Hopkinton has a beautiful place called On Golden Pond, it is a Nursing Home Facility which many residents call home. I was a employee there many years ago as a CNA.
It is growing as we speak with a additional Assisted living complex.
Hopkinton also has a Senior Center in town where everyone is so friendly and helpful! They offer craft fairs and a lot of other activities for anyone interested.
I have only lived in Hopkinton for a year and a half, I have no expertise to offer here.
Hopkinton is an emerging age friendly community. This means it is pursuing an age friendly designation.
