Founded in 1978
Massachusetts’ first adult day health center
The Community Family (TCF) was founded in 1978 by a group of local group of families and professionals who were concerned about lack of community-based alternatives to nursing home care. The Everett Center was one of Massachusetts’ first adult day health centers. It quickly demonstrated the effectiveness and affordability of adult day health care – a novel approach to providing care at the time. Several years later, guided by the belief that adult day health services could successfully care for those with dementia, The Community Family opened one of the nation’s first Alzheimer’s adult day health programs in Medford in 1981. This center remains one of the few memory loss centers operating in Massachusetts. In 2019, TCF assumed operation of the Dutton Adult Day Health Center located in Wakefield. Before this the Dutton Center operated by Hallmark Health System for more than two decades.

Compassionate Care…
Above and Beyond
TCF’s comprehensive services delivered in a home-like environment is a distinguishing characteristic that gives us a unique role in the continuum of long-term care services. Through more than four decades of service, TCF has maintained its “family feel” and tradition of individualized and compassionate care . . . above and beyond for participants and their families. We look forward to continuing to serve these same people and communities for many more years to come.
