North Hill
About
North Hill is a nonprofit continuing care retirement community in Needham offering senior living with Lifecare. Residents have chef-prepared dining, a fitness and vitality center, a woodshop and ceramics studio, and activities such as morning yoga and evening concerts. Its Lifecare contract provides predictable monthly costs and lifelong support, which the community presents as peace of mind for residents and their families.
The community traces its origins to 1979, when actuary Jarvis Farley devised a plan to meet two needs at once: older Needham and Wellesley residents wanted a place to retire, and Babson College sought new earned revenue. A new nonprofit leased 59 acres of Babson land to build the community, which brought the first Life Care contract to New England. Resident profiles include a flutist and physician who gives concerts and health talks.
