Serving the community since 1887, Roxborough Home for Women provides personal care services for women in a nurturing, caring, and homelike setting. As a personal care home, The Roxborough Home for Women operates 24/7, providing private rooms, meals, laundry services, and light housekeeping for its residents. Our trained, professional staff administers all medications, assists the women with their daily personal needs, and participates in activities led by our caring staff and volunteers. Our commitment to valuing every individual as a unique and integral part of our community creates a diverse and welcoming atmosphere for both residents, staff, and our community of volunteers. Our residents are independent, and our staff are here to assist when needed. We are not assisted living; we are a personal care home that has prided itself on a legacy of care since we opened over 100 years ago.
Overview
Most residents furnish their own rooms, bringing personal belongings and mementos, making their new home more comfortable and familiar. Our rooms are cable and telephone ready. We encourage visitors. Lovely indoor and outdoor porches are available as well as other areas to socialize. Guests are welcomed from 9 am to 9 pm, and residents are free to visit and take vacations with family or friends outside of the Home.
