Mark Goldberg of Beverly Farms laughs with his son, Matthew, 38 while at Bridgewell, a new group home in Beverly. There are 5 men that range in age from 38 to 72, who have previously spend most of their adult lives in an institutional nursing home. Three are nonverbal inlcuding Matthew, who suffered brain damage from a motocycle accident when he was 21, and another man has cerebral palsy. Since coming to Bridgwell, they've had a much better quality of life. Photo by Deborah Parker/July 7, 2009
