"Nice building, but pricing is outrageous. I originally had a love one move into Memory Care in May 2023 at a contracted monthly unit rate of $9,300/month. But then, every 6 months, the price increased based on their “service care levels” which are NOT included in monthly unit rate. By April 2023, the cost had increased to $16,100/month! That’s over $193k per year!! Anyone thinking of moving a loved one into their Memory Care units needs to be aware of these “service care level” costs that they’ll start charging." - Jeff…

The not-for-profit organization was established in 1887 by a group of Cambridge citizens (including Alice Longfellow, the poet’s daughter) to create a residence for elderly men and women. The first “Home” was quickly outgrown and in 1898 our current building was built. It was opened the following year in a ceremony presided over by Charles William Eliot, president of Harvard University. As time passed an infirmary was added, and in 1997 we reopened as an assisted living residence following a complete renovation which modernized our building while preserving its historic charm and original architectural details. Today, we continue to uphold the spirit of The Cambridge Homes’ founding through an active 9-member Board of Directors and 50 Incorporators who are committed to providing a gracious home and top quality services to local seniors. In a continuation of the community’s original charitable purpose, The Cambridge Homes also maintains an endowment fund that is available to residents who need some financial assistance. The Active Friends’ Committee hosts programs including play-reading, monthly teas, and wine and cheese socials which create opportunities for residents to stay connected to the larger Cambridge community.…
