Narrative

Friendship Home’s Home Away from Home overnight respite center provides short stays (1 night to 2 weeks) for adults with developmental disabilities (ages 18 and older). Our guests experience a sense of independence as they spend time with friends and negotiate activities and chores in a small group environment.  Their families are given an opportunity to attend to other priorities knowing that their loved ones are receiving great care and enjoying themselves at our Home Away from Home and in the community. If you would like to learn more about our program, please contact Michael Gaffey at (781)-659-8202. All guests must complete an in-take process with our staff before they can stay.
