Shrewsbury is a town in Worcester County, Massachusetts, United States. Shrewsbury, unlike surrounding towns like Grafton, Millbury, Westborough, and Northborough, did not become a mill town or farming village; most of its 19th-century growth was due to its proximity to Worcester and visitors to Lake Quinsigamond. The population was 35,608 according to the 2010 US Census, in nearly 12,400 households.
Incorporated in 1727, the town is governed now under the New England representative town meeting system, headed by the Town Manager and five-member elected Board of Selectmen whose duties include licensing, appointing various administrative positions, and calling a town meeting of citizens annually or whenever the need arises.

To be a caregiver is a calling person who have the passion and ability to work as a caregiver, a person who is more skillful and willing to help the elderly. I know I have the experience but I want to learn more experience to my skills.

I have worked in this town for a while. there are many people who volunteer to help the elderly. The Elder Services work very hard to make sure Elders have transport, there is Meals on Wheels, Social Workers who even call to find out how the elderly are. Neighbors too are very concerned about the aging population.

I live in small town so you don't have much activities, compare to the cities
and everybody are friendly.

Diverse neighbors of all ages. Very accepting of all ages, races, ethnicities. We have medical trainees to retirees, some with children. Town homes are three levels, plus basements, so may not be ideal for older people long term.
