Dining Options
While many of our residents enjoy whipping up a meal in their own apartment, others like to eat and chat with friends. With our restaurant-style dining, the choice is the resident's to make. Meal times are flexible and dining selections are abundant.
We know it's the little things that give life its flavor. Whether it’s a mid-day cup of coffee or your favorite evening drink, we’re here to help. It’s kind of like having your favorite restaurant right here in your new home.
Fresh
Our highly-trained chefs work with fresh local ingredients to make healthy, nourishing and tasty meals and snacks. In addition to seasonal and anytime meals, we provide dining options that cater to those with conditions like heart disease or diabetes.
Flexible
With rotating menus and our friendly staff, our restaurants are always serving up something great. Whether it’s breakfast, lunch, or dinner, healthy choices are plentiful and we make a point to offer something that appeals to every palate.
Personal
Whether a resident is craving that special dish from their favorite restaurant or wants to order a pizza for visiting grand kids, we're here to help. Additionally, should you or your family member have dietary restrictions, we'll be glad to accommodate them.

Community Life
The Amazing Benefits of Music for Seniors
Music is deeply tied to our memories and emotions. In an instant, a song can bring us back to a specific time in our lives. Or, it can bring us a rush of joy and a lift in mood. Music is powerful and therapeutic, which is why music is such an important part of all our Blue Harbor programming! In this edition of the True Blue blog, learn all about the benefits of music for seniors!
How Seniors Can Benefit from Volunteering
As we reach retirement age, we're often looking for different ways to stay active and involved in our communities. We have more time on our hands and are searching for ways to add new meaning and joy into our lives. Volunteering and giving back is a fantastic way to do just that! Learn more on this edition of the Blue Harbor blog.
Movers and Shakers: Benefits of Exercise for Seniors
Here at Blue Harbor Senior Living, we design our activities program to nurture the mind, body, and soul. Accessible, daily movement is an important part of our programming. From chair yoga to tai chi to walking groups to dance classes, we offer regularly scheduled exercise classes.
Do Social Connections Make Us Healthier?
When you think about health and aging, what do you think of? Many of us think about staying physically active, or about eating wholesome foods. You may also think about different ways to stay sharp, such as trying out new hobbies or playing brain games. However, amidst all the different ways to age well, there's an unsung hero: friendships and social connections.
Transition Comfortably
Bridges™ Program
Some seniors have been diagnosed with memory disorders like Alzheimer's, but severe symptoms might not yet be present. Our unique Bridges Program helps residents acclimate to the community and focus on the activities they can do. As symptoms progress, we'll tailor the activities so their transition is as smooth and comfortable as possible.
This innovative program promotes engagement with a small group of friends in shared activities—like reminiscing, cooking, music appreciation, celebrations, pet therapy and more. Bridges provides a gentle transition into our memory care program: Illuminations.

Finding a new happiness
After the death of my wife Lila, I asked my heavenly father for help in existing without her. He amazingly gave me my dog Cricket and from our home led us to the Courtyards at River Park. I live comfortably, and the staff have made the move and daily life as pleasant as I could have ever imagined.

Choosing Memory Care for Mom
I didn't want my mom to feel like she was going into a nursing home. The staff here is incredibly devoted, and I felt like I wasn't giving my mom a lesser life, I was giving her a better one. She feels cared for and that's what's important.
