NAHANT — Executive Director Mary Miner and the rest of the town’s Council on Aging have announced the launch of the council’s new website.
Miner said the new website was launched to give seniors more accessibility when navigating through tabs and links.
“We are very excited about the launch of the new site,” said Miner. “The site is now geared towards our members, so anyone visiting the site can navigate it with ease. We want our members to feel comfortable going online and signing up for classes or viewing our outreach programs and this new website makes that possible.”
The site, www.nahantcouncilonaging.org, has a “helpful links” page that the community can access to find hotlines and websites with information directed toward seniors.
Links include access to Medicare and Medicaid programs, services for chronic pain and addiction treatment, and other care programs for citizens to connect with. Members and seniors can also access the Council’s newsletter on the site.
The new site also highlights activities that seniors can participate in weekly or monthly.
Additionally, the site offers a donation page for the nonprofit organizations Friends of the Nahant Council on Aging and Volunteers for the Nahant Council on Aging.
The Council on Aging said it offers weekly fitness courses to help seniors stay active, including chair yoga, balance classes, and strength classes. The monthly classes include making your own art and manicures.
Miner said the new website was designed by John Guilfoil Public Relations, LLC., which offers professional public relations services to police and fire departments and municipal governments.
