A Council on Aging is a local or regional organization dedicated to supporting the needs and well-being of older adults in the community. These councils typically provide resources, advocacy, and a variety of services such as meal programs, transportation, social activities, and assistance with healthcare or housing. Their goal is to help seniors maintain independence, stay active, and access the support they need as they age. Councils on Aging often collaborate with local governments, nonprofits, and healthcare providers to fulfill their mission.
