Vehicle Theft Prevention

For all of those who own or operate a motor vehicle, this is a friendly reminder to always secure your personal belongings to minimize the likelihood of theft. Remove key fobs from your vehicle upon exit and never leave your car running unattended. Key fobs should be stored inside of your home and not in your garage where they are most easily accessible.

Automatic Telephone and Weather Updates

To update you quickly, we are

using a call feature offered by My Senior center. You may receive a call from a Massachusetts  number (617-855-0125) and it may be marked as “potential spam.” To receive a message on your cell phone, you may have to add “My Senior Center” with this number as a contact or to make sure this number is not blocked. This is the quickest way we’re able to update you on closings, class and program changes, etc.

File of Life

The File of Life is designed to help your Fire Department Paramedics obtain your necessary medical history and emergency contact information in the event of an emergency. Our local EMT’s recommend you carry one in your car and/or purse as well as having one available on your refrigerator. They will look for them.

Always make sure the information is up-to-date. We have them available at the Senior Center.
