CHELSEA COMMUNITY SENIOR SERVICES (C2S2)
The Chelsea Senior Center is proud to offer services beyond our walls. Since 2013, we've worked to help local seniors remain independent in their own homes by providing them access to needed services. We use volunteers and referrals to vetted and discounted service providers to meet requests for in-home care, house cleaning, handyman services, and more.

Reflective Address Sign & Lock Box Programs
CSC partners with the Chelsea Area Fire Authority to make these available to local seniors:
The Reflective Address Sign is a highly visible (day or night) customized sign displaying your address that will assist emergency vehicles in locating your home. The resident is responsible for the installation of the sign.
The Lock Box is attached to your home and securely stores a spare key to your residence, so emergency responders called to your residence have the ability to access the key and enter to provide assistance without having to force down your door.These boxes are registered with and installed at no cost by CAFA staff.
To register for either of these programs, call CSC at 734-475-9242 or email us at Connected@ChelseaSeniors.org
