Metro Transport helps older adults around community

Metro Transport provides transportation to elderly and disabled clients for both medical and social purposes regardless of their ability to pay. The project – a community-wide, collaborative effort between five Jewish community agencies – began in response to the realization that lack of access to appropriate, affordable transportation is one of the most serious issues facing seniors.  more

   MetroWest CARES meeting needs of older adults

MetroWest CARES works to create a continuum of care, so that older MetroWest community members are able to remain independent and in their own homes for as long as possible. When more support is needed, coordination between MetroWest CARES agencies enables connections to a network of services in the Jewish community.  more
