What we do
Home care agencies provide individuals with trusted and consistent home health services that are tailored to their specific needs. These services may include companionship, assistance with daily living tasks, transportation and errands, and supervision of medical treatment.
In-home care is a popular option for seniors because it is often safer and more affordable than moving into senior living. In-home care also allows families to keep an eye on their loved ones and ensure that they are being well taken care of.
The Department of Social Services manages a variety of public assistance programs, including Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program (food stamps), Temporary Cash Assistance, adoption, foster care, and child protection services. It also administers local programs to assist with education, job training, employment, transitional housing and drug and alcohol rehabilitation. The Board operates under the direction and control of the County Director of the Social Service Administration. (Code Human Services Article, secs. 8-301 through 8-305).

Dorchester is a largely Latino neighborhood that has become a destination for Boston residents seeking affordable housing and an ethnically diverse community. Despite these advantages, the area struggles with a number of social and economic challenges, including high unemployment rates, healthcare disparities, and linguistic and cultural barriers. Despite these issues, many residents in the area continue to live independently in their communities. The City of Dorchester has worked hard to support residents through outreach and assistance programs.
