Newton is a city of distinct village centres, including Newton Centre, Newtonville, Auburndale, Nonantum and West Newton. Planning for an older adult can start with the routines and places that keep them connected to their own village. Newton Older Adult Services provides information, programs, transportation resources and community support, with the Cooper Center for Active Living as its home. These public services are separate from the private providers listed on CareProximity. Consider which tasks need help first, then confirm a provider’s availability, travel range and relevant experience. For changes to the home, check project-specific requirements with Newton Inspectional Services before work begins.

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 Newton’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.
