About 2Life Communities

Location:

30 Wallingford Road, Boston, MA 02135, US

Mission Statement

Empowering older adults to live with purpose and dignity. At 2Life our mission is to ensure that all seniors have the opportunity to thrive regardless of their income level or background.

Description

2Life Communities, a nonprofit organization founded in 1965, operates on the belief that all seniors should have the opportunity to live a full life of connection and purpose in a dynamic, supportive environment - a model we call aging in community, which directly combats the growing public health crisis of social isolation and loneliness amongst older adults. 2Life is a senior housing developer, owner, operator, and advocate, with residents at the center of everything we do.

At 2Life Communities, residents can step out the doors of their own apartments and find friendship, community, physical and intellectual stimulation, and a helping hand day or night. Serving a diverse population of 1,800 older adults, 2Life creates communities with a laser sharp focus on affordability - a tremendous concern given that Massachusetts is the state with the 2nd largest gap in the U.S. between seniors’ median income and the cost of living.
