Bill Paying
The MA Money Management Program has volunteers, who help elders at risk of losing their independence due to their inability to handle their household finances.
Long Term Care Ombudsmen
Ombudsmen are trained volunteers with whom residents of long-term care facilities, or their families, can speak confidentially about matters of concern. Residents can discuss their quality of care, conflicts with staff, financial matters, food preferences, facility policies, and other issues. Ombudsmen advocate on behalf of residents and their families, mediate solutions to various problems, and monitor care and conditions in facilities. They maintain a presence in facilities to insure that the rights of those residents who cannot speak for themselves are protected.
Tax Assistance
Annually, from February through April, AARP and volunteers from SeniorCare RSVP assist taxpayers 60 & older with middle to low income with their tax preparation and filing, providing free tax assistance at over 30 locations throughout the North Shore and Cape Ann.

Transportation is available to self-mobile clients, age 60+ residing in the nine communities within SeniorCare’s jurisdiction: Beverly, Essex, Gloucester, Hamilton, Ipswich, Manchester-by-the-Sea, Rockport, Topsfield and Wenham.
These are just a few of the volunteer opportunities at SeniorCare.
