Brookline Senior Center
93 Winchester Street, Brookline
Welcome
We believe that Brookline's older residents should remain in the homes they cherish and among the friends and neighbors who care about them, and whom they care deeply about.
The twofold purpose of BrooklineCAN is to
- Promote services and activities — some existing, some new — to enable independent living
- Ensure that all older Brookline residents have the opportunity to remain a vital part of the town's social, cultural and civic life.
This website is a clearing house of information detailing Brookline's extensive network of services and activities that help make our town an eminently livable community. Here you will find the abundance of social, educational, and recreational programs that can enrich our lives, build a sense of community, and make our town an even better place for all.
