About Deutsches Altenheim, Inc.

Deutsches Altenheim 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, Deutsches Altenheim 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:

 

The German Centre for Extended Care, 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 program that promotes the maximum level of dignity and independence for individuals with advanced stages of Alzheimer’s and dementia; and
  • Long-term person-centered care committed to supporting the physical, emotional, and cognitive needs of every resident.

 

Edelweiss Village, a 62-apartment assisted living community for seniors who wish to maintain an active and independent lifestyle and are seeking assistance with some aspect of daily life.

 

Senior Place, a supportive adult day health and respite services program, helping seniors age at home.
