Golda Meir House is an independent living community in Newton, Massachusetts, in the Auburndale neighborhood. Residents choose one-bedroom or two-bedroom apartments and have access to community services rather than daily care, so the apartment layouts may suit someone who wants private living alongside programs and services on site.
2Life Communities operates Golda Meir House, and Myra Marshall serves as the director. An on-site salon lets residents manage personal grooming without leaving the community, while raised garden beds in the outdoor courtyard offer space for gardening and outdoor fitness equipment supports exercise on the property.
Lifelong learning includes lectures, workshops, and hands-on classes, with fitness and wellness programs, technology assistance and training, holiday celebrations, cultural events, and other entertainment also available. Jewish religious services provide faith-based programming within the community, and the range of activities may appeal to someone who wants an active schedule with opportunities for learning, exercise, social events, and worship.
Lunch is served Monday through Friday in the dining room or as takeout, with hot meals, sides, soups, salads, and sandwiches available for a required $100 monthly fee. Guests can join residents for lunch at $13 per meal, making it possible to share the midday meal with visitors.
