The duties of the Council on Aging are to:

1. Identify the total needs of the community's elderly population.

3. Design, promote or implement services to fill these needs, or coordinate present existing services in the community.

4. Promote and support any other programs which are designed to assist the elderly in the community.

The council on Aging works with the Commonwealth of Massachusetts Office of Elder Affairs and is cognizant of all State and Federal legislation concerning funding, information exchange and program planning which exists for better community programming for the elder.
