Council on Aging

Overview

The Milton Council on Aging (COA) is a town department comprised of a nine-member board appointed by the Select Board. It was established in 1980 to respond to the needs of Milton's older adults and to enhance their quality of life. Working together with the director, staff, and volunteers, the COA provides programs and services for residents 60 years and over. It also assists family members with information and referrals on elder issues. The COA Center is a focal point in the community for information and activities. Ongoing interest groups include coffee hours, cribbage, knitting, mahjong, card games, sketching, tech support, ukulele, watercolor, and much more. Health and Wellness classes include chair yoga, core strength, hiking, line dancing, strength training, tai chi, walking, ZUMBA gold, and reflexology.
