Council on Aging

COA-Our Mission Banner

Our Mission:


The Council on Aging is charged with advocating on behalf of older adults in Belmont. We collaborate with other town departments and committees as well as community service providers to enhance the quality of life for seniors. We respond to their concerns, seeking to educate the community at large about the needs of older adults while designing, promoting, and implementing services and programs that enhance their general well-being.
