Becoming a home care client begins with a telephone call to Boston Elder INFO (617-292-6211). After that, an Ethos Intake Specialist will set up an appointment to see the elder in their home. The Intake Specialist will ask a number of questions, do a preliminary eligibility determination and work with the elder to develop a care plan.
