Tufts Medicine Care at Home

Philanthropy powers incredible moments. This Giving Tuesday, we’re sharing stories of the impact your generosity creates.

For children receiving care at home, connection is critical.

Care at Home delivers complex medical care to patients in the comfort of their homes, easing anxiety and improving quality of life. But home-based care can also be isolating. Many children facing serious diagnoses can't attend school or interact with peers, leaving them disconnected during an already difficult time.

Thanks to support from the Dunkin' Joy in Childhood Foundation, Care at Home is helping bridge that gap. The Foundation's grant provides interactive gaming devices like Nintendo Switch systems, LeapFrog tablets, PS4 consoles and iPads, each chosen based on the child's age, development and needs.

For immunocompromised children, these devices offer a safe way to stay connected with friends and family. They also give kids a break from focusing on illness and moments to just be kids. As of August 2025, 16 children and their families have received gaming devices. In some cases, siblings have also received devices, recognizing the emotional toll a serious diagnosis can have on the whole family.

For families navigating pediatric home care, these devices represent more than entertainment. They're a lifeline to normalcy, connection and joy during treatment, ensuring children can maintain relationships and childhood experiences even when illness keeps them home.

This Giving Tuesday, please consider a gift to Care at Home to support innovative programs that help our most vulnerable patients heal in the comfort of home. Your gift made by midnight tonight will go twice as far with a generous match!

Linda's sister spent her life caring for those who needed her most.

For nearly two decades, Linda's sister Debi was a full-time, live-in caregiver for a woman with severe disabilities, creating a home where patience and kindness came first. When Debi faced her own serious health challenges, including a brain aneurysm and lung cancer that spread to her brain, Linda wanted that same compassion for her sister.

She found it at Care at Home's High Pointe House. The staff welcomed them like family, managing Debi's pain and creating an atmosphere of quiet dignity. Linda was able to hold her sister's hand, share memories and listen to music they both loved. She could be Debi's sister, not her caregiver.

"I wanted that same compassion for her that she always showed others and I found it at High Pointe House," Linda shares. "That gift of time and presence is something I will cherish forever."

Today, Linda is a donor, giving back to honor Debi's memory and ensure other families can experience the same compassionate care that brought peace and dignity during their most difficult time.

This August we've been selected as the beneficiary of the North Andover Stop & Shop location's Community Bag Program.

Here’s how it works: During the month of August, each time a $2.50 Community Bag is purchased at the 757 Turnpike Street Stop & Shop, $1 will be donated back to us, unless otherwise directed by the Giving Tag.

We're grateful for the support of our local community and look forward to continuing to provide exceptional care to our patients. Thank you to Stop and Shop and our community for your generosity.
