Massachusetts inspects every assisted living residence at least once every two years. At its most recent compliance review on April 15, 2025, the state cited 4 findings at Atria Draper Place. 3 of them had already been cited at the previous review. Across the 145 Massachusetts residences with a published report, the median is 6.

This page covers one review, not a history, and it is not a score or a ranking. A finding means the state identified something the residence has to correct; it does not on its own mean a resident was harmed. The state does not publish what happened after this review, so a finding listed here may since have been fixed. Where the state withheld private details, such as a resident's medication or the date of an incident, the text reads [redacted].
