Neville Place at Fresh Pond occupies one of the most distinctive settings in Greater Boston senior living—a wooded campus on the shore of Cambridge's Fresh Pond, designed by iconic landscape architect Frederick Law Olmsted. This Senior Living Residences community in Cambridge, Massachusetts, offers assisted living through the EnrichedLIFE program alongside the Compass Memory Support Neighborhood® for individuals with Alzheimer's disease and other memory conditions.
