*NEW* Montville Senior Center’s New Homemaker Program

Posted on December 29, 2023 by Montville

The Montville Senior Center Homemaker Program proposes to provide FREE in home services to our seniors in the Town of Montville. This program is made possible with a grant received from Senior Resources with Title III funds made available under the Older Americans Act. Seniors would get an initial overall cleaning and then weekly or bi-weekly maintenance cleaning. Seniors who are physically or financially unable to afford this service and it is essential for their health and well-being would likely qualify for this new service.

Please call Kathie at 860-848-0422 for details and/or appointments.
