Warm and Welcoming

For more than a century, German Centre for Extended Care has been dedicated to offering exceptional nursing care delivered with skill, compassion, and respect through the efforts of our specially-trained staff members. This is, quite simply, why people of all faiths put their trust in us.

Our mission is to provide personalized care in a “home-like” setting. Situated on a scenic 14-acre campus, the classic Boston architecture sets the tone for a warm and welcoming environment. The residence offers beautiful interior spaces, spectacular gardens, and landscaped grounds. With personalized attention and care options provided by our skilled nursing staff, the seniors at German Centre live life to the fullest every day. Residents enjoy worry-free living in a comfortable and nurturing environment. Above all, our dedicated staff of professionals is committed to respecting the dignity of each resident, while providing personal care in a warm, inviting atmosphere.

Long Term Rehabilitation Services

Our dedicated and compassionate staff offer exceptional care that creates a wonderful sense of community and family. Working in close partnership with residents and families, we provide the highest caliber of care every single day. Specialized therapies include cardiac rehabilitation, orthopedic conditions, pulmonary rehabilitation, heart failure, wound care, neurological conditions, and complex medical conditions. Medication management as well as access to an on-site physician and nurse practitioner are provided to residents.

Nutritional Program

Good nutrition is essential for maintaining a healthy lifestyle and developing a positive outlook. Our licensed dietician plays an integral role in every resident’s care plan and the culinary staff works creatively and collaboratively to help residents benefit from and fully enjoy mealtimes. We strive to be creative as we look for ways to present meals that are diverse, delicious, and healthy. Often, musicians perform during the afternoon meal to further enhance residents’ dining experiences. Our registered dietician and dietary technicians work closely with the skilled nursing team to assure the best possible outcome – that residents receive the food they like and the nutrition they need.

We offer a comprehensive recreational program tailored to meet residents’ individual desires and ability level. Our programs include exercise and movement groups, pet therapy visits, cognitive fitness groups such as trivia and word games, lectures, classes and guest speakers, sensory stimulation activities, and expressive therapy.
