The Town of Madison is a rural community in Somerset County that has a significant number of residents that are over the age of 55. Approximately 42% of the Madison population is 55 and older. The Town of Madison has recognized that seniors as they grow older would like to remain in their homes as they age.

Madison has always worked with community commitment that has benefited the seniors in the area such as sponsoring gathering places, a having very active food pantry, having  local cable network for programming and information sharing, and community service work for older adults done by students of MSAD 59.

In November of 2017, the Town of Madison became an AARP Age-Friendly Community when partnering with Somerset Public Health. The Town of Madison recognized that many of their senior citizens are long-term residents and are a group that faces challenges when aging in a rural community and decided to make sure that the town is age friendly. Madison is a community that supports the health and well being of all citizens while working on intergenerational population living, working, and interacting together.
