Simon C Fireman Community

Simon C Fireman Community sits at 640 North Main Street in Randolph, MA, and is a senior living community that's part of Hebrew SeniorLife, which is a Harvard Medical School affiliate, and it's designed for older adults who want an affordable, supportive place to live that allows independence and offers help when needed, and while it's focused on the Jewish community, it's open to everyone and non-denominational. This community contains 160 studio and one-bedroom apartments, including over 110 one-bedroom units in several styles, with amenities that include things like a fitness center, art studio, computer learning center, dining room, coffee shop, and a library for keeping up with hobbies and interests, and there's also group exercise, personal training, and wellness classes as part of the R3 program. Residents use Handicap accessible entrances and find wheelchair access throughout the buildings, and the apartments are designed for those who want community life but still like their independence, with restaurant-style meals served Monday through Friday, available social programs, shopping trips, intergenerational activities, and resident parking. Health care and safety supports include on-site nurses, home health aides, care coordination, 24-hour emergency response, incontinence care, and access to various therapies including occupational, speech, and physical, with all services run by trained and certified professionals. There's a focus on socialization and independence, with resident-led activity planning, special events, celebrations, and volunteer service projects included, and wellness is encouraged through both community and health programs, as well as personal support. Rent is based on income thanks to the HUD subsidy, so affordability plays a big part here, and they make sure to follow fair housing rules. Simon C Fireman Community also provides scheduled transportation, laundry, and housekeeping, and that's all on top of being part of a larger network of Hebrew SeniorLife communities, with access to additional supports through places like Jack Satter House, NewBridge on the Charles, and other local facilities. The Housing Navigator and different loan and affordable housing programs back up residents who want guidance, and their documented review score is 8.5 out of 10 from two reviews, along with the Best of Senior Living Award. It's a place best suited for older adults who want secure, independent housing but appreciate the safety and convenience of available support and community living.
