An Area Agency on Aging is a public or private non-profi t agency designated by the State to carry out the Older Americans Act at the local level. Like its counterpart at the State level, an Area Agency on Aging serves as both the advocate and visible focal point in its planning and service area to promote the development of more comprehensive and coordinated service systems to serve older individuals and disabled persons.


Staff of the Area Agency on Aging are available to assist seniors and/or disabled individuals


and their families in coordinating resources and services that will enable the client to maintain their independence as long as possible. Through direct services and contracts with various service providing agencies throughout the region, the Area Agency on Aging provides numerous programs and services designed to meet the needs of older West Alabamians and disabled individuals.
