A Full and Rewarding Lifestyle
An Award-Winning Dining Experience
Our award-winning and professional chefs, dieticians and kitchen staff love their work… and it shows in every meal we serve. Whether it’s a continental breakfast or a weekday supper, a Valentine’s Day tea or a Fourth of July barbecue, our residents know they can expect a wide choice of delicious and nutritious dining options.

A Variety of Venues
Our main campus features five distinctive dining rooms, plus a contemporary bistro for additional freshly-made a la carte offerings. From our elegantly appointed restaurant-style dining room featuring delicious daily menu selections to the ever-popular Frenchy’s bistro, offering a variety of soups and sandwiches, plus specials from the panini grill, residents always have a wide and varied choice.

Our award-winning Chef Shawn not only prepares delicious meals daily but also coordinates holiday celebrations—and offers popular cooking classes for residents!

Our Dining Services team never misses an opportunity to celebrate holidays and other special events. In addition to holiday parties complete with music and decorations, we offer a variety of special themed menus featuring international and regional cuisine. Our large private dining room can be reserved for a number of special occasions; such as family dinners and reunions, wedding anniversaries, Thanksgiving celebrations, baby showers, and birthday parties. Our catering specialists will work with you to create the perfect menu for any event!

Dynamic Programs
At Chelsea Retirement Community, the daily calendar is always full, fun and rewarding. As a resident you can choose from a wide variety of programs, classes and events. From enjoying lifelong-learning classes to exercise programs, field trips and shopping excursions, musical performances, arts and crafts, book clubs and reading groups, religious studies, theme parties, ice cream socials – options are always offered – seven days a week.

A Strong Spiritual Component
The caring, home-like atmosphere that makes Chelsea Retirement Community a one-of-a-kind place can be traced to our faith-based mission. Even casual visitors often comment on the warmth, fellowship and compassion displayed by residents and staff alike. Although our roots are in the United Methodist Church, our religious outlook is non-denominational. Ecumenical church services are conducted each Sunday, and two staff chaplains are available throughout the week to offer spiritual guidance, comfort, and support.
