10 Located on the former Penniman Hill Farm, minutes from the Derby Street Shops, The Residence at Penniman Hill reflects the charm and style that is so distinctly "Hingham." This lovely new community brings needed independent, assisted and memory care living options to local seniors, delivered with impeccable service and attention to detail by LCB Senior Living, a Massachusetts-based senior living owner and operator with roots that go back nearly three decades. With peace-of-mind at the forefront these days, it is important to highlight the advanced safety systems and practices that led families across all of LCB's 27 communities to give them 4.7 out of 5 stars in their overall response and communication during the initial COVID-19 outbreak. 94% of those respondents said that they are happy their loved ones reside in an LCB community during this time, rather than at home. "I have so many memories of visiting Penniman Hill Farm with my dad to get flowers, pumpkins, Christmas trees and, of course, their famous corn," remarked Jean Norte, the community's Executive Director and Hingham High School Alumna. "It is so meaningful to me that our community is in a location that has such a long-standing place in people's hearts. We're establishing a residential community that reflects Hingham's culture of family life and embodies all of the area's traditional values." The Residence at Penniman Hill is in its own class of senior living. Outfitted with the finest materials, fixtures and amenities, the community is much more than just a stunning building. With comfortable, modern spaces, beautiful finishes and every convenience, it's perfect for South Shore seniors looking for all the excitement and sophistication the area has to offer, coupled with the seaside charm of Hingham. It features month-to-month rentals of studio, one- and two-bedroom apartments filled with natural light, a kitchenette, spacious closets, bathroom and living areas. While apartments are private sanctuaries for relaxation and rest, the building's many common areas provide residents with a "grand home," and give life to the community—all observing safe social distancing, of course. The bistro acts as a place to gather and attend happy hour, cooking demonstrations, wine tastings and more. The theater and media room allow for private screenings and community movie nights when residents can catch the newest release or reminisce with a classic. Spacious living rooms turn into lecture halls for visiting speakers, performance centers, ballrooms for dance lessons, concert halls, game nights and more. These programs are driven by our engagement team and shaped in partnership with residents to appeal to individual interests.
