[ View Opportunities ]

We provide practical solutions for long term care issues for seniors 60 years and older and their caregivers. Volunteers expand and complement agency services by making vital connections with homebound elders, many of whom are isolated and in their 80s and 90s.
Description:
Our services promote healthy aging and well-being and help seniors remain living in their own homes safely and independently. Volunteers deliver meals, visit seniors regularly to share life experiences, go grocery shopping or take seniors for personal care errands, drive seniors to critical medical appointments, do bill paying, advise on medical benefits, or serve as Nursing Home Ombudsmen. Opportunities include one time, weekly or monthly commitments on weekdays or weekends for individuals to do on your own, or partner with co-workers, families or friends and share a position. Volunteers can work in most agency programs providing direct service to elders.
Minuteman services are available for seniors of all income levels and include geriatric care management, in-home care, care giver support, homemaker service, personal care, respite care, Alzheimer's support, nursing home assessment and elder protective services. We serve seniors in Acton, Arlington, Bedford, Burlington, Boxborough, Carlisle, Concord, Harvard, Lexington, Lincoln, Littleton, Maynard, Stow, Wilmington, Winchester and Woburn.
History:
Minuteman Senior Services is a private, non-profit agency that has been serving seniors in 16 towns in the northwest Boston area since 1975. We are part of a state and national network of home care agencies, and our Referral and Information department can locate senior care resources for out of state caregivers. Funding for agency operations is primarily by the government, and the rest is from foundations, grants and individual donations.
