Community Nurse

Founded in 1916, Community Nurse began as a single nurse providing care by bicycle and has grown into a 5-star team of approximately 150 dedicated professionals. We are an independent, not-for-profit home health care and hospice agency serving southeastern Massachusetts, delivering a continuum of quality services through highly skilled clinicians. Our mission prioritizes patient care above all, with a focus on empowering individuals to remain in their homes while receiving personalized recovery plans. We collaborate closely with doctors and hospitals to tailor services to each patient's unique needs, maintaining the highest standards of care as evidenced by our consistent 5-star CMS ratings. Our team includes nurses, therapists, social workers, and volunteers who provide comprehensive nursing, rehab, and palliative services.

We also offer community support programs addressing social well-being and safety, funded through charitable donations that ensure no eligible patient is turned away. Our commitment to excellence is reflected in exceptional patient satisfaction metrics, including 100% timely care initiation and 91% recommendation rates. We accept Medicare, Medicaid, and private insurance while maintaining transparency in communication and care delivery. As a trusted local institution, we combine over a century of experience with innovative approaches to home health care and hospice services.
