The Braintree Council on Aging is the officially designated agency to evaluate, promote and encourage new and existing activities and services for the older residents of our Community in order to promote their self reliance, independence and aging in place as long as possible. A Community Focal Point, the COA is a highly visible place where anyone can receive information and services, or have access to all of our community resources. For family members, friends and neighbors, it is a resource to support their efforts in caring for their elders. For the community at large, it is a place to learn about the needs of older people and the services available to help them plan for a productive, fulfilling and healthy aging.
