The Cambridge Council on Aging (COA) works to promote and support the health and independence of Cambridge adults age 60 and older. Through our two Senior Centers, located in Central Square and North Cambridge, we offer a variety of recreational classes, monthly support and discussion groups, special events and guest speakers, trips in and around New England, technology support, and other opportunities that help enhance seniors’ lives. We also offer Medicare consultations and provide referrals to local agencies to support the health, wellness, and safety of seniors.
We welcome seniors to spend time in our Senior Centers connecting with others, enjoying a meal, or engaging in a class or activity. Our staff are happy to assist seniors on a walk-in basis or by appointment.

Cambridge residents who are 65 or older (or their caregivers) can schedule a free SHINE Program consultation through the Council on Aging by calling COA at 617-349-6220.
