A History of Dedication

Since 1974, Central Boston Elder Services (CBES) has been dedicated to promoting elder independence in Boston while respecting their dignity and well-being. Founded by local community leaders and elder advocates, our agency emerged to address the needs of an underserved minority population in the urban center. As a non-profit organization, CBES is the only Minority Business Enterprise (MBE) among the 24 eldercare agencies, contributing to our communities' social and economic development.

Guided by our philosophy, CBES is committed to delivering high-quality, responsive, supportive services and programs for the elderly, disabled individuals, and caregivers. Our governance structure includes an elected board of directors, with 51 percent representation from elders and 49 percent from professionals and providers. We tirelessly connect individuals to the care they need, fostering independence and well-being.

As we celebrate our 50th anniversary, CBES remains steadfast in our mission to serve and connect our clients to the care they deserve.
