Outreach Services
The Danvers Senior Center provides a variety of outreach services to the community including Information and Referral for seniors, as well as their caregivers, benefits screening, application assistance, and client advocacy. We also offer programs to educate and empower seniors. Programs include Group Support, SHINE Medicare Counseling, and Danvers Triad. Home visits are available upon request.
In the following are some of the benefits and services for which we can provide information or referrals.
Benefits Checkup is an online tool that screens your eligibility for federal and state benefit programs that are available to help. You can apply for many of the programs online or you can print an application form from the website. You can call the Senior Center for help.
