Carolyn Roycroft

Roles and Responsibilities

New Pond Village Activities Director Carolyn Roycroft oversees community-wide programming, including guest lectures, musical performances, physical activities and off-campus trips. Her initiatives ensure that residents at all care levels remain connected, engaged and fulfilled.

Passion for Senior Care

“I love working with the residents and finding out exactly what they most enjoy,” she says. “Their favorite things often inform the programming. We take the residents’ interests and develop programming around them.”

Residents know they can tell Carolyn what programs they like or dislike because she actively seeks feedback. “I feel I work for the residents, and I want to make sure they’re getting exactly what they want.”

Career Journey

Carolyn has an extensive background in senior living programming. Before working at New Pond Village, she worked in Framingham, Mass., as a program director with the Council on Aging under the city’s Parks and Recreation Department. She also worked as a director for the Bellingham, Mass., Council on Aging.

She joined the New Pond Village team originally in the Mind & Memory Care neighborhood. When the opportunity arose to transition to programming Carolyn quickly said, “Yes.”

“I have always enjoyed senior living programming, but working closely with residents is my passion.”
