Forestdale Park Senior Living

Forestdale Park, located at the site of Malden’s former McFadden Manor, opened its doors in 2018 as the newest Volunteers of America Massachusetts Senior Residence.

The community features Independent Living apartments, and studio and one bedroom Assisted Living apartments that feature our EnrichedLIFE programming. Forestdale Park also accommodates 23 seniors in their state-of-the-art Compass Memory Support Neighborhood® which specializes in holistically treating the symptoms of memory loss including Alzheimer’s disease and related dementia.

The community is professionally managed by Senior Living Residences of Braintree, a trusted name in senior housing and care with families and eldercare professionals for over 25 years.

Enriching Programs: Each Day Brings a New Adventure

At Forestdale Park, we know the desire to learn does not go away with age. That’s why we treat each day as an opportunity to learn something new by offering a wide array of programs meant to keep residents active and engaged throughout morning, noon and night. If you visit our community, you may see adult education lectures in the Creative Arts Center, Brain Healthy Cooking demonstrations in the Bistro, or a musical performance in the Piano Lounge. Our EnrichedLIFE programs are tailored around our residents’ hobbies and interests, allowing residents to continue doing what you enjoy or to try something new!

Forestdale’s Award-Winning Dining Inspired by the Mediterranean

We have lovingly created our Brain Healthy Cooking program with the idea that eating well and staying active is beneficial at any age. As part of this program, we offer three restaurant-style meals daily that incorporate ingredients traditionally favored in Mediterranean regions. Closely following the Mediterranean diet has been shown to have a strong correlation with positive outcomes such as reduced inflammation, regulated blood sugar, heart health and even delayed symptoms of Alzheimer’s disease.
