Lasell Village in MA

Lasell Village  is an independent living community that is affiliated with Lasell College, a small liberal arts school in Newton, Massachusetts.  Although the community offers continuing care, the focus here is on lifelong learning and intellectual enrichment, rather than physical diminution.  Lasell Village is located on the college's campus, and residents must commit to taking 450 college class hours per year.  The give and take between elderly and traditional students provides value to both populations.

 Here  is an article about Lasell Village written by one of its residents who also has a professional background in senior housing (and, interestingly, is the mother of Obama senior adviser David Axelrod).
