The Current, a luxury senior living development, has opened in Beverly, featuring 86 residential units complemented by a suite of onsite support and lifestyle amenities from restorative yoga to a rooftop deck. Owned by Monarch Communities, a New York-based company that develops and operates senior living facilities, the property aims to offer a seamless, comfortable aging-in-place experience.
“Our residents will fall in love with the renovations and amenities that we offer at The Current Beverly, and especially with the first-rate care our staff and partners provide,” says Katie Palamara, executive director of The Current Beverly. “We are excited to set a new standard in senior living to North Shore residents.”
The opening was made official with a ribbon cutting event last week featuring appearances by local dignitaries, comments by celebrity photographer and Monarch creative director Nigel Barker (known to many for his stint on America’s Next Top Model), and a musical performance on drums and clarinet by 99-year-old resident Roger Wonson.
