ABOUT JP@HOME

JP@Home is a membership-based program of Ethos, a 44-year-old non-profit dedicated to promoting the health, independence, and dignity of older adults and persons with disabilities.

The program is intended for middle income older adults who reside in Jamaica Plain, Roslindale, West Roxbury, Hyde Park, Mission Hill, Roxbury, and Brookline and want to age in place. Members subscribe to JP@Home to receive access to Ethos’ services at discounted rates and numerous social, health, and wellness activities.

JP@HOME IS A VILLAGE

The Village concept aims to “support the medical, functional, emotional, social, and spiritual needs of older adults.” Residents create Villages to help coordinate and deliver services and supports within their communities. Villages reflect their communities through variations in design, capacity, and operation. Many older adults join these Villages because of a desire to remain in their homes and not be dependent on family members and friends.

Beacon Hill Village, established in Boston in 2001, is one of the most recognized models of the Village concept. What started as a group of residents who wanted to receive services and supports in their homes and communities has now evolved into a national movement.

Currently, there are over 360 Village organizations across the United States in operation or development.

What They’re Saying

“I very much look forward to JP@Home’s monthly Men’s Group. I didn’t know any of the other members before joining, but found the group to be open and inviting. Our discussions are inclusive, honest, poignant, and at times, humorous.”

GeneRoslindale

“Thinking about retirement made me nervous—what would I do all day? After going to an information session about JP@Home, I was quite impressed with the friendly people I met and the list of activities. It seemed like there was something for everyone. I am happy to say that I finally did retire. My calendar is full and retirement life is great!”

KathyJamaica Plain

“Recently, I had knee replacement surgery. My new friends were right there checking up on me,
shopping for me, bringing me lunch or dinner. I have felt so blessed, loved and cared for in a way that I never experienced before joining this village community, JP@Home.”
