At Newton at Home, we believe that aging in place should also mean staying connected, curious, and active. That’s why we offer a rich and ever-evolving calendar of programs, events, and outings designed to bring our members together, support social connection, and add joy to everyday life.

We also host seasonal gatherings and community celebrations, giving members, volunteers, and staff a chance to come together in joy and connection.
Accessible & Member-Centered
Our programs are shaped by member interests and feedback, and we make it a priority to offer options for everyone—whether you prefer to join from home, meet in person, or do a bit of both. Whatever your interests, you'll find welcoming spaces to connect, explore, and enjoy community.
