Nonotuck
Nonotuck was established in 1972 as a group living home for individuals with disabilities. As the ideal models of care have evolved, so have Nonotuck’s services, with perhaps the biggest leap being the shift from group homes to shared living.
Shared living has its roots in the L’Arche movement, founded in 1964 in France. Inspired by the L’Arche communities he had visited, Nonotuck CEO George Fleischner introduced the concept to the communities served by Nonotuck in 1987. As group homes were phased out, their residents moved in with families in a shared living relationship and became cherished and respected members of their households and communities.
Nonotuck offers Shared Living, Adult Family Care and individualized day services for people with disabilities. Each of our services is dedicated to our mission of providing people with disabilities a choice, a voice and the opportunity to live authentic lives.
We provide support and services at locations in Boston and across Massachusetts and we are the largest shared living organization in the state.
