Serving Seniors from Dorchester, Milton, Quincy and the South Shore
Standish Village is a go-to community for many families located on the South Shore of Massachusetts, in towns like Milton, Quincy, Randolph, Weymouth and Hingham. One family shared: “I had to move my mother on fairly short notice. I searched all over the South Shore and found Standish Village. The initial tour was impressive. The staff always greets you by name and the common areas are immaculate. After move in, the staff has addressed issues and requests quickly and without delay.”
Seniors who grew up on the south shore love how close our assisted living community is to attractions in Milton, Quincy, Braintree and beyond. We are nestled in Dorchester’s Lower Mills neighborhood, so families come to us when looking for assisted living in Quincy, memory care in Milton, and so on.
