Transportation is one of the key elements that the COA has to offer. We are available to take you to local and Boston bound medical appointments. We also offer grocery shopping on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays of the month. The fees are $2 in town, $3 Bellingham, $5 Natick/ Newton, and $25 (+parking and tolls) Boston. Medical appointments always take priority over grocery or other non-essential trips. But we will make arrangements to get you where you need to be as soon as possible. Please call Maureen at 376-7051 for more information.
Fuel Assistance Applications are available at the Center. There are various requirements for different situations, so we strongly urge you to call the Center before you stop by so we may determine what documentation you will need to provide. After filling out the application you will be required to have a sit down meeting with our Outreach worker Carol to ensure you have the proper documentation. You must make an appointment, which could take up to an hour.
Openings ~ Supportive Day Group This is a specifically designed program for elders or disabled individuals who are suffering from mild to moderate cognitive difficulties or who cannot stay at home alone during the day. We strive to enrich the lives of each senior by being a part of the supportive team that allows them to remain healthy, happy and independent. Everyone enjoys our memory enhancement program, chair exercises, board games, trivia, bingo, crafts, cards, music, singing, movies, laughter and more. Call Patty at 376-7051 for more information.
