Wicked Local
Until last spring, the Tolles Parsons Center was a social hub for many of Wellesley’s seniors. Instead of facing isolation in their homes, they could go to 500 Washington St. to find friendships, a wide variety of programs, help with taxes and health insurance, and a social worker to address personal issues.
But when the COVID-19 pandemic arrived, the center was shut down for in-person patron visits; today, only the fitness center is open, and that on a very limited basis and by appointment only. Other offerings are online.
A core staff, including a director who took over in July and a new assistant director, continue to work at the center, reaching out to seniors about the many virtual activities and programs. Transportation and hot meal delivery are also available an average of 28 meals a week, and a total of 141 in December, according to the director’s report.
