The Newburyport Council on Aging helps local seniors in many ways. The council’s health and wellness program includes blood pressure checks, foot care, hearing checks, exercise groups, and health insurance counseling. They also provide various forms of tax assistance, financial planning, and legal assistance. Advocacy, low vision support, and telephone reassurance are all also available. Seniors can attend a local knitting group as well, where they knit gifts for infants born at a nearby hospital. As long as 24-hours’ notice is provided, a shuttle is available to provide transportation to Newburyport seniors to medical appointments, shopping, banking, or any other needs. If you are looking for senior housing options, please review our assisted living facilities in Newburyport.
