Stoneham Council on Aging
About
The Stoneham Council on Aging is a department of the Town of Stoneham that runs the town’s Senior Center and serves older residents through programs, services and activities. Its mission is to welcome everyone and meet seniors’ social, nutritional and medical needs with kindness, respect and dignity. The department also connects older adults and their families to resources across the region, from Medicare and Social Security help to legal advice and financial counseling.
The Senior Center is housed in a historic building on Elm Street, just off Main Street. Members can join one another for affordable lunches, take part in games, discussion groups and community gatherings meant to reduce isolation, and learn new skills, while fitness classes, health screenings, nutritional advice and emotional health resources support well-being. Staff are available to talk with members about resources in the community.
