Council on Aging Programs

The Council on Aging continues our ongoing commitment to provide programs emphasizing education, wellness, and recreation. These include creative and social classes, educational and exercise programs, special events and trips and opportunities for socialization, independent activities and learning. The Compass Newsletter is a great way to get an overview of what is offered monthly. For an online .pdf copy, follow this link Compass Newsletter.

The Center at the Heights is located at 300 Hillside Avenue in Needham. It is the COA's home for aging services in our community. It is the gateway to information and resources that support and enable a multigenerational group (ages ranging from 60 to over 100) to maintain health, independence, and optimal levels of functioning in many aspects of life. We fulfill this role by offering relevant curriculum and assistance for residents of all ages. Some of the services and programs provided to meet the goals of the Council on Aging include, but are not limited to: outreach and counseling services, advocacy, transportation, daily meals, information and referral, health benefits counseling, volunteer opportunities, health and wellness information and screening.
