For nearly two decades, North River Home Care has quietly built deep roots in MetroWest even as its headquarters remained on the South Shore. Now, the family-owned agency is making that long-standing relationship official with a new regional office in Wellesley, a move that brings its care coordination, community partnerships, and caregiver support directly into the communities it serves.
North River Home Care (NRHC), a family-owned, non-medical home care agency, has opened its doors at 170 Worcester Street, Suite 201, in Wellesley. The new location provides MetroWest families with a local, staffed home base while complementing the agency’s main office in Norwell, which continues to serve the South Shore.
Although the agency’s origins are on the South Shore, it has been supporting MetroWest families for nearly two decades. Many of its most enduring client relationships and numerous dedicated caregivers call the region home. The new Wellesley office builds on that foundation by embedding a local team in the community, simplifying face-to-face connections for families and professional partners alike.
Since 2007, North River Home Care has focused on helping older adults remain safe, independent, and comfortable in their own residences through personalized in-home care and support services.
“MetroWest families have trusted us with the care of their loved ones for years, and we wanted to be right here beside them,” said Ian Lawson, Director of MetroWest Operations at North River Home Care. “Having a team in Wellesley means we can sit down with families in person, stay closely connected with our community partners, and give our caregivers a place to call home base.”
Lawson leads the Wellesley office, backed by local care coordination and administrative personnel. Care Advisors conduct home visits, listen to what matters most to each family, and help craft a care plan tailored to individual circumstances. NRHC’s in-home assessment is always free, carries no cost or obligation, and remains valid for up to six months, giving families the flexibility to plan on their own timeline.
A Resource for Community Partners
The new location enhances NRHC’s collaboration with assisted living communities, skilled nursing facilities, geriatric care managers, elder law attorneys, hospital discharge planners, and other professionals supporting older adults across the region. Having a nearby office enables the team to meet partners in person, coordinate care more effectively, and act as a familiar local resource.
Being centrally located in Wellesley allows the team to respond more swiftly throughout MetroWest and maintain closer ties with the professionals and facilities families rely on during critical care decisions.
A Home Base for Caregivers
The Wellesley office also provides NRHC’s MetroWest caregivers with a dedicated space to meet, train, and connect with the team in their own community. North River Home Care is actively seeking compassionate caregivers throughout the region, offering competitive pay, flexible schedules, and ongoing support.

Why it matters: As the demand for in-home elder care continues to grow, having a physical presence in the communities served is increasingly vital for building trust and coordinating care.
