About The Position

2Life Communities is launching Opus Newton, an innovative middle-income housing project for adults aged 62+ in Newton, Massachusetts. This project aims to fill a market gap by offering a unique "age in community" model, distinct from subsidized or high-end options. Opus Newton is the first middle-income Continuing Care Retirement Community (CCRC) by 2Life, connected to the affordable housing community Coleman House via a shared community center. The "aging in community" philosophy emphasizes engagement, purpose, and a supportive environment, with care brought to residents, dedicated Care Navigators, and partnerships for healthcare services, including on-site primary care. A key element of the operating model is a robust resident volunteer requirement of 10 hours per month, fostering social engagement and community.
