The Boston Home

The Boston Home is a nonprofit long-term care community in Dorchester for adults with advanced multiple sclerosis and other progressive neurological conditions. It describes itself as an innovative care community, and its stated mission is to make a compelling difference in the lives of the adults it serves. The campus includes a Wheelchair Enhancement Center, and the organization relies on gifts from supporters to carry out its work.

Testimonials on its website come from residents, families and staff. A resident says staff have made them feel safe, healthy and loved, a family member calls the home a godsend for a brother receiving care there, and a staff member describes the job as a calling built on creating a safe, nurturing environment for residents. Donors can give directly, and the organization helps supporters whose employers match charitable gifts.
