One function of the Elder Services of Worcester Website is to make people aware of our mission, and how our services can assist elders and their families. Another is to make the visitor aware of other important resources in Central Massachusetts and beyond. Each site listed below has a brief description of what it contains, and why we feel it is worthwhile. If you do not find what you are looking for please contact our Information and Referral Department; our staff will assist you in finding those resources you need.
