Elizabeth E Boit Home-Women

Elizabeth E Boit Home-Women sits in a quiet, safe rural area at 5 Bennett Street in Wakefield, MA, where since 1921 women who have lived in Wakefield for at least ten years can find a peaceful place to stay, and the place itself goes all the way back to its founding in 1894 by Elizabeth E. Boit, who was active in the community and even established things like a mini hospital for workers at the original textile factory, maternity leaves, and support for aged women, so the house does keep a homelike feeling rather than that of a big facility, and women here can have private rooms, share in meals, and relax knowing that staff are around to assist with bathing, dressing, and other daily tasks, right alongside options for memory care including support for Alzheimer's, and continuing care if health needs change, while live-in caregivers help those who want non-medical companionship or just a bit of daily help. Everyone gets to enjoy being close to small parks, restaurants, cafes, doctors, and pharmacies, and if someone needs to get out, there's transportation and parking too. The community is a residential care home, also called a board and care home, and folks can expect a shared neighborhood house setting with services for women over 55, independent living if they're able, and short stay respite care when families need a break. They offer skilled nursing and memory care, and the staff can guide families through planning, with free consultations and long-term care advice, and you'll find real reviews from people who've visited or lived there. Private rooms are available for about $3,100 per month, and the board of directors includes people who were notable for being among the first women on a bank's board in the country. Business hours for advice are Monday through Friday 5:00 AM to 9:00 PM PT and weekends 5:00 AM to 5:30 PM PT, and there's always someone ready to listen and lend a hand. The home keeps a steady, trusted, family-friendly feel for women who want safety, comfort, dignity, and just enough support to keep living as they wish, and all the info and resources about senior care are easy for families to get when they need it most.
