Enhanced Care
Specialized services make it possible for our most frail residents to remain in their homes, and delay or prevent the need for nursing home placement.
Adult Day Health
In partnership with Hebrew SeniorLife, Great Days for Seniors offers a unique, supportive and stimulating program for older adults on our Brighton campus who have dementia or other medical needs that necessitate personalized, one-on-one attention from professionals. The program, open six days a week, is staffed by a registered nurse, social services and activity coordinators, and activity assistants. All programs are culturally and linguistically appropriate.

CaringChoices™
This program enables residents to remain in the comfort and familiarity of their own 2Life apartments. While services vary slightly for each location, the overall goal of the program is to make it possible for our more frail residents to remain at 2Life and delay or prevent their need for assisted living or nursing home placement.
Residents of our Brighton campus can participate in the Congregate Housing Services Program (CHSP). The program offers a nutritious kosher lunch, escorts to medical appointments, and "house calls" which offer personal care and light housekeeping assistance, including medication reminders, help preparing for bed, toileting, warming up meals, washing dishes, and taking out the trash.
Residents of our Coleman House in Newton may receive in-home services coordinated by a designated service coordinator, who works closely with the Aging Services Access Point (ASAP) for Newton. The service coordinator is on campus at specific times each week to explain and coordinate services for residents if needed. CaringChoices can provide subsidies on a sliding fee scale based on a resident's income and ability to manage daily tasks.
Joyful Connections
This program is a social drop-in club for our Brighton residents with memory loss and their care partners. The program engages residents five times per week in a structured two-hour agenda that many say has changed their lives.
Replication Guide
How to Adopt the Joyful Connections Program Model
People with Alzheimer’s disease and other dementias often need places to go and things to do to keep their minds active, keep them engaged with other people, and participate in activities that highlight their remaining skills and abilities, and most of all, they need to feel positive emotion.
