THE STORY: After years of planning, the $485 million Hebrew SeniorLife housing campus opened its doors on Monday, June 15, to residents. The philosophy behind the 162-acre continuing care retirement community, NewBridge on the Charles, is nothing less than “to change the whole idea of what aging is about.”

“It’s really about keeping people independent, keeping people engaged, keeping people healthy, and keeping people secure,” said director of marketing Ruth Stark.
Hebrew SeniorLife, a nonprofit organization founded in 1903, provides a continuum of care to more than 5,000 seniors in the Boston area. It is the only long-term care organization associated with Harvard Medical School. In the past year, NewBridge on the Charles has grown to include the newly opened Gloria Adelson Field Health Center, a 266-bed facility focused on long-term care and Recuperative Services Unit. In the coming year, the campus will become “multigenerational” with the opening of the Rashi School. By Fall 2010, an 82,000-square-foot building will hold kindergarten through eighth-grade students from the Reform Jewish day school in Newton.
