The Northampton Council on Aging is dedicated to enhancing the quality of life for the city's elder population, 60 and over.

Rooted in its mission is the belief that every elder is a valued member of the community and has a right to a life of dignity while maintaining a maximum level of independence. To meet this goal, the Council on Aging identifies needs and provides a range of programs and services to meet those needs.

The Council on Aging serves as a community focal point around issues of aging and is the liasion to local, state, and federal resources for elders and their families.
