Management and Staff Leadership
Goddard House, a charitable, nonprofit organization serving elders in the greater Boston area since 1849, owns Goddard House Skilled Nursing Center and Goddard House in Brookline Assisted Living. A volunteer board of managers governs Goddard House.
We are managed by Radius Management Services, Inc., which provides a network of extended services beyond those traditionally associated with individual skilled nursing centers and assisted living communities. Radius has provided years of excellent service in the heath care field which is reassuring to residents and families making selections among the many retirement options available today.
We offer complete continuum from assisted living to short or long-term care services at our Skilled Nursing Center. The same continuum is in place for residents of our memory-impairment programs at both sites.
