DISCOVER NEW ONES
At Medford Leas, endless opportunities abound to participate in hobbies and pastimes. Diverse residents not only participate in activities, but also plan them: the Medford Leas Resident Association directs over 90 activities and committees, events, and interest groups. Residents organize trips to concerts, sightseeing, birding, plan forums, volunteer, maintain trails and woodlands, and even produce a literary journal and two newsletters – one for each campus.
All these possibilities for a fulfilling life are enriched by our commitment to Quaker principles, focused on nurturing the physical, emotional, intellectual, social, and spiritual well-being of each resident. All residents on both campuses are members of the Medford Leas Residents Association.
Fitness & Aquatics
SWIM, WALK, BIKE, OR RUN…
& THAT IS JUST THE WARM-UP!
Our commitment to a healthy and fulfilling life means you will enjoy access to a tremendous selection of health and fitness opportunities. Both campuses feature fitness centers staffed with personal trainers. Other recreation resources include indoor and outdoor swimming pools, canoe and kayak launches, biking/activity paths, exercise studios, tennis & pickleball courts, personal trainers and an array of wellness programs. Aquatics is also a key part of our fitness routine at Medford Leas. With a new, 60 foot heated indoor lap pool on the Medford campus and a heated outdoor pool at the Lumberton campus, we are able to offer a complete variety of aquatics programs, aerobics, water-walking and volleyball.

Dining in Style
ENJOY DELICIOUS MEALS IN OUR NEWLY RENOVATED INDOOR and OUTDOOR DINING VENUES.
We have proudly unveiled three new dining venues- Café at the Atrium, Bloom and The Terrace – offering a wonderful variety of cuisine and dining décor to choose from, with meals that are professionally prepared each and every day.
Crafting meals that combine great flavor and creativity, along with all the vital nutrients, is a rewarding challenge to our talented Executive Chef, Stephanie Linton, and her culinary staff. A wide array of menus are created with the freshest and most flavorful ingredients in a seasonal cycle, with new items added as tastes and offerings change. The goal is to add more character and diversity to our dining experience.
Enjoy the elegant ambience of formal dining at Bloom, or the welcoming, casual setting of Cafe at the Atrium and The Terrace, each venue provides the perfect setting to share a wonderful meal and some good conversation with friends and family. Call 866-386-4038 today to schedule a personal visit.
