Weston, Massachusetts
Home care in Weston, Massachusetts
Weston houses are large and set back, and the distance from the front door to the car matters more than people expect after a hospital stay. Newton-Wellesley handles most of those stays.
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 Weston 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.

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 Weston families need is not something we sell: meals, a heating bill, a ride, help understanding Medicare. The aging services agency for Weston is the right first call for those, and they cost nothing.
