Expert Aging Support from Senior Care Managers in Boston
Boston has some of the best hospitals in the world. What it doesn't have is anyone making sure aging adults don't fall through the cracks between them. Alder has been working alongside Boston families since 1993. We assign a local senior care expert to assess your situation, build a plan, coordinate everyone involved, and make sure the right things actually happen. You stay in control. We handle the complexity.

How Alder works
1 Schedule your free introductory call
Connect with Alder to discuss your unique situation and discover how our aging experts can help you navigate the complexities of aging with confidence and peace of mind.
2 Get a personalized assessment and care plan
One of Alder's experienced life care managers — a registered social worker or nurse with specialized training — will work closely with you to understand your needs, preferences, and goals.
3 Receive ongoing guidance
Your life care manager becomes your partner in care, providing continuous support as your needs change. We're here for you, whether you need short-term help or long-term guidance.
Boston's concentration of world-class medical institutions is genuinely exceptional, but it doesn't solve the coordination problem. Families often assume that having a parent near MGH or Brigham and Women's means they'll be well looked after. While the care inside those walls usually is excellent, the challenge is everything that happens outside of them, after discharge. That's the gap Alder fills.
Yes — and we encourage families to start earlier than they think they need to. Quality assisted living and memory care in and around Boston fills quickly, and rushed decisions in a crisis can lead to poor outcomes. We know the communities in Boston, Brookline, Newton, Needham, and the surrounding suburbs firsthand. We can tell you which ones are genuinely excellent, which have waitlists, and which are the right fit for your specific situation.
Many Boston seniors have lived in the same neighborhood, sometimes the same building, for decades, and the prospect of leaving is genuinely distressing. Alder can help assess whether aging in place is realistic, what it would take to make it work, and when it's time to have a different conversation. We approach this carefully and with respect for your parent's wishes.
A home care agency provides hands-on care, such as help with bathing, meals, and medication management. Alder manages the bigger picture: assessing your loved one's full situation, coordinating across all the providers involved (including home care), attending key appointments, navigating hospital transitions, and making sure nothing falls through the cracks. Many of our clients use home care — we help them find the right agency and make sure it's actually working.
This is exactly what we're built for. Alder serves as your local presence, attending appointments, coordinating providers, and keeping you informed so you're never managing your parent's care from a distance with incomplete information. You stay in control. We handle the day-to-day.
If you're spending significant time coordinating doctors, managing logistics, navigating family disagreements, or simply feeling like things are starting to slip — those are the signs. Most families who find Alder say they wish they had reached out sooner. A free introductory call is the easiest way to find out if we're the right fit for your situation.
