The Julia Ruth House was founded by Julia and Herbert Irvine in memory of their parents, Thomas and Ruth Irvine and Charles and Julia O’Malia. With help from their family, Julia and Herb assisted their parents in overcoming many of the obstacles they faced during their senior years. Through this experience, the Irvine’s understood the need for a home-based day care center for adults who are in need of some daily support, but who do not require a nursing home. Born of this realization, The Julia Ruth House is one of the first home-based Adult Day Care Centers in a residential setting in Massachusetts.
The Staff
Our team of professionals are experienced in the geriatric field and foster an environment of caring, compassion, and respect that shapes all of the programs we offer.
Our Program
Our senior day program is designed to meet the educational, physical, social, and personal needs of each participant. We honor the dignity of our guests by recognizing their individual needs and offer services to meet those needs. We offer choices and flexibility, tailoring our programs to the talents and interests of our guests. Our activities range from exercise, gardening, and reading to appreciation, movies, and field trips. We are open from 7:30 a.m. to 5:00 p.m., Monday through Friday. We offer breakfast, lunch, and afternoon refreshments.
Transportation
We do not provide transportation so the families of our guests must arrange all transportation to and from the facility.
Our Guests
The Julia Ruth House welcomes guests of all faiths, races, and cultures. Our guests are age 50 or over and have a variety of physical, cognitive, or mental health needs. Many of them feel lonely at home and welcome the enrichment and stimulation our program provides. In addition, our program offers spouses and families a needed break from the demands of caring for older loved ones.
Program Fees
Our program fees enable us to provide the wide range of services and programming that we provide. A minimum of two days a week is required to attend the center. Payment is due the first day of the week. All payments are private pay and unless the guest has long-term care insurance, which we do accept, these services are not covered by health insurance. Please contact us at 781-251-3393 for details on our current day care center rates or your insurance coverage.
We welcome you to visit with us and see if our services are right for you or your loved one.
