Standish Village Assisted Living & Compass Memory Support Community

Hi Fabiola, we are hiring for Resident Care Associates / CNAs. You can view all open positions at www.StandishVillage.com/careers.

We do not accept MassHealth (medicaid insurance). However, we DO accept another special insurance program that helps offset the monthly cost, and we can help you access it. Call us for details! We also accept the Veteran's Aid & Attendance benefit for veterans and their surviving spouses, which can provide over $1,000/month. If you are eligible for this government benefit, we will put you in touch with a consultant that can help you with all the paperwork, for free. Some people opt to share an apartment with a roommate and that also brings the cost down. Finally, If you have long-term care insurance you can use that toward your rent. Give us a call to learn more!

Great question! Many of our communities do offer a PCA training program to provide caregivers with the requirements and skills to work within Assisted Living. This is a 54-hour training program (paid) in addition to our standard training. We do offer this training at various times throughout the year, so if you are interested in that program, we would love to hear about your interest and let you know when it will be scheduled. Simply give us a call.

Yes. We are highly respected throughout the Boston area and the South Shore for our dementia care. Our staff is highly trained, and many of them are Certified Dementia Practitioners. Our community has a Compass Memory Support Neighborhood within our building. It’s a separate, secure, intimate neighborhood with 13 private and shared apartments with a lovely dining room and some common area spaces, as well as an outdoor patio. We are very active in the local area providing education on dementia through our Dementia Friendly Communities Initiative. We also host a monthly Support Group for families, and we support Memory Cafes in Milton and Quincy. If you are feeling like you could use some support, visit our website to get details about these really awesome local resources.

People love our apartments! Because we are located in a renovated historic mill building, our ceilings are very tall and our windows are VERY large which makes every apartment feel spacious. All of our upper-floor apartments have really nice city views of church steeples, the famous Baker Chocolate Factory and tree tops along the Neponset River. We have a wide variety of unique layouts available, more than the typical assisted living community. Also not typical are our very large two bedroom apartments. In fact all of our apartments are very spacious, among the largest in the area. Come in and take a look for yourself!

Thank you for your interest in Standish Village! Assisted Living regulations in Massachusetts outline that our associates may assist in setting up ancillary services for residents to receive assistance with the administration of insulin but that our staff are unable to provide this service themselves. We can absolutely recommend that residents work with their physicians to see if oral medications would be effective to manage their diabetes. Also, if the resident is able to self administer their own insulin through reminders and cues, the resident may be appropriate to participate in the Self Administered Medication Management program.
