Goddard House
About
Goddard House is a nonprofit assisted living community in Brookline offering traditional assisted living and memory support for older adults. Its mission centers on embracing the aging experience, with programs that support purpose, engagement, autonomy and choice. Residents who are generally independent but need some help with daily tasks and personal care can live in traditional assisted living, while a dedicated neighborhood serves people living with memory loss.
With roots going back 175 years, the organization emphasizes creative aging and innovation. Dining draws on Mediterranean cooking through an award-winning Brain Healthy Cooking Program, and the grounds include an organic vegetable garden, a chicken coop and an indoor herb garden. Daily programs aim to keep minds and bodies active. The building is undergoing a major renovation of its common spaces, supported by the Visioning! fundraising campaign.
