Residents of Providence House will enjoy furnishing their apartment homes, which feature kitchenette, private bathroom, wall-to-wall carpeting, window treatments and an emergency call system. Residents will discover the companionship of new friends and neighbors, as well as the opportunity to enjoy a variety of activities planned by a full-time Activity Director. Typical programs include everything from shopping excursions to exercise programs, theme parties to discussion groups, or just socializing in the country kitchens and other inviting common areas.
At Providence House, we understand that independence and a dignified lifestyle are what seniors value most. That's why everything we do at Providence House is done with these resident values in mind.
One of the primary goals is to maintain independence and personal choice for all our residents - we stand ready to assist those who need just a little help with their daily routines. Sometimes it's as simple as a reminder to take medication, help with bathing and dressing, or just having an interested listener. Regardless of the level of assistance needed, we provide it with an atmosphere of respect, dignity and compassion so residents enjoy peace-of-mind and a dignified, supportive lifestyle.
Providence House is co-developed by the Boston Archdiocese Planning Office for Urban Affairs and E.A. Fish Associates, and financed through special funds provided by the Commonwealth of Massachusetts and the City of Boston. The senior living community is designed to offer distinctive affordable housing for seniors of all incomes.
Welch Healthcare and Retirement Group, a trusted family name in senior housing and healthcare services for more than 50 years, will manage both Providence House and The Rehabilitation and Skilled Nursing Facility.
