by | Mar 14, 2024 | News

Hopkinton Senior Services, in collaboration with the University of Massachusetts Boston, is conducting a needs assessment to examine the lived experiences and anticipated needs of adults in the community.

The organization is seeking residents 50 years or older who would talk about experiences aging in Hopkinton. A focus group is scheduled for Wednesday, April 3, at the Hopkinton Senior Center to hear and learn from community members. This conversation will help create community based interventions to support older adults.

The discussion will be facilitated by Dr. Sue Berger of the Gerontology Institute at the University of Massachusetts Boston and will last no more than 90 minutes.

Anyone interested or with specific needs related to participation can obtain additional information by contacting Berger directly at susan.berger001@umb.edu.
