Wellesley, Massachusetts
Home care in Wellesley, Massachusetts
Wellesley families usually want two things from us: discretion, and the same caregiver each time. Newton-Wellesley is close enough that appointments rarely take a whole day.
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 Wellesley 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 Wellesley
- One matched caregiver on a consistent weekly schedule
- Help with bathing and dressing in a way that protects dignity
- Rides to Newton-Wellesley and to the Wellesley Council on Aging
- Respite for family who have been managing it privately
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 Wellesley families need is not something we sell: meals, a heating bill, a ride, help understanding Medicare. The aging services agency for Wellesley is the right first call for those, and they cost nothing.
