Nestled in the heart of the Historic District on the hilltop just above downtown Ayer, less than 10 miles from Westford, Nashoba Park offers service-enriched Assisted Living for the area’s seniors. Residents have their choice of private studio and one-bedroom apartments and enjoy a variety of beautifully furnished community areas including a Sunroom, Country Kitchen and spacious landscaped courtyard and patio.

Nashoba Park has spent nearly 15 years developing relationships with seniors in the Westford area including working with the senior center and J. V. Fletcher Library to bring them educational presentations and speakers on a wide range of topics. Our residents also love visiting local places of interest for programming including The Butterfly Place, and Kimball Farm, and enjoy regular visits from students at Nashoba Valley Technical High School as part of our intergenerational programming.

Access to Outdoor Spaces is Good for Your Health

Now more than ever, it’s important for seniors to get outside and socialize safely with friends. Nashoba Park offers residents 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 a major focus of our programming because we know it has a host of health benefits:

• Getting outside improves sleep, mood and energy
• Taking a break in nature can improve memory and cognitive function
• Spending time among trees and plants can boost your immune system by lowering the cortisol stress hormone, pulse rate and blood pressure
• Just 10 to 20 minutes a day of exposure to sunlight boosts vitamin D which can protect against osteoporosis, several cancers and heart disease
