Meet Our Directors
Like our residents, our director team has a rich, diverse life history that led each of us here to New Horizons at Marlborough. We come together with a common purpose – to ensure all aspects of community life are the best they can be for our residents, their families, and our fellow employees. If you would like to connect with us, please email us at directors@cummings.com or call 508-460-5200.
