Mashpee Senior Center: Activities, Medicare Counseling & Resources
To streamline the coordination of activities at the Mashpee Senior Center, residents can preregister for events through My Active Center, accessible at myactivecenter.com or via the town's website, mashpeema.gov. This registration platform also provides access to newsletters, and replacements for lost key tags can be obtained at the center.
The center will not be operational on July 3 in observance of Independence Day. For Mashpee residents needing guidance on Medicare, the SHINE (Serving the Health Insurance Needs of Everyone) program offers weekly counseling on Thursdays. This service provides expert advice on Medicare plans, prescription coverage, cost-saving strategies, and enrollment prerequisites. Appointments can be scheduled by calling 508-539-1440, with further details available at capecod.gov.
An informative session on bone health is set for June 25, offering insight into osteoporosis and prevention strategies, while a Pilates Foam Roller class continues through late June, focusing on fitness exercises. A series exploring U.S. First Ladies, based on J.B. West's "Upstairs at the White House," is scheduled for multiple dates. Attendees can engage in discussions and presentations related to historical insights.
Massage therapy is available in short sessions on select days throughout the summer, aiming to alleviate tension. Additionally, programs like "Not-So-Scary Species" and "Drums Alive" contribute to a diverse array of educational and recreational options, each with specific session dates and requirements.
The center promotes digital literacy through courses spanning July to August, designed to enhance technological proficiency for varying skill levels. Several activities necessitate advance reservations, such as medical and legal services, which can be arranged by contacting the center directly.
