5 Reasons to Nest in Shrewsbury, Massachusetts

January 17, 2014 by Southgate at Shrewsbury

Shrewsbury Massachusetts is a gem of Central Massachusetts. Sure, one could argue that Southgate at Shrewsbury may be a little bias—after all, we’re celebrating 25 years as a proud member of the Shrewsbury community this year!—but, on close examination there are several strong, objective reasons why Shrewsbury is a great place to live.

For starters, Shrewsbury is a hop, skip and a jump away from Worcester, the hub of Central Massachusetts and home to many well-respected cultural attractions, including the Hanover Theater, Mechanics Hall and Tuckerman Hall, the home of the Massachusetts Symphony Orchestra. In addition, Worcester is home to many well-known colleges and universities, as well as innovative medical facilities.

It’s also a short drive—about 45 minutes—from other major cosmopolitan cities, namely Boston and Providence. Getting to the quaint New England shorelines of Rhode Island, parts of Cape Cod, Massachusetts’ North and Shore Shores requires a relatively short drive, too.

Shrewsbury is a hub of activity itself, with a diverse array of commercial businesses, including many great local restaurants, historical sites, such as the Gen. Artemis Ward House Museum, which is managed by the President and Fellows of Harvard College. Also, it’s a town where residents take pride in ownership. Take a stroll down the tree-lined Colonial Main Street and this is clearly evident.

Recently, Shrewsbury was named a “Best Place to Live” by Money Magazine. The town, which ranked an impressive #15 on the annual list, also recently received accolades from GoLocal.com, which announced that Shrewsbury was a top 3 contender for the“50 Best Cities + Towns For Doing Business in Central MA.”

Oh—and one more great reason to “nest” in Shrewsbury—as we mentioned before, it’s the home of Southgate at Shrewsbury, the premier destination for senior living in Massachusetts. Whether you’re from Central Massachusetts or you’re a snowbird from Florida looking for a place in New England to call home, Southgate at Shrewsbury offers flexible, maintenance-free housing options with an impressive array of cultural, entertaining and intellectual activities, dining options and fitness offerings to satisfy the most discerning and sophisticated of our residents’ tastes.

Could Your Life Use a Little More Balance?

January 10, 2014 by Southgate at Shrewsbury

Sure, whose couldn’t! At Southgate at Shrewsbury we offer balance classes designed to give our residents the chance to improve their core strength, help clear their minds and rejuvenate their spirits.

Balance classes can be of great benefit to people of all ages, including seniors, because they aid in posture, in addition to keeping the mind/body spirit in check. Also, balance classes give the body’s core a gentle workout to boost muscle strength.

Another wonderful thing about balance classes is that they don’t have to take a lot of time to achieve favorable results. In as little as 10 minutes to a half-hour a couple of days a week, you can work toward a better you—so you’ll feel more focused and balanced in mind and body.

It’s important to note, too, that having good balance is a key to reducing one’s risk of falling, which can result in decreased mobility and injury.

Here at Southgate at Shrewsbury, in addition to balance classes, residents enjoy a wide array of healthful activities, including seated exercise classes and walks. There are just a few of the planned activities available to our residents on a regular basis. Our January 2014 is chock full of many fitness-focused classes, as well as other entertaining, fun, and intellectually stimulating talks and trips to help residents focus on that all-important goal of striking a happy balance in all they do.

Check out our January 2014 events calendar year for a closer look. And, if you have any questions we can answer about our balance classes or other activities, please feel free to contact us here or by calling 800.492-8331.
