The Boston Home, Inc.

Description

The Boston Home is an 84-bed, not-for-profit, long-term care facility for adults with physical disabilities, primarily multiple scleroses (MS) and related neurological diseases. People with MS, and similar neurological conditions, face unique challenges. MS can impair a person's coordination, ability to speak, move and see, as well as affect short-term memory and cognitioin. Due to the rate of occurrence of MS, most residents are ages 30 to 60, with about 75% women. The Boston Home is the only residence of its kind in New England, with only two others similar to it in the United States. Clinical services, environment of care, and quality of life define the spectrum of services, functions and programs offered. From the first converted farmhouse to the state-of-the-art facility constructed in 1994, the mission of The Boston Home has been to provide a caring community where physically disabled adults live with dignity and purpose.
