How Waterstone Helps Couples with Different Health Needs

When we marry, we make a promise to stay with our spouse in sickness and in health, for better or for worse. That promise shouldn’t have to go out the door when one person in a couple has health issues and requires more assistance than their active, independent spouse. “Loving couples who care about each other don’t want to be separated, especially in their senior years,” Kristine Tilton, Executive Director of Waterstone at Wellesley. “A senior living community like Waterstone at Wellesley is

No matter whether we’re young or old, we all want particular things out of life. Love, companionship, security, happiness … and, of course, independence.

Winter Wellness – Avoiding the Seasonal Blues
