Home care in Newton, Massachusetts
Newton's villages are close enough together that a caregiver can be at the house quickly, and far enough apart that the right match matters. Newton-Wellesley handles most of the hospital stays we hear about here.
After the hospital
Coming home from Newton-Wellesley 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 Newton 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 Newton

- Companionship for someone living alone in a large family house

- Respite for an adult child who moved a parent in
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 Newton families need is not something we sell: meals, a heating bill, a ride, help understanding Medicare. The aging services agency for Newton is the right first call for those, and they cost nothing.
