Fall is the deadline that fills Brookletts Place — art, exercise, cooking, day trips, caregiver support, and the Medicare counseling that matters in October. Membership is listed as free for people 60 and older. A hard Talbot-residency rule is not clearly posted; call the center if you live over the line.
The computer lab did not open this summer. Upper Shore Aging opened it in December 2023 after a $33,356 T-Mobile Hometown Grant — one of 25 awards that quarter — with 20 stations open to the wider community, not only members. That is the same lab, and the same 2023 opening, reported in the Patriot's Brookletts Place membership piece. The lab is still the excuse to walk through the door if the exercise class is not.
SHIP counseling at the center serves Medicare beneficiaries of any age; the 60+ gate is membership, not the counseling. Upper Shore Aging also holds respite funds and support groups for people who are taking care of someone else. The center on Brookletts Avenue remains the county's main answer to isolation. Use it.
If you can drive another senior, you have already volunteered.
