FIND A 2LIFE COMMUNITY | SENIOR LIVING IN THE GREATER BOSTON, MA, AREA

Vibrant, diverse and welcoming. Find your home at a 2Life community.

Step into any of 2Life’s communities and you’ll feel a sense of warmth, welcome and camaraderie. In our inclusive communities, people from all backgrounds and cultures are creating a sense of family, experiencing the joy of connection and living fulfilling lives of purpose. You’ll find residents engaged in pursuits of their own choosing. They’re challenging their minds and learning new skills as they create works of art, study religious philosophy or learn to write poetry. They’re sharing laughs over fierce-but-friendly ping pong games, exercising at the outdoor “muscle beach,” and giving back to the community through volunteer service such as tutoring elementary school students. And they’re learning about other nations and cultures by sharing in each other’s celebrations and holidays.

When you live at a 2Life community, you’ll have full independence and autonomy. You’ll enjoy the privacy of your own well-appointed apartment home while knowing friends and 24-hour support staff are only steps away. And you, too, will experience the joy, fulfillment and security that come with living in a supportive, welcoming community.
