What is the Area Agency on Aging?
The Stanislaus County Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is a division of the Department of Aging and Veterans Services. Governed by the Board of Supervisors, the AAA administers Older American Act Federal and State funds for services to older adults. The AAA operates an Information and Assistance Program to link seniors and their families or caregivers with services, to meet their needs, through contracts with the area service providers. The following is a list of the current service programs also available in Stanislaus County.
By mandate of the Older American Act the Area Agency on Aging acts as the principal advocate for services for older persons in the county. Every 4years, the department develops an Area Plan for aging services. Through community coordination and program development activities, the department identifies unmet needs, identifies service gaps and encourages local providers to work together to meet the needs of seniors.
The Area Agency on Aging Provides Staff support to 3 advisory groups:
- Commission on Aging (appointed by the Board of Supervisors)
