Colonial Gardens Gracious Retirement Living

From $3,595/mo

105 Cherry Hill Drive, Beverly, MA, 01915
Independent Living

"In all honesty these people really try but to call it “independent living” is a stretch. Most residents are VERY old with mobility issues. I tried so hard (as did they) not to feel like I was living in a nursing home. With costs of assisted living being much higher families keep their loved ones here even when they need a higher level of care.

I will cheerfully return when the “time comes” but thankfully I am not there yet" - Joan…
