About New Horizons At Choate

New Horizons at Choate is a private, not-for-profit, non-denominational independent and assisted living retirement community located on the historic site of the former Charles Choate Memorial Hospital, in a lovely residential neighborhood near Horn Pond in Woburn. Beautiful, private accommodations, utilities, three dining room meals daily, light housekeeping, substantial activities program, group transportation, and the nicest of caring environments are all included in one monthly fee. In addition, the attached Choate Medical Center offers a wealth of health care services for residents, without ever having to leave the building! Due to generous ongoing subsidies from Cummings Foundation, our fees are among the lowest in New England, yet our community is among the very best. Enjoy lobster tail, filet mignon, beef wellington, shrimp scampi, lamb chops, and more as regular items on our sumptuous menu! Look around at several communities, and you will most likely find yourself coming back to New Horizons.

This is a wonderful place, but for more independent people.

It is restricted, as to who can apply, you have to live in a particular town or have family in the town. It's subsidized by a family foundation. They had good food. They really aren't set up for assisted living, more independant. They aren't set up to accommodate wheelchairs. The people were friendly.

Really great community

My Dad lived at this location for quite a while, and we feel like it provided really excellent service at a great price, especially considering some of the places we've seen since moving him out. It's a really warm and friendly place, and the nurses were always seem present and attentive. We felt like they really knew him, and that he got a lot of individual attention.
