Beautiful building friendly people all around. I went for a SHINE counseling session. Very helpful. I believe I will be returning to see what else Beverly COA has to offer. Very impressed

I've haven't been there yet, only the ride, to and from the bank. Tried calling a few times last week for another ride. Left messages but didn't get a call back from transportation. Not giving up yet, will try again another time...

Lots of daytime activities and nice staff in a clean, well-maintained building, but not widely publicized despite its well done newsletter that is sent to residents. The center is underutilized as the daily activities run to 4 pm which limits access for Senior citizens who are still working. There is an occasional evening event that will focus on age-related concerns. Lots of parking and easy access are positives, too.

Elaine and the ladies are serving hot healthy meals for the seniors. There is Live Big band music, yoga, shoot pool, exercise groups. It is a very nice and friendly place to meet people your own age.
