The City’s Senior Services information provides a starting point for local contacts, separate from private businesses listed on CareProximity.

Licensing note: For covered work on an existing owner-occupied, non-commercial Massachusetts home with one to four units, residential contractors generally need Home Improvement Contractor registration. This is different from a Construction Supervisor License; requirements depend on the work. Ask Watertown’s building or inspectional services department which permits and qualifications apply before work starts. Construction registration does not establish qualifications for care, wellness or transportation services. Ask any provider for proof of licensing, bonding, and insurance before work begins.
