Sherrill House Description
Sherrill House is a highly acclaimed 164-bed not-for-profit skilled nursing and rehabilitation center committed to meeting the changing needs of our community.
Founded by Trinity Church Home, we are proud to offer three specialized care programs, including short-term rehabilitation through our Return to Homeâ„¢ program, traditional long-term care, and our Special Care Program for individuals with Alzheimer's and dementia.
With a multi-year expansion and renovation completed in 2007, our state-of-the-art facility has even more ways to give our patients and residents the best care. Now more than ever, Sherrill House is Boston's best place to get better.
Sherrill House is the culmination of more than one hundred years of exceptional care.

We are proud of our tradition of excellence, and we remain committed to continuously improving our staff, services, and programs to best meet the needs of those we serve.
