1. What kind of programs or services do you offer?

Consumers want to know if we have anyone on staff who can counsel them relative to finances, housing, mental health issues, health insurance, legal problems, medical needs, and abuse or neglect issues.

Usually this information is compiled for a parent, a neighbor or for an individual. In some instances, this request comes from an area business. (Local merchants have contacted us regarding their concerns for an older resident.)

The Center has trained staff in the Social Service / Outreach Department who can assist you with these issues.

2. What is the schedule of the Blood Pressure Clinic?

Blood pressure is taken on Wednesdays from 9:30 am to 12:30 pm. There is no charge for these services.

3. Do you have transportation?

The public transportation system, The LIFT, stops at the Center lobby door several times a day for picking up and dropping off seniors. Maps showing the location of pick up and drop off times are available.

There are other transportation systems available to residents of Framingham. Please call the Center for more details about The Ride, Busy Bee Transportation System, and Dial a Ride.
