Neville Place Assisted Living Facility
Neville Place is located on the hillside overlooking the north shore of Fresh Pond. It offers traditional assisted living and a Special Care Program for seniors with memory loss. Many of the approximately 70 residents in the assisted living area enjoy sitting on the back patio where the Friends group has created and maintains flower and vegetable gardens. Two bird feeders, also maintained by the Friends group, see a constant stream of birds all winter long. Among them are black-capped chickadees, tufted titmice, white-breasted nuthatches, downy woodpeckers, house finches, white-throated sparrows, American tree sparrows, song sparrows, mourning doves, blue jays, house sparrows, and an occasional swooping hawk, looking for a feathered meal.
