    AUTOMATED CALLS FROM THE SENIOR CENTER

    The all call system that is used by GSC has been updated to better serve you. You will now see our Groton Senior Center main phone number come up. That number is 860-441-6785. The center only uses this system for program information (emergency cancellations, center, program and trip information).

     

    Our calls are not used to sell anything, advertise any events nor programs and we will not sell your number to a third party. If you block our number, you will not get these notifications. If you need help changing a blocked number, please ask the center staff.  In addition, please listen to the whole message and confirm it at the end or the system will consider this a hang up and contact you again.  Thank you for your consideration.

     

    GSC Transportation Changes

    GSC Transportation Changes

    The following changes to medical transportation have been made:

    ¨ Morning appointments must be made at 9:00, 9:30 or 10:00am.

    ¨ Afternoon appointments must be made at 1:00, 1:30 or 2:00pm.

    ¨ The center will not be able to take appointments at other times because it is difficult to get everyone where they need to be on time.

    ¨ If you have a 10am or a 2pm appointment and are not ready by 11:30am or by  3:30pm, you must use another transportation option to get home.

    ¨ You are responsible for telling your doctor’s office when you have transportation available for  appointments.
