Scituate Senior Center

Providing older adults with information, education, stimulation, recreation, socialization, transportation, wellness and outreach

The mission of the Scituate Senior Center is to promote the physical,
intellectual and emotional wellness of our community of older adults
by cultivating connections, fostering independence and
enhancing quality of life.

When calling our main number, 781-545-8870, listen to the automated message to be directed to the appropriate staff person or press "0" for the Front Desk.  Leave any contact information that is helpful, including cell phone and e-mail if you have it.  Please see the Classes and Activities tab for our current programs, many of which require advance sign-ups, including lunch up to two weeks in advance (recommended!).  

Outreach & Wellness Services

Outreach Services are available to the senior (60+) and disabled adult population of Scituate to assist with applications for financial, housing and benefit assistance, including SNAP (Food Stamps), Fuel Assistance, Public Housing, and Medical Insurance, as well as information or referral to South Shore Elder Services' Meals on Wheels and the Scituate Food Pantry. 

We have a SHINE volunteer counselor to assist individuals and couples turning 65 or older with information on Medicare and appropriate health insurance programs for their needs and related health insurance matters. 

We have rotating local attorneys providing complimentary appointments one time per month.

The Town Nurse is with us on the 2nd Friday every month for appointments to check your blood pressure or assist with other questions, including giving B-12 shots if eligible. 

We also offer monthly appointments with providers in Reflexology, Reiki, Medical Foot Care and Manicures/Pedicures for a modest cost.
