Hunt Family
Aviary Dedication
|
On Wednesday, April 6th, The Boston Home was proud to welcome the family of Jean and Jim Hunt, Jr. as well as a small circle of close friends, for the dedication of our new aviary.
The aviary is dedicated "in honor of Jean and James W. Hunt, Jr. in loving memory of Matthew Austin Hunt, a beloved resident of The Boston Home."
The aviary is home to a beautiful community of finches and canaries whose daily chatter and activities are a great source of enjoyment and delight for residents and staff.
Thank you, Jim and Jean, for your outstanding commitment to The Boston Home!

Celebrating a Perfect Survey! |
The Boston Home earned high marks on our most recent Department of Public Health survey!
In celebration of earning a perfect survey score, staff were treated to a special luncheon, and staff and residents will be receiving a t-shirt. The t-shirt, which honors the teamwork shown by staff and residents throughout the pandemic, features a beautiful painting of a cresting wave painted by Wanda, a talented resident artist who enjoys participating in the watercolor program.
Congratulations to all and many thanks for your outstanding work!
