The Northbridge Companies officially opened the doors to its newest community, Stonebridge at Burlington. The senior living community offers independent living, assisted living and memory care in a building that features some of the most innovative amenities in the senior living industry.
Located at 50 Greenleaf Way, Stonebridge has 110 apartments. As of now, the community is 50% occupied.
Designed by The Architectural Team and built by Callahan Construction, the 96,000 s/f community evokes a tranquil spa-like feeling with warm hues, a large open foyer with a stone fireplace, and an open-air courtyard also with a fireplace. Among the ample amenities are a full-service spa where residents can enjoy manicures, pedicures, facials, hair services and massages. Other amenities include a theater room, an outdoor bocce court, a pub, a library and a "brain gym" (computer lab).
The building includes multiple dining areas and cozy nooks for families to spend time with the residents upon visits. One of the signature gathering points is a Microsoft Surface Table in the café - a 30 inch touchscreen coffee table that is essentially an oversized tablet or iPhone. The table will give residents and families endless options for interacting, sharing photos and videos, playing games and much more.
"We did our market research and designed this community to really respond to what today's seniors want," said Northbridge president Wendy Nowokunski. "They're an active group and they enjoy the same things we do - being pampered at a spa, watching a good movie, Skyping friends and family, playing bocce, having a drink with friends at a pub, gardening, playing Wii, the list goes on and on. We have many children who have come in to visit their parents and say 'wow, I wish I could live here.' This is what we call senior living reimagined."
Stonebridge at Burlington is operated by The Northbridge Companies, an independent company located just down the road in Burlington. Northbridge owns eight assisted living communities throughout New England with plans to open two more in the next year.
