Burlington Council on Aging
About
The Burlington Council on Aging is the town’s resource center for adults over 60, offering social services, daily activities and help navigating later life. Its goal is to keep older adults active, independent and engaged, and to help them stay healthy and in their own homes as long as possible. Staff assist people through times of crisis while also running programs meant to prevent crises in the first place, and caregivers are welcome to use its resources too.
A typical week mixes exercise classes, tai chi, American mahjong, acrylic painting, coffee and conversation, table games and a ukulele jam group, along with community luncheons that sometimes feature themed menus such as an Indian lunch. The council welcomes older adults from all walks of life and aims to serve them with respect for the diversity of each person and their identity. Exercise sessions are led by regular instructors, and coffee and conversation mornings give members an easy way to meet others.
