Our goal is to help seniors remain safe and independent in their homes for as long as possible. Services available include:
- Meals on Wheels
- Social Services Coordination
- Handicap Placards
- SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program)

This cost-effective program (for local area residents) allows the caregiver much needed personal time for themselves, out of the house, getting a break, while the Client receives supervision through activities, a light meal (if needed) and companionship. The program is managed by a Companion Coordinator with an experienced staff of Companions available to meet the needs of each client. For more information, call April Hunt at 978-788-6174 or ahunt@ChelmsfordMA.gov.
