Senior Services

Update Sept. 27, 2021

The Northampton Senior Center had a soft re-opening on August 2, 2021. We are slowly scaling-up our programs and services over the next couple months. We will be open M-F,  8 a.m. - 4 p.m. for the time being. Changes to these hours will be made on a month by month basis. Additional hours and a return to Saturday morning hours will return pending levels of participation here and based on Department of Health updates regarding safety measures, numbers of Hampshire County cases of Covid-19 and the availability and scheduling of booster shots for older adults. We are currently offering limited programs and services onsite and are requiring each member meet with us for a 15 minute membership renewal/orientation appointment before participating in activities, etc. Please see the info about this below. 

Everyone is required to update their membership before returning to the center!!

Membership Renewals: An essential part of our process for welcoming you back to the building includes going over our Covid safety guidelines, updating your membership information, emergency contact info, obtaining waivers and registering you for the online portal called 'My Active Center' which will allow you to sign up and pay for classes anytime (online). This process will need to be completed before you can start using the center's facilities or attending any programs. It will be quick we promise! Appointments are available every day. To schedule your 15 minute appointment you can either email seniorservices@northamptonma.gov or call 587-1228, option 4.
