Chelsea Jewish Lifecare: Support at Every Stage of Life
FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE
Chelsea Jewish Lifecare Northshore Offers a Continuum of Care: Support at Every Stage of Life
Harriett & Ralph Kaplan Estates Assisted Living & Memory Support, Jeffrey & Susan Brudnick Center for Living Skilled Nursing & Rehabilitation, Shapiro-Rudolph Adult Day Health Center and Legacy Lifecare VNA & Hospice Provide Comprehensive Senior Care Options
PEABODY, MA (January 2026) – As individuals age, choosing the right care needs and living environment becomes one of life’s most important and difficult decisions. Many older adults seek supportive services, social engagement, access to quality medical care, and a worry-free lifestyle. At Chelsea Jewish Lifecare’s (CJL) Northshore campus – a leading healthcare nonprofit organization and an affiliate of Legacy Lifecare – residents can enjoy these benefits in addition to so much more, with access to a full continuum of care all within one vibrant community.
Located on Lynnfield Street in Peabody, this campus brings together a range of care options designed to support seniors through every stage of aging. Shapiro-Rudolph Adult Day Health Center provides supportive medical and engaging social services through a daytime program allowing participants to maintain the ability to live at home. Residents of Harriett & Ralph Kaplan Estates Assisted Living & Memory Support – whether in traditional or memory support apartments – enjoy a seamless transition into an all-inclusive, social community that supports independence while providing personalized assistance with activities of daily living. The Jeffrey & Susan Brudnick Center for Living offers short-term rehabilitation, long-term care, and advanced memory care for individuals recovering from a hospital stay who need extra therapy on their path back home, as well as for those whose evolving needs require a higher level of skilled care. Legacy Lifecare VNA & Hospice further extends the continuum with compassionate visiting nurse, palliative, and end-of-life care services.
“We provide a true continuum of care – a personalized range of services tailored to meet each individual’s unique needs,” explains Jill Hemeon, Area Director of Community Relations for Chelsea Jewish Lifecare and Legacy Lifecare. “For some, an assisted living community will be their forever home. For others, additional support will become necessary down the road. Our model ensures every resident receives the right level of care at the right time.”
Peace of Mind for Residents and Families
A major advantage of living at the Chelsea Jewish Lifecare Northshore campus is accessibility. Unlike many retirement communities that require a large entrance fee or ‘buy-in,’ Chelsea Jewish Lifecare Northshore has no such requirement. Residents simply move into an assisted living apartment and immediately gain access to the full range of care, services and activities available on campus. This approach allows seniors to age in place – remaining within the same supportive community even as their care needs change. The result is a comfortable, social, and wellness-focused environment that promotes independence and peace of mind for the individual and their loved ones.
“Knowing that their loved one is safe and well cared for brings families tremendous relief,” adds Hemeon. “From the moment someone joins the community, they become part of the Chelsea Jewish Lifecare family. What does family do when in need? They help each other out. With that being said, the front-line staff members make up a large part of our family here at CJL. They are truly one of a kind, and their dedication is reflected in the exceptional longevity and minimal turnover. It genuinely feels like home here. And even though it may not be the home you are familiar with and know and love, remember that you can always have more than one home.”
