Award-Winning Dining at Nashoba Park
Our restaurant-style, fine dining experience features menu variety, fresh ingredients sourced locally in-season, and stellar wait service — all led by our own Executive Chef!
At every meal we offer menu choices inspired by the Mediterranean, as part of our award-winning Brain Healthy Cooking Program. The wide variety of “brain healthy foods” we incorporate into delicious recipes are based on the Mediterranean diet and includes fresh vegetables and fruits, whole grains, spices, nuts, olive oil, eggs, lean meats, fish and seafood.
Our Executive Chef uses this versatile program to create healthful variations of our residents’ favorite traditional and regional recipes by substituting natural sweeteners for refined sugar, replacing saturated and trans fats with healthy fats, and using tasty spices to cut back on salt. The Mediterranean diet has been scientifically proven to boost overall brain health and cognitive function by providing the body with potent antioxidants and nutrients with anti-inflammatory properties, essential to brain health. It has also been proven to promote heart health and is great for seniors managing diabetes. But the most important factor, of course, is that it’s delicious! We encourage guests to ask our residents about their favorite dishes.

Our Big, Beautiful Courtyard
Accompanying Nashoba Park’s remarkable indoor spaces are luxurious outdoor areas, including an enclosed outdoor patio and courtyard, which is also a Certified Wildlife Habitat. Building and maintaining a connection with nature is another major focus of our programming. We conduct many outdoor activities, weather permitting, and you will always find residents chatting on the patio, enjoying the soothing sounds from our fountain, or taking a stroll with friends. Our courtyard serves as a popular place for outdoor relaxation, summer barbecues, and community events. Plus, it’s a hub of exploration for residents, especially for those with a “green thumb”!
Short-Term and Trial Stay Options at Nashoba Park
Nashoba Park offers a short-term and trial stay option that includes all the services and amenities available to our permanent residents. This program is perfect for:
- Giving primary caregivers a break: Take time to rest and recharge while our team cares for your loved one. Leave your worries behind as you travel for business, vacation or simply take some much-needed time for self-care.
- Easing the transition after a hospitalization or rehab stay: We provide seniors with additional support after a hospital stay, when they might not be ready to return home just yet. Using respite care in this way can help lower the risk of re-admission as your loved one recovers.
- “Try out” the experience of Assisted Living: Our trial stay program has no minimum length – so your loved one can stay for as short or as long as they like to decide if Nashoba Park is the right fit.
