Brookline provides a broad spectrum of services to meet the needs of residents. The support services available to older Brookline residents are so extensive and so far-reaching that they fill a book, quite literally. The formal title of the book is The Elder Resource Guide, but it is widely referred to as the "purple book," because of its purple cover. In this guide -- from A for Adult Health Care, to W for websites – you will find help navigating through the sometimes bewildering array of programs – local, state and federal – that are of value to older people.
