Belmont, Massachusetts
Home care in Belmont, Massachusetts
Belmont families often call us at the point where one parent has been quietly carrying the other. Mount Auburn is close, which helps when appointments come in clusters.
After the hospital
Coming home from Mount Auburn Hospital
The discharge paperwork tells you what happened in the hospital. It does not tell you who is going to be at the house at seven in the morning when getting out of bed is the hardest thing of the day.
For a Belmont household we can usually be there within a day of the discharge: same caregiver, same hours, a short written note after every visit, and a call to you the same day if anything looks different.

Day to day
What we help with in Belmont
- Relief for a spouse who has become the full-time caregiver
- Hill-street homes where getting to the car is the hard part
- Rides to Mount Auburn and to the Beech Street Center
- Memory support with the same caregiver each visit
This is non-medical care. We do not provide skilled clinical services, and we will say so on the first call if that is what the situation needs.
Local help beyond what we do
Plenty of what Belmont families need is not something we sell: meals, a heating bill, a ride, help understanding Medicare. The aging services agency for Belmont is the right first call for those, and they cost nothing.
