Category of Service: Seniors

All issues dealing with seniors and aging.  There is the traditional nursing home situation, of which there are many on the North Shore , as well as visiting homebound seniors and those with alzheimers or providing relief to those who are financially strapped.  There is also an opportunity to work with Senior Centers on continuing education programs as well as recreational and entertainment programs.  Cooperative, intergenerational work is both encouraged and planned here.

Many of these agencies have a more detailed description in our 2005 Social Service Directory.
