Council on Aging Activities in Response to the Coronavirus

In accordance with the guidance received from Public Health Officials, the Rehoboth Senior Center is suspending all optional group gatherings. This includes the various group activities offered at the Center, as well as, Gert’s Café, Tuesday Lunch, Wednesday Breakfast, and Men’s Coffee, and the Senior Citizens Club Meetings.

The Board of Selectmen has directed the Senior Center to remain fully staffed and available during regularly scheduled hours to assist with health insurance, fuel assistance, and any other concerns or questions our Seniors may have during this time. The tax preparation program offered in conjunction with the AARP is discontinued at this time.

The Meals on Wheels Program will continue each day unless cancelled by Bristol Elder Services, Inc. (BESI). Seniors will be notified directly by BESI if this changes.

We urge our Senior population to reach out to Linna, Brad, and Kim with questions, needs, or concerns ~ these dedicated people will be able to help. Or, maybe you just need a friendly person to talk with during this uncertain period. Sometimes a brief conversation helps to put things into perspective.

The Selectmen’s Office is in contact with local, state, and federal public health and public safety agencies on a daily basis and will be monitoring and adjusting the Town’s response to the COVID-19 situation as appropriate.
