Vision: Persons to live longer, safer and well through the continuation of a vibrant aging services network at all levels through funding of low-cost, non-medical services and supports to provide means by which more seniors can maintain their independence.

What is an Area Agency on Aging?

In 1965, the Older Americans Act became the framework for a national network dedicated to working together to serve the nation’s older adults population. Amendments added in 1973 resulted in the formation of 667 Area Agency on Aging (AAA) programs nationwide.

 

 

 

 

The Area Agency on Aging is "Your Aging and Disability Resource Connection and links you to Community Resources." Information and referral services, as well as intake and screening services, are provided through the Aging and Disability Resource Connection (ADRC).

Older adult receiving assistance from the Three Rivers Area Agency on Aging

Working with the Area Agency on Aging for the coordination of existing services and the development of new services are federal, state and local officials, older adults and disability community constituents, non-profit agencies, service providers, and the private voluntary sector.

TRAAA is staffed with professionals assigned to receive inquiries, primarily by phone, regarding services and resources. In many cases, the caller's needs can be easily addressed by providing a referral to a community resource or allied agency. In other instances, the staff will perform a thorough assessment of needs through a guided interview process, which allows staff to better assist callers in finding appropriate services. Assistance is available immediately if you are able to pay for services.

With information about home and community based services, Georgians can make informed decisions about how best to manage their future.
