NewBridge on the Charles sits on a large, quiet campus surrounded by 162 acres of nature and plenty of walking areas, and the building's got original artwork all over the place, more than 1,000 pieces, which mixes things up a bit for residents and visitors walking by. Hebrew SeniorLife runs the place, which is connected with Harvard Medical School, and you've got a choice of living options including Independent Living, Assisted Living, Memory Care Assisted Living, and skilled nursing at the Hebrew Rehabilitation Center on campus, with over 27 floor plans for different needs and tastes. Medical care stays available every hour of every day, and the staff handles things like diabetes help, incontinence, transferring between bed and chair, and health emergencies, plus there are nurses and a doctor on call, with therapists like podiatrists and physical and speech therapists visiting regularly. Residents in need of memory care get protected spaces and specialized programs to help keep their minds active alongside tailored care plans, and the Multicare Facility helps make sure medical needs are covered from assisted living to emergency and home care.
Meal times run on a daily schedule with breakfast, lunch, and dinner, offering kosher and vegetarian choices, and folks can pick up breakfast to-go when needed or eat at the full-service Meadow View restaurant, with breakfast specials, grill and omelet options, and a continental breakfast available. The campus includes an indoor pool, a hot tub, tennis court, putting green, fitness center, clubhouse, library, and a Great Room for gatherings, as well as common areas indoors and outdoors for socializing and relaxation. Residents have access to beautician services, onsite restaurants, and devotional services both on and off the campus if they want.
Community life keeps busy, with plenty of programs for learning and enrichment, including live performances, lectures, and lifelong learning classes, all surrounded by original art and natural scenery. NewBridge makes space for students at the Rashi School right on campus, letting residents and students work together in mentoring activities or projects during the year, and more than 500 students get involved in intergenerational programs here. The site includes resource staff for dining, a concierge service, storage lockers, and a protected underground walkway that connects to the Community Center for easy access in any weather. Resident parking is available and the site is near bus lines, with transportation offered for trips out, and the staff is awake and ready 24/7.
On top of all that, residents can get help with things like daily tasks, health services, rehabilitation, and structured social activities, and if someone's looking to explore options, there's a website with the latest details about the community, meals, and programs. The surroundings stay calm thanks to the nature reserve on campus, and the layout and support aim to help people live safely and comfortably as they age.
