Hebrew SeniorLife is the only senior care organization affiliated with Harvard Medical School and New England’s largest nonprofit provider of senior care and living communities.

While we are rooted in Jewish values that honor and respect older adults, our locations serve seniors of all backgrounds, faiths, cultures, income levels, and lived experiences. We are committed to promoting the independence of all older adults and striving to transform every aspect of the aging experience for the better.

The right fit is extremely personal.

Residents move to Orchard Cove as young as 62 (spouses may be younger than 62), but the best way to know if it’s the right fit is to schedule a visit. We can arrange a custom experience that lets you share a meal, attend a program, meet staff and residents – even spend the night! We’ll work with you to find the best way to see for yourself what life is like at Orchard Cove.

Our inclusive monthly pricing model allows you to take advantage of the full breadth of services and amenities without having to worry about unexpected costs. Entrance and monthly fees vary based on residence style, care level, and your financial goals.

Our finance director routinely provides confidential consultations to help you determine what works best for your financial situation. To learn more about the cost of living at Orchard Cove, contact our retirement counselors.

Our independent living community is for older adults who are looking for a vibrant social and intellectual life alongside services and amenities that make daily life more carefree. You live in a private apartment, bring your own furnishings, and enjoy community life with a full roster of programming and maintenance-free living.

Enhanced living at Orchard Cove offers residents a smaller, more supportive living environment that offers the same amenities as independent living. Enhanced living residents benefit from a 24/7 care response system and additional personalized support for everyday tasks, such as personal care and medication management.

Situated on 38 wooded acres of conservation land in Canton, Massachusetts, Orchard Cove combines the serenity of nature with the energy of a bustling community. Our walking trails, gardens, and pond views even have some residents comparing us to a tree house.

Just minutes from local restaurants, shops, and parks, and within easy reach of Boston and Cape Cod, it’s easy to stay connected to everything you love about New England living.

You never have to figure out what’s best alone. Our team works with both residents and their families to answer questions, explain the differences between living options, and help everyone feel confident in the next steps—together.
