National Association of Area Agencies on Aging
From Life Done Right SeniorWiki
National Association of Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) was established under the Older Americans Act (OAA) in 1973 to respond to the needs of Americans aged 60 and over in every local community. The OAA also helps fund Native American aging programs, known as "Title VI," to meet the unique needs of older American Indians, Aleuts, Eskimos and Hawaiians.
The services available through AAA and Title VI agencies fall into five broad categories: information and access services, community-based services, in-home services, housing and elder rights. Within each category a range of programs is available.
These agencies offer programs that make a difference in the lives of all older adults … from the frail older person who can remain at home if they receive the right services to those who are healthy and can benefit from the activities and socialization provided by community-based programs such as senior centers.
