Marathon Nursing Transitions to Team Select Home Care

BOSTON—Team Select Home Care, a national provider of in-home private duty nursing services, announced the next chapter in its acquisition of Marathon Nursing, which was finalized in April 2025. Beginning this month, the Massachusetts-based provider will now operate publicly as Team Select Home Care, formerly Marathon Nursing.

“This is about more than a name,” said Fred Johnson, CEO of Team Select Home Care. “It’s about building on Marathon’s strong local foundation while bringing in Team Select’s national support and infrastructure. Together, we are better equipped to serve families and empower caregivers across Massachusetts.”

Led by Peter Farrell-Marcellino, a long-standing leader at Marathon and now director of operations under Team Select, the team continues to serve patients across both urban and suburban communities.

The Boston-based team is CHAP accredited and provides a range of high-touch homecare services, including:

• Continuous Skilled Nursing (CSN)
• Private Duty Nursing (PDN)
• Complex Care Assistants (CCA) – a Family CNA Program
• School Nursing / 1:1 Non-Clinical Support

They serve primarily pediatric patients, as well as adults with complex medical needs, and support families from diverse backgrounds, particularly English, Spanish and Haitian Creole-speaking households. The team employs registered nurses, licensed practical nurses and complex care assistants trained to deliver personalized in-home care.

As Team Select Home Care, the company said the team formerly known as Marathon Nursing will continue delivering care without disruption. Local leadership, staff and caregivers remain in place, now with access to more resources, infrastructure and support.

What’s new:

• Increased recruiting and employee benefits to attract and retain clinicians
• Upgraded systems and tools to streamline operations and training
• A broader platform to serve more families across Massachusetts

“We’re thrilled to officially welcome the Marathon team into this next chapter,” said Jennifer Frankito, chief marketing officer at Team Select. “They’ve built something special, and we’re honored to grow it together.”

The agency will continue operating as Team Select Home Care, formerly Marathon Nursing through September 2025. On October 1, 2025, the organization will fully transition to the Team Select Home Care name.
