It has been a year since renovations began on the Cambridge, a former 1855 Renaissance Hotel that has been converted into an assisted living facility.<\/p>\n

The Cambridge officially opened for business at 4 West Main St., Cambridge in February and is filling up quickly.<\/p>\n

Kristen Batchelder chief operating officer of ICC Management & Consulting, which operates the facility, said they purchased the property in 2014. They also own the Mansion at South Union Street in Cambridge. The Mansion is a Medicaid-funded assisted living residence, while The Cambridge is private.<\/p>\n

Batchelder said they worked with BBL Construction on the project and they worked hard to preserve the character of the building.<\/p>\n

“We aimed to really make changes that still honored the time period and character of the building. We wanted it to be beautiful and comfortable at the same time for our residents,” said Batchelder.<\/p>\n

Batchelder said they chose the property for their second assisted living location because of its position in the downtown area. She said they were confident in the need for an additional facility because of the interest in The Mansion.<\/p>\n

“Residents at The Mansion really enjoy being able to walk downtown, and have that independence. We wanted to be able to give The Cambridge residents those same options,” said Batchelder.
\nThe Cambridge has one- and two-bedroom options along with common living areas. The first floor includes a parlor, a television room, dining room, activity room, kitchen and office space. It will also have a beauty parlor in the near future.<\/p>\n

The goal, said Batchelder, is promote socialization and encourage the residents to take advantage of the amenities, as well as the staff and services available.<\/p>\n

The Cambridge employs just under 20 people including case managers, an activities director, facilities director, housekeeping staff, nurses, personal care aides, chefs and a concierge. Amenities include laundry, personal care services, transportation, entertainment, meals and snacks, and housekeeping.<\/p>\n

The lounge, featuring game tables, a flat screen television, fireplace, lounge areas and a bar, offering coffee and snacks daily, and a happy hour on Friday evenings<\/p>\n

The activities room is home to many planned activities such as exercise class, cooking demonstrations, painting, crafts, poetry readings, bible studies, book clubs, games and more<\/p>\n

Transportation to physician appointments, social outings, church services and more. Case management services include communication and coordination with physicians, pharmacies, family members and other health care providers<\/p>\n

A large 3,500-pound-capacity elevator, spans all three floors.<\/p>\n

Batchelder said meals are very important not only for nutrition, but socialization as well. The dining room serves a choice of three meals, including breakfast made to order. She said the ultimate goal is to be a community with staff and residents working together to form a family environment.<\/p>\n

“We want them to feel at home,” said Batchelder.<\/p>\n

The monthly cost at The Cambridge is $2,500 to $3,250, and is all-inclusive. They have 35 rooms and currently 40 residents. There is a waiting list, but visits are encouraged as circumstances change and rooms open up. They can be reached at 213-5175 for further information.<\/p>\n
