A History of Serving

Worcester For Over

100 Years

In 1874 the original Goddard House was founded and built by a group of prominent Worcester citizens who realized the importance of a home that would provide care and security for those unable to live alone. The building was a home for elderly men until 1989, when it was modernized, renovated, and expanded to offer 36 rental units for independent older adults. Homestead Hall started as a home for women in the early 1900’s and was incorporated in 1910. In 1983 Goddard House was combined with nearby Homestead Hall under one management to offer a continuum of care.
