If You Lived Here, What Would You be Doing Today?

At Neville Place, we offer you opportunities to pursue experiences, adventures and destinations. These daily opportunities to engage with like-minded individuals on a variety of mutually shared interests and pursuits keep things interesting! Calling what we do “activities” doesn’t really describe the fullness of our program - from Artful Adventures, a museum visiting program, to The Knowledge Connection which focuses on continuing adult education to cooking, drama, art, fitness and “GetConnected” computer classes, you’ll find something to do every day that nurtures some element of what makes you tick and helps you to continue to grow as a person.

Seniors Making Art - The Neville Place Art Program

The Neville Place Art Program is modeled after “Seniors Making Art”, a Seattle-based organization that has supported art instruction classes for seniors in over 100 locations. The premise is that art is not just about craftsmanship or creativity, but rather about the feelings and memories we all have within us. Seniors, of course, have a wealth of life experiences to draw from in creating their art.

Weekly classes taught by local artists and interns from nearby Lesley University offer Neville Place residents a broad curriculum, including drawing, watercolor, working with clay, memory masks and books. The program focuses on exercis­ing both the left and right sides of the brain through reasoning and creating. Classes are held in a large airy room with floor-to-ceiling windows overlooking Fresh Pond, high ceilings, and plenty of space for tables, easels and art materials.

Social, Cultural and Fitness Programs

At Neville Place residents plan their day to the fullest by selecting from a wide array of activities and enjoying entertaining and educational events. Our programs, developed with resident input, offers many opportunities for residents to spend time with each other, pursue individual interests, and host their families and friends at our special gatherings.

Compass Memory Support Programs

Individuals with memory loss benefit most from organized activities available at almost any hour, which is why we provide social, wellness, learning and therapeutic activities beginning after breakfast and continuing through the evening hours - seven days a week.

Our innovative Reconnections Program, developed by Senior Living Residences, is the bedrock of our activities programming. This curriculum-based adult learning program is backed by research that cognitive stimulation may slow the progression of Alzheimer’s, and that individuals with Alzheimer's still have the ability to learn. Our material-rich courses are focused on residents’ past and present interests and developed to elicit an engaged response, as well as provide residents with a way to re-connect with their past experiences, re-engage with past learned materials, and benefit from the joy of learning. The Reconnections Program takes place in an interactive, socially stimulating setting, focused on achieving new learning and keeping minds active.
