TRANSITION PROGRAM
Moving On
After an average stay of 10 months, many of our guests opt to move on to either of our transition programs in Monterey or Boston. When supporting guests in transitioning from residential treatment to more independent residential living, our focus in on helping them retain the skills and resilience they gained while at the Farm. And then, once settled in Boston or Monterey, we support guests in becoming gradually more independent.
Fellside
Fellside, our program located in the suburban neighborhood of Medford, Massachusetts just outside of Boston, is home for 11 guests, making it a great option for those seeking a supportive environment while being within easy reach of all the vocational and educational opportunities available in the city. It's situated on a bus line and is walking distance from various amenities.
*Additionally, it's worth noting that applicants can apply for direct admission to the Boston program without having to go through the residential level of care at Gould Farm.
