About German Centre
German Centre is a top-ranked nonprofit eldercare organization committed to meeting the ever-changing needs of aging adults in Greater Boston.
Originally founded by the German Ladies Aid Society in 1914 to address the needs of the aging German immigrant community, German Centre serves more than 230 seniors and their families—of all backgrounds—with a variety of essential services that span the continuum of care, across the following three communities on a single campus in West Roxbury, MA:
German Centre Home, 133-bed skilled-nursing home that offers:
- Comprehensive rehabilitation services designed to facilitate healing and promote the highest level of functioning, as quickly as possible, so aging adults recovering from surgery and illness can return home.
- A specialized memory care environment that promotes the maximum level of dignity and independence for individuals with advanced stages of Alzheimer’s and dementia.
- Long-term person-centered care committed to supporting the physical, emotional, and cognitive needs of every resident.
Edelweiss Village, an assisted living community for seniors who wish to maintain an active and independent lifestyle and are seeking assistance with some aspect of daily life. This community includes a new memory care unit featuring 12 private, accessible apartments for residents living with Alzheimer’s disease and other memory loss disorders.
Senior Place, a supportive adult day health and respite services program, for seniors who need a place to call ‘home’ during the day.
