In March of 1901, Rev. Dr. S. Stanley Searing (a friend of Rev. Thomas Gallaudet, son of Rev. Thomas Hopkins Gallaudet, who helped establish the American School for the Deaf in Hartford, Connecticut) met with a group of men to discuss the need to establish a home to care for Deaf and Deafblind elders in New England.
Donations from our friends provide New England Homes for the Deaf with the financial assistance we need to continue providing our residents with the best available care and quality of life. If you prefer to make your contribution by check, please mail it to New England Homes for the Deaf, 154 Water Street, Danvers, MA 01923.
New England Homes for the Deaf (NEHD), founded in 1901, is a non-profit life-plan community that offers a continuum of care for Deaf and Deafblind elders, including independent and supportive housing, short and long-term rehabilitation services, a skilled nursing community, respite and hospice care.
The Thompson House, a HUD subsidized Independent Living Facility on the campus of New England Homes for the Deaf, is the first residential complex in the Northeast designed especially for Deaf and Deafblind seniors. Under the leadership of the New England Homes for the Deaf, the Thompson House was conceived to promote independence and accessibility for the deaf.
NEHD offers post-operative care with services including short-term physical therapy, occupational therapy, feeding/swallowing therapy and respiratory therapy to anyone referred by a hospital or doctor. Rehabilitation at our facility will allow you to reach your goals for discharge and maximize independence in a beautiful, comfortable and therapeutic setting.

Could been better: staff attitude , lack of friendly staffs I’m coda I heard nurses talking bad about deaf residents who lived /current living in the nursing home… it worries me about my family member whose had complained constantly about the staffs. If it was up to me I would’ve taken my family member out of there and place in better place than this one .

I dont know what else to really say I know my friends father lived here for year and he seemed happy. The staff and tenants always seem polite.
