Living Here
Live Engaged. Live With Purpose
Take a Video Tour
Step inside or take a walk around our lush campus and you'll get it—Bellewood feels like home. Neighbors wave, team members stop to chat, and there's always something going on if you want to join in. Life feels lighter here, and it's yours to make your own.
People Who Know You
Here, you'll be surrounded by people who know your name and neighbors who become friends. Our team gets to know what you like, what you don't, and what you might be most interested in. Many of our team members have been here for decades, and it shows in the way they care.
Dining You'll Look Forward To
At Bellewood, meals are chef-prepared, menus change weekly, and everything is served restaurant-style. Want something to-go for a picnic? Prefer room service so you can host a friend in your apartment? No problem.
Your Peace of Mind
Our LifeMinded approach is built on the science of healthy aging to help you stay strong, sharp, and connected. And with our rent-lock rewards program, you'll also have the peace of mind, knowing your costs won't spiral over time.
LifeMinded Rewards
Focus on enjoying life, not budgeting for it. At most communities, rent goes up every year. At Bellewood, rent increases are reduced the longer you stay—until the increases stop completely.
Independence Matters, Yours and Ours
Bellewood is family-owned, which means no red tape and no waiting for corporate approval. If you need something, it gets handled quickly. From managers who can make on-the-spot decisions to chefs who plan menus a week at a time (not months in advance), you get responsiveness and flexibility that puts you first.
A Community Shaped by You
What happens at Bellewood isn't dictated by a corporate playbook. It's shaped by the people who live here. Your neighbors' interests and expertise spark new programs, activities, or outings. Do what you love, and you'll likely find someone else loves it too.

Age Is Just A Number
Meet BirgIt, Age 90
“This is my best chapter yet.”
Birgit moved in at 84, a year after her husband died, trading a house she loved for a community she loved even more. A former registered nurse from Denmark, she says that living here is “the icing on the cake.” Her weeks are packed: strength and stretch classes, three-mile-long walks, improv on Mondays, group meditation, lectures from local professors, and evenings at the symphony.
Living with macular degeneration, Birgit even leads a low-vision support group to help her neighbors stay independent and connected. “My social calendar is so full my kids have to make an appointment,” she laughs. “This really is my best chapter.”
Meet Jennifer, Age 87
“I wasn't sure what to expect with this move, but at 87, my life keeps opening up.”
When Jennifer moved to our community, she feared leaving her old life behind. Instead, she realized that she could bring it with her—and grow a new one too. She still hosts her longtime women’s group every month, gathers her book club in her apartment each Tuesday, and stays active in her church.
At the same time, she’s built a whole new circle of friends who share ideas, happy hours, concerts, lectures, and long conversations. A retired psychiatric nurse practitioner, Jennifer is drawn to people’s stories — and here, every neighbor has one. “I expected convenience,” she says. “What I didn’t expect was feeling held and continuing to grow. Even now, life keeps opening up.”
