Live Where You Grow. Thrive Where You Belong.

At Jewish Senior Life, independent living isn’t just about comfort, connection, purpose, and possibility. Our active adult communities are designed for older adults who want more than a place to live. They want a place to thrive.

Life here consists of daily growth opportunities, from university-style learning to wellness programs, creative workshops, and meaningful friendships.

Lifelong Learning with Live and Learn

At Meer Apartments, residents participate in our exclusive Live and Learn program in partnership with Oakland University. Taught by university professors and cultural experts, courses span politics, film, literature, Jewish history, and more. With no homework and no commute, it’s learning for the joy of it.

Wellness & Movement for All Levels

Whether it’s morning yoga, balance classes, or brisk walks on our beautiful campuses, staying active is part of daily life; group fitness, chair exercises, tai chi, and strength training support residents at every mobility level.

Creative Expression & Hands-On Fun

Residents have endless ways to create and express themselves, from painting and crafts to music and theater workshops. Join a knitting circle, try watercolor, or help design the set for the next community play—there’s always something new to explore.
