Our mission is to serve as the Resource Center for the community's elders and their caregivers. We provide services and programs that include health, education, nutrition, recreation, transportation, and advocacy for elders.

What We Do and Who We Serve

We serve elders and their caregivers located in Clinton, Massachusetts. Our Center is open from 8:30 am to 3:30 pm, Monday to Friday. Individuals may drop in and take part in a variety of programs and activities. Lunch is served daily during the week. We also help provide resources and information about a variety of issues facing our community and individuals. Individualized consultations with a social worker are also available upon request. We are here to help. Please drop by or call us.

 
Thoughts from the Director for May and June 
Your Senior Center – A place to belong! Father’s day and Mother’s day is a time for us to remember those that parented us while celebrating with family and friends. It is also a time to think about how you can contribute to the village of parenting needed by others. Those of you in the boomer category may have new found time on your hands that could turn into meaningful service to the community. Think about volunteering in one of our programs!

Memorial day is a day to remember the men and women who have died serving in the United States Armed Forces. These are the ultimate volunteers that have given their lives to us to preserve our democracy and we can never thank them or their families enough. Clinton has one of the finest memorial and parade events around demonstrating the highest respect for our Veterans. Finally, come enjoy the annual summer BBQ at the HOME, our future senior center and enjoy the company of good friends, old memories, great views and young volunteers.

Sincerely Submitted,
Kathi
