Watched a show at the theatre here and enjoyed my experience with the facility. Unlike some of the…read morecommunity theatre venues nearby, this spot had quite a bit of space to sprawl out while waiting for the show to start and during intermission. I like how the hallways were fairly wide and there was furniture to sit down at as well. Parking here isn't too difficult as there are fairly wide spots that go around the whole building and there are multiple entrances into here as well. The bathrooms were also a good size for the number of people that the theatre can seat, so there wasn't much of a line to use them.

The person I needed to talk to was never in and I was always promised a phone call back. I never got a call. Maybe they're short staffed or have turnover? I figured it would be better to go in person to learn more about programs and services at NSCC. I went once by myself. Another time I brought my sister and yet a third time I brought my mother. We walked around the facility in the afternoon. It's nice, clean and spacious. Unfortunately, every time we went to the reception area/desk, we were told that the person we needed to talk to was not in. I gave them my info and was promised a call. I again, never received that call. My family has lived in Northfield for over 55 years. It's unfortunate that we couldn't connect with anyone from the local senior center, in person or over the phone. It would have been nice to have engaged in some sort of programming. Maybe there was something my dad could have enjoyed. He has since passed away.

My sister Sandra moved into Chestnut Square at The Glen in August of 2023. We had done quite a bit…read moreof research and looked at three or four other communities in the region that were nice, but we ultimately chose Chestnut for a variety of reasons. First and foremost were the staff and residents. They were all some of the warmest and friendliest people I've ever met. Not only were they warm and friendly but extremely helpful and very competent, as well as accommodating. The food was excellent, and the entire building was very clean, well-maintained, and quite attractive. There was plenty of programming and amenities both at Chestnut Square, as well as a short walk away in The Glen Town Center. Just across the street is a beautiful natural area with paved paths, a lake, shops, and plenty of places to explore. During her time at Chestnut Square, Sandra made many close friends and even developed a wonderful, close, and fulfilling romantic relationship with another resident who lived down the hall. The most important thing, however, was the dedication the staff had toward the happiness and fulfillment of all the residents. It really showed how happy everyone was in the community. Pretty amazing! When Sandra's health declined and she needed more assistance, Chestnut Square was able to provide additional on-site support through its phenomenal sister affiliate, Partners in Healthcare. The caregivers from Partners treated her and her loved ones like they were their own family. This was all available in Sandra's original apartment with a very thoughtful aging-in-place model, so she wouldn't need to transfer to another floor or facility. The care was exceptional, providing her with warmth, dignity, and respect. It comes as no surprise that Chestnut Square (a non-profit organization) is driven by their dedication to residents as well as staff--who all seem to really enjoy working there. Our entire experience with Chestnut Square was wonderful and provided the whole family with tremendous peace of mind!

Not yet a 'Senior', but almost can't wait to get older!…read more I've been working with this organization for several years, and have found the resources they offer to be top notch! Their restaurant is very simple, but the food is very good, and the prices almost too low. The service is great, and for those of us in our 40's, it makes me feel young to be with so many fun and spry of my elders. So inspiring. I've brought clients in on occasion, as a form of referral as well as a meal, and they seem very impressed by the food and all that is going on there. The programs they offer, such as classes or trips, are excellent from my 2nd hand experience. I've referred several people to their programs and classes, and all have had fairly good to excellent experiences. They offer special trips to events, have concerts enjoy and a choir to join, computer classes to keep up with new technology, games and tournaments, and simply offer a place to hang to share stories. The only negative, which is in the works for them, is their shorter hours. They are looking to stay open a little later, but mostly weekdays only until 4pm. Not bad if you're retired, but more of a challenge for me to pick up information for people who may not live very close, or those who can't drive. Check out their current hours by calling ahead. Come in for a tour, grab a soup or sandwich, and find out what they have!
