Meet Mason, a 2Life Communities resident
Mason and his wife live on our Brighton campus, where he volunteers at the front desk, paints, and plays accordion.
Located walking distance from Commonwealth Avenue, Brighton Center, and the MBTA’s B Line, the Brighton Campus is comprised of four connected buildings that create one vibrant community.
2Life Communities’ biggest and most diverse campus is here in Brighton. Join your neighbors in celebrating the Chinese Moon Festival; participate in a community-wide Passover seder; or attend a meeting of the Russian Scientists Club in our state-of-the-art, 200-seat auditorium.

In addition to the features standard to all 2Life Communities, at our Brighton campus you’ll enjoy our state-of-the-art auditorium, resale shop, and a trilingual library, as well as a host of programs and services that are unique to this community. These include:
Joyful Connections: A social drop-in club for residents with memory loss and their care partners. The program engages residents four times per week in a structured two-hour agenda that many say has changed their lives.
CaringChoices(TM): This program supports residents in the comfort and familiarity of their own 2Life apartments, providing home care services that make it possible for our more frail residents to remain at 2Life for as long as possible, and delay or prevent their need for nursing home placement.
Great Days for Seniors: A supportive, stimulating, and social environment for older adults who have memory loss and other serious conditions. Open five days a week, with staff bilingual in Russian and English. Residents can pay for this program privately or, if they are financially eligible, Medicaid will cover the costs.
