We are Your Care Team Partners
When someone makes Goddard House their home, we become their partner in healthcare.
At Goddard House, your loved one benefits from comprehensive wellness and support services, and we work closely with their healthcare providers to gain a complete understanding of their care needs. If you’re looking for a provider, we bring in local professionals who can deliver services onsite for added convenience. We’re also happy to refer you to other practices in the greater Brookline area. Whether you’re already a resident at Goddard House or transitioning your new home, you can feel confident knowing we’re here to support you with visiting physicians, onsite mental health services, pharmacy coordination, and transportation to scheduled medical appointments in the area.
Resident choice is the most important part of our approach. Who you choose to be in your healthcare provider network is completely your decision. At Goddard House, you have the choice of maintaining connections with current providers you already know and trust, or working with our onsite partners.

Direct-to-Community Pharmacy Coordination

We coordinate with the pharmacy to provide free medication delivery, and residents also have the option to access additional clinical support, including comprehensive drug reviews and assessments, if desired.
Visiting Nurse and Speech, Physical & Occupational Therapy Resources
If you have conditions that require assessment and rehabilitation, and would like to receive care within the community, we partner with local providers to help you get back to your normal activities as quickly as possible. Caretenders and Fox Rehab are available to offer support at Goddard House.
Hospice Partnerships
We work with Hebrew SeniorLife Hospice Care, Dignity Hospice, Pathways Healthcare, who can offer palliative and hospice right in our community.
Outside Care Coordination
If your loved one needs to leave the community for additional care, you can rely on us to support you every step of the way. We will maintain open communication with both you and the hospital or rehab facility throughout their treatment. Our nursing team will coordinate with Case Managers and play an active role in the discharge planning process.
Our shared goal is to help your loved one return home to Goddard House. Together, we’ll review any necessary updates to their care plan and identify additional services that can be provided to ensure they have the support they need.
