20 Residential Care Homes near Boston, MA

Last Updated: 6/29/24

Residential care homes in Boston may appeal to seniors who value smaller, more close-knit communities and many opportunities for socialization. Boston care homes typically take in fewer residents, meaning older adults know each resident in the home and develop strong friendships.

Older-adult care homes vary more than other options for senior living in Boston, so families can choose from a wide range of prices, amenities, and services. A Place for Mom will work with you to understand the cost of care homes. From there, we’ll help you find the right fit, whether you’re staying on a budget or searching for luxury retirement communities.

We are also serving Residential Care Home facilities in surrounding neighborhoods like Waterfront, St Marks and Central Maverick Square Paris St East.
You may also consider nearby communities such as Cambridge, Quincy or Longwood Station.
