About Us:

Deutsches Altenheim's roots are steeped in German, not-for-profit traditions. Founded in 1914 by the German Ladies Aid Society of Boston, Deutsches Altenheim provided a home and care for elderly countrymen. Within a few short years of its opening, Deutsches Altenheim became a centerpiece of the German community, attracting German social and cultural organizations from around the greater Boston area.

Over the years, through the generosity of its supporters, Deutsches Altenheim grew with the changing needs of the community. The community itself, once entirely of German heritage began to change as well. Today the Deutsches Altenheim remains a not-for-profit community, offering skilled nursing, post-acute rehabilitation, Alzheimer's care, outpatient rehabilitation, as well as respite and hospice services to individuals of all nationalities, races and religions.
