Goddard House embraces the aging experience for seniors living in the Boston area by operating a high-quality assisted living community and by creating innovative programs which support our need for purpose, engagement, autonomy, and choice as we age.

Founded in 1849, Goddard House is the oldest elder care organization in Massachusetts and the third oldest in America. A not-for-profit organization, Goddard House has two strategic directions:
(1) The continued high-quality operation of Goddard House, an innovative assisted living and memory care community with 115 units in Brookline, MA which has a long history of providing creative and enriching experiences for our residents.
(2) The expansion of Goddard House Community Initiatives, which sponsors and develops creative aging programs and partnerships that engage underserved older adults in the Greater Boston community.

We have developed an ambitious strategic plan which lays out our goals in detail (www.goddardhouse.org/strategic-plan/).
