The BOSS Awards, presented by South Shore Home, Life & Style Magazine, honor the businesses and organizations voted best in their categories by residents across the South Shore region.
“We are thrilled to be named the winner of the BOSS Award for Best Senior Living Community, and honored to be recognized as runner-up for Best Place to Work in Norwell,” said Maria Lastoria, Executive Director. “These achievements are a true reflection of the incredible dedication, compassion, and teamwork of our staff.
