Mission Statement

The Lincoln Council on Aging and Human Services is a welcoming organization that embraces diversity, equity, and inclusion. The COA&HS strives to enrich the lives of Lincoln residents 60 years of age or older (approximately 1/3 of the population) and assist older residents to remain safely and independently in our community. In addition, the COA&HS provides services to Lincoln residents of all ages who are in a serious financial crisis or who need help in caring for elders. We also develop new social services resources for residents of all ages in collaboration with other Town departments and organizations. Most of our educational, social, and recreational activities are open to people of all ages.
