What People are saying about Hebrew SeniorLife

  • Headshot of resident Maureen Mermer

    "I have happy tears; I’ve never in over 30 years been given such an opportunity. The beauty of this place is with senior housing, you think of planning for the end. I think I’m planning for the beginning. I'm enjoying meeting the new neighbors and helping them out when I can. I go out for a walk and can’t believe I live in Coolidge Corner. I’m just embracing life now."
