Cambridge At Home was founded by Cambridge residents on the model of the path-breaking Beacon Hill Village in Boston. Demographic trends and evolution in the elder care industry make it clear that an association like Cambridge at Home is, for many, both desirable and even necessary. The success of Beacon Hill Village shows that such an organization can achieve stability as a business. The thousands of responses to publicity about Beacon Hill Village show that the desire for such organizations is widespread across the U.S. and overseas. The interest has been demonstrated in Cambridge as well by heavy attendance at city- sponsored information sessions about "aging in place".

Cambridge At Home is a cooperative community formed to ensure the timely availability of services similar to those of a retirement community. We have a professional staff that provides members with access to evaluated suppliers who provide prompt service at known costs. This centralized service means that members have timely help available as challenges or emergencies arise at home. With a phone call or an email, CAH members get help from friendly, competent staff in areas like transportation, health, social activities and home maintenance so they can remain safely and confidently in their homes as they age.

Our mission is to create for our members peace of mind so that they can continue to enjoy urban life in a multi-generational and multi-cultural setting.

Cambridge At Home is a nonprofit incorporated in the state of Massachusetts.
