Healthy Malden's Elder Task Force

Healthy Malden

Elder Task Force – The Elder Task Force is a collaborative effort between HMI, citizens, and representatives of local senior service agencies.

The Elder Task Force serves as a group to identify improvements needed in the area of elder services and responds with possible strategies. Past examples have included a partnership with Philips Lifeline and Hallmark Health System to provide free Lifeline installation, activation, and two-month subscription for any Malden resident who would like the service. We have also done File of Life services for Malden residents and plan on offering a Yellow Dot program soon. Sign up for Task Force updates to learn more about Healthy Malden's Elder Task Force!

Elder Scholarships

Healthy Malden

Thanks to a grant from the Marshall Foundation, Healthy Malden's Elder Task Force offers the Elder Fund for seniors in great financial need. If a Malden senior has exhausted all other means of paying for an unexpected bill, they may, through a sponsor, apply for financial assistance of up to $1,000 from the Elder Task Force.

In the last three years, Healthy Malden's Elder Fund has supported seniors with nearly $52,000 worth of services.
