Atria Marland Place

Is Atria Marland Place a certified assisted living residence in Massachusetts?

Yes. Atria Marland Place at 15 Stevens Street, Andover, MA 01810 is listed as Certified on the Massachusetts Executive Office of Aging & Independence (AGE) list of certified Assisted Living Residences dated June 25, 2026, and has held certification since August 9, 1996. Massachusetts certifies assisted living residences rather than licensing them, so there is no license number to look up — the state identifies each residence by name and address.

Atria Marland Place is one of the longer-running residences in Essex County: its certification dates to 1996, the first years of the Massachusetts ALR program after the 1994 law that created it.

What did the latest Massachusetts compliance review of Atria Marland Place find?

AGE's most recent posted Compliance Review of Atria Marland Place, conducted July 16, 2026, resulted in a Plan of Correction across 3 lettered finding areas, 2 of them marked as repeat findings from the prior review.

The report's findings covered emergency-call (e-call) response times, the quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) program and on-time reporting of resident incidents to the state.

A Plan of Correction is the standard outcome of a Massachusetts compliance review: the residence answers each finding in writing and AGE grants recertification once the fixes are accepted. It is not a suspension or fine. Nearly every residence with a posted report in Greater Boston received one, so the useful comparison is which areas were cited and whether they repeat.

For context, the median posted report for a Essex County residence lists 4.5 finding areas; Atria Marland Place's latest lists fewer than that.

Does Atria Marland Place offer memory care in Andover?

Yes. Atria Marland Place has a certified Special Care Residence with 38 units — about 27% of its 141 certified units. In Massachusetts, memory care is delivered in a Special Care Residence (SCR) inside a certified ALR; it is not a separate license.

Statewide, the median ALR with an SCR has about 20 SCR units, so Atria Marland Place's 38-unit Special Care Residence is larger than typical.

How much does Atria Marland Place cost per month?

Massachusetts does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask Atria Marland Place for its written fee schedule. Statewide, AGE's 2025 census report puts the median monthly fee range at $4,228–$9,225 for traditional units and $7,218–$10,886 for Special Care units.

Greater Boston generally runs above those statewide medians: this site's cost research puts typical assisted living at $5,800–$8,200/mo in 2026, with Brookline, Newton, Cambridge and the Back Bay at the high end.

Its state profile lists no low-income options, so expect private pay for rent.

MassHealth does not pay assisted living rent. Some residences accept MassHealth Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) or a Senior Care Options (SCO) plan for personal-care services; ask the residence directly, and see our Frail Elder Waiver guide for at-home alternatives.

What should you ask when touring Atria Marland Place?

Start with the areas the state already flagged at Atria Marland Place — emergency-call (e-call) response times, the quality assurance and performance improvement (QAPI) program, on-time reporting of resident incidents to the state — and ask what changed after the review; then cover staffing, fees and move-out triggers.

• What is your average pendant/e-call response time overnight, and can I see last month's response log?
• What has your quality-improvement committee changed in the past year?
• How do you notify families and the state after a fall or other incident, and how fast?
• Which care needs would require a move to a nursing home?
• How long have the executive director and resident care director been in their roles?
• Is a nurse on site every day, and who covers nights and weekends?
• What happens if a resident runs out of private funds?
• Can we visit at mealtime and in the evening without an appointment?

Visit twice — once at a meal — and read the residency agreement before paying a deposit. Massachusetts gives ALR residents specific resident rights, and the Long-Term Care Ombudsman Program can help if problems come up later.

How does moving into Atria Marland Place work?

Before anyone moves into Atria Marland Place, Massachusetts rules require the residence to screen and assess the prospective resident and agree a written service plan with the family.

• Residency agreement and disclosures. The residence must give you its residency agreement and a disclosure of fees, services and discharge terms; take them home and compare them before paying a deposit.
• Special Care Residence admission. Admission to Atria Marland Place's 38-unit Special Care Residence is based on a dementia diagnosis and an assessment that the secured setting is appropriate; ask what criteria would move a resident between its traditional and Special Care units.
• Medication plan. Decide whether your parent will self-administer, receive Self-Administered Medication Management (SAMM) help from aides, or need Limited Medication Administration (LMA) by a nurse — it affects both care and fees.
• Payment. Rent and care are almost always private pay in an ALR; long-term care insurance and VA Aid & Attendance can offset them.

Most moves take two to four weeks once a unit is available; a hospital discharge can compress that to days, which is when a second set of eyes on the agreement helps most.
