The Littleton Elder & Human Services Department, along with the Council on Aging board, have a monthly LCTV program called “Highlights from EHS/COA.”
In May, there will be a special program featuring Town Administrator Anthony Ansaldi, Select Board member Matthew Nordhaus and Town Planner Maren Toohill. They will be responding to questions the Elder and Human Services Director Ashley Shaheen and members of the COA board have been asked regarding the proposed senior center as well as the Planning Board articles concerning senior affordable housing to be brought before the town at the June 12 Town Meeting.

Most often, people see Littleton Elder and Human Services and Council on Aging services, and assume that the department exists to provide services only to the Council on Aging.
Nothing could be further from the truth. Their mission is to identify and serve the social, health and educational needs of all residents regardless of age, income, or circumstances.
As a town committed to the concept of an Age-Friendly Community, the department exists to encourage and promote optimizing opportunities for health, participation and security to all ages.
The department is staffed presently by the director, assistant director, outreach coordinator, part-time administrative assistant, four van drivers, and more than 100 volunteers.
