Brookline Council on Aging

The Brookline Council on Aging’s (COA) Senior Center is indisputably one of the most active centers in Massachusetts. We provide a vast selection of FREE programs and services (in the areas of health, fitness, learning, art, socialization, nutrition, and recreation). We have a fully equipped supervised on-site Fitness Center, as well as varied health and exercise related programs and services, including clinics for podiatry, blood pressure, hearing, and health support.

"Our goal is to help seniors maintain their independence and continue to be or become active members of their community.”

The Brookline COA/Senior Center's social workers, staff and 250+ volunteers work with other Town agencies and community service providers to enhance the quality of life for our seniors and to assist them with transportation, food, housing, and their health. We help them access benefit programs, including fuel assistance, food security, SNAP, AARP Tax Preparation, information and referral, legal assistance with identifying health insurance options for Medicare eligible individuals (SHINE), and transportation, as well as providing bereavement, job search, depression, Alzheimer's caregiver, and low vision support.
