The Branches of Marlboro

Yes, we have a bus that is used to take residents to scheduled medical appointments and to group outings, where we explore the local community and enjoy local restaurants, retail stores, attractions, and community events.

Conveniently located next to Marlborough High School, The Branches boasts a unique offering for parent company Benchmark Senior Living, the largest senior living provider in New England.

Artist in Me: Art therapy helps people with memory impairment communicate and express themselves. The need to create is one that continues even after other abilities are lost. Exercise: The physical changes caused by dementia can make exercise a little more challenging. But it’s still an important part of helping seniors with memory impairment live their best quality of life. Your loved one will benefit from daily fitness and wellness programs ranging from chair yoga and gentle stretches to dancing and walking. Outings: Our group outings enable residents to stay connected to the world around them for as long as possible. We routinely schedule outings to area restaurants, attractions, shopping centers, and local events. Recreation: The need to connect and engage with others continues even as dementia progresses. We provide residents with opportunities to do so every day. Residents are encouraged to join in on games, musical programs, movie nights, themed events, and more!

At the Branches of Marlboro, we have a secured memory care neighborhood and courtyard where memory care residents can wonder without being worried about getting lost outside of the building.

Delicious and nutritious food is a very important factor in deciding on the right assisted living community for you or your loved one. You expect to eat well, have the proper assistance when and if needed, and have a rewarding and positive experience each time.

They create delectable meals that combine freshness, quality, and taste so that all of our residents can enjoy. • Three meals a day with a variety of choices each day • Accommodation for those who have special dietary needs, such as a heart-healthy meal plan or a diabetic diet • Our very own Savory Sensation salt substitute to enhance foods without increasing salt intake • Sensory Dining practices to help stimulate appetite and prevent weight loss • Texture Modified Dining where prepared foods are easier to swallow but still look very appetizing
