How much does Evans Park at Newton Corner cost per month?

Massachusetts does not publish prices for individual residences, so ask Evans Park at Newton Corner 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.

What should you ask when touring Evans Park at Newton Corner?

Ask Evans Park at Newton Corner for its latest compliance review outcome first, then cover overnight staffing, the full fee schedule, and which care needs would force a move.

• What is the full monthly fee for my parent's care level, and what triggers an increase?
• 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?
• Do you accept MassHealth Group Adult Foster Care (GAFC) or Senior Care Options (SCO) for care services?
• How do you handle a hospital discharge back to the residence?

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 Evans Park at Newton Corner work?

Moving into Evans Park at Newton Corner starts with a pre-admission screening and a written assessment of your parent's needs, which the residence uses to build an individual service plan before move-in day.

• 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 Evans Park at Newton Corner's 23-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.

If Evans Park at Newton Corner has no opening, ask to join its waitlist and keep touring — availability at large Greater Boston residences changes month to month.
