Senior Connection is honored to receive the 2026 Excellence in Advocacy Award from the Massachusetts Council of Nonprofits.

This recognition reflects our commitment to meeting older adults and families where they are, transforming advocacy into action through innovative programs like Care Express, which brings healthcare directly to isolated seniors across 61 communities. Thank you to our team, board, partners, and the individuals and families who inspire our work every day.

Need a ride to the barbershop or dentist? Senior Connection has partnered with Yellow Cab to make it easier than ever for older adults to access complimentary barber and dental services using free transportation.

If you're unable to visit one of our Barber Connect bus locations throughout Central Massachusetts, we can arrange Yellow Cab transportation at no cost to and from The Grease Barbershop at 807 Main Street in Worcester. To schedule a barbershop visit and cab transportation, email Senior Connection at [email protected] or call us at 508-852-5539.

Cuts, care and connection—without transportation standing in the way.
