Council on Aging
Mission Statement: The mission of the Brewster Council on Aging is to support and advocate for older adults and their families by providing programs, services, and resources that promote independent living and quality of life.
Hours: Monday to Friday, 8am to 4pm. Closed weekends and holidays.
Building: Our building was built in 1881 as the Town Hall. Most people recognize our building as the “Big, Historic, Yellow Victorian Building” next door to the Fire Station.
The Council on Aging Board consists of Brewster residents who advocate for seniors to help maximize their independence and quality of life. They support programs and services to meet seniors’ health, economic, intellectual, social, and cultural needs.
