to enjoy is the Bright Futures early learning center, because it brings children and seniors together for crafts or music, which feels good for everyone. Every day, Mason Wright makes sure help is close, so you've got housekeeping, health management, maintenance, meals, and rides to appointments, not to mention 24-hour staff and a Health & Wellness Department, and they've got activities like bingo and billiards, musical events, shopping trips, and even outings, all put together by the Life Enrichment team, so people usually find something to do if they want company. The place tries to support seniors' dignity and independence, whether someone just needs a bit of help or more care, and as a donor-supported foundation, Mason Wright keeps its focus on providing quality housing and a safe place for seniors to live, with services adjusted as needs change.
