Brookhaven at Lexington

About

Brookhaven at Lexington is a nonprofit Life Care retirement community where residents pay one monthly service fee and have onsite health care guaranteed should they need it later. The campus sits on 31 acres surrounded by conservation land with native plantings and walking trails. It is aimed at older adults who want an active community without the cares of home maintenance, with opportunities for intellectual growth, artistic expression and personal wellness.

A recent expansion and revitalization added a 300-seat Performance Hall, a fitness center, more residences and expanded dining venues. Residents choose from 16 floor plans, ranging from an efficient studio to a spacious two-bedroom with den. Being close to both Cambridge and Boston, the community organizes frequent outings to city attractions such as the Boston Symphony and the Museum of Fine Arts, and local shopping and dining are a few minutes away. A comment quoted on its site says staff help at every turn, from moving in and maintenance to health and social issues.
