Which home health agencies serve Greater Boston?

181 Medicare-certified home health agencies are based in Suffolk, Middlesex, Norfolk, Essex and Plymouth counties, according to the CMS Provider Data Catalog. They provide physician-ordered skilled care at home — nursing, physical, occupational and speech therapy.

Medicare-certified home health is skilled, time-limited care after an illness or hospital stay. It is different from non-medical home care (bathing, meals, companionship), which in Massachusetts is arranged privately or through an Aging Services Access Point. Agencies are listed by their office address; most serve a much wider area.

What is the difference between assisted living and memory care in Massachusetts?

Assisted living is a certified ALR apartment with meals and personal care; memory care is a secured Special Care Residence inside an ALR for people living with dementia. Both are certified by AGE, and neither is a nursing home.
