Councils on Aging, Senior Centers and Centers for Active Living are the municipal agencies that provide local outreach, social and health services, advocacy, information and referral for older adults, their families and caregivers. These community-based agencies serve as advocates, offers services, and provide wellness programs.
Each Town determines its own priorities based on local needs and resources. These centers are a welcoming place for older adults who wish to remain independent in their community. Check out your local center today!
