A Community with a History of PurposeFULL® Living
North Hill offers three modern living communities – Crescent Heights for independent living, Vista Terrace for enhanced living, and Pines Edge for skilled nursing and long term care – all on a single 59-acre, state-of-the-art campus. We’ve been here since 1984 as the premier non-profit Continuing Care Retirement Community in the region, always at the vanguard of senior living. Since the beginning, we’ve upheld the traditions and values of community, wellness and healthy aging that our residents rely on. Our inspired PurposeFULL living programming reflects the vibrant, youthful attitudes of modern seniors who continue to work, learn and grow as they age.
The North Hill Community
North Hill has always been a community that combines active autonomy with one of the most reliable continuums of care in New England. Our residents maintain the individual lifestyles they are used to with access to support, activities, and amenities that help them live rich, fulfilling lives that are full of new or rediscovered purpose.
Here at North Hill, residents enjoy constant cultural enrichment and intellectual stimulation, 5-star dining, and social interaction – all in a modern, updated, secure environment that promotes healthy aging. They can choose to fill their days with health and wellness, technology, nature, hobbies and interests, and still see all of their medical needs (short-term rehab, long-term care, memory support) fulfilled through our full-service care options and cost-deferring programs.
Modern, caring, and strongly rooted in community – that’s the North Hill way.

History
In 1984 forward thinking men and women of Needham and Wellesley, Massachusetts, with strong community and spiritual backgrounds, decided to build a community that would care for their needs and those of future generations of seniors. Led by Jarvis Farley, a corporator of Babson College, these trustworthy men and women dutifully transformed fifty-nine acres of farmland into a non-profit Lifecare retirement community now known as North Hill.
Today, standing the test of time, North Hill continues to be a thriving, independent-living Lifecare community offering the very finest amenities and services to the Greater Boston area. As the first senior living community in Massachusetts to offer Lifecare contracts to its residents, North Hill became a model for others to emulate in financial strength and stability along with quality, reliable care along the aging continuum.
PurposeFULL® Living
PurposeFULL® Living is the approach to life that lies at the heart of North Hill Retirement Community. It is founded in the view that a whole person’s wellness is derived from meaningful engagement in all dimensions of the human experience. It is about choosing to continue on with the independent life you have built for yourself, or reimagining it to become something brand new. It’s about having the ability to find new purpose for yourself in the exciting amenities, activities, and events that you can explore with us.
North Hill facilitates our philosophy of PurposeFULL® Living by fulfilling our promise of a new rich life. Through our cultural events, WellSpring Landing art and fitness center, volunteer opportunities, and everything we offer here, you can rediscover what excites you, brings you joy, uncover talents, skills, and gifts you never knew you had, and elevates your existence to heights you’ve never imagined.
