Senior center

Was this review helpful? 0

Needham has a great Senior Center that was renovated recently. The center of town is very walkable, and there is good public transportation (both commuter rail and buses). There is a hospital right in town, and several senior living facilities as well. But housing prices in the area are rising dramatically, and there are not a lot of affordable housing options for those looking to downsize.

Needham Senior Center provides senior newsleters to all residents inviting seniors to a majority of events. Both educational and problem-oriented classes are availiable, some are virtual. The Needham senior center provides meal delivery. With the rising cost of food, this is truely a gift.
In addition, supermarkets in the community have special hours for seniors to shop. Needham has senior housing and transportation services. Also, there is a wonderful, senior volunteer work force and so, a strong senior presence in Needham. I enjoy living and working in Needham and I am sure there are many seniors who would agree.
