"People always say, 'you're so active'! I like the bicycle, I use the fitness center, we walk. We do three exercise classes a week. It's nice to know that as we become less able, Newbury Court has all the services to continue to live as comfortably as possible. And we'll have all the friends we've made around here close by."

Thank you, Anne & Dave, for sharing about your experience at Newbury Court!

On a recent visit to the Harvard Art Museums, residents explored paintings alongside our Artist-in-Residence, Alexia, who led discussions about the techniques and meaning behind the works they encountered.

At Newbury Court, engagement with the arts is just one part of a community built around curiosity, connection, and purpose. We’re proud to be a not-for-profit that brings meaningful experiences like this to life.

Residents Ted and Jan "playing in the mud" - one of their favorite activities at Newbury Court, and one they made possible for the whole community. After moving to Newbury Court, Ted was given the idea to create an Empty Bowls project. Ted and fellow residents teamed up with The Umbrella Arts Center to handcraft more than 400 beautiful and creative bowls.

At a community-wide Concord luncheon, the bowls were purchased and auctioned off with proceeds donated to Open Table, the local food pantry. It was a huge success and brought the community closer together. Jan says, “Ceramics is not my hobby, but the interaction, helping residents even though they had never done anything like that before, was wonderful. Some people started coming down just to be a part of that interaction.”

Thank you, Ted and Jan!
