Area Agencies on Aging

The Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) were established through the Older Americans Act amendments of 1972 in order to provide a local structure for addressing the needs and concerns of older persons. The goal of an Area Agency on Aging is to enable older people to maintain maximum independence and dignity within their own homes and communities as long as possible by developing a system of coordinated, comprehensive services to meet their needs. Nationwide there are 670 Area Agencies on Aging, 57 State Units on Aging and innumerable local service providers which together with the federal Administration on Aging constitute the National Aging Network.

"The realization that mature workers bring a wealth of knowledge, expertise, and professionalism to the workplace is leading employers to re-think traditional retirement. Many of those employers are focusing on recruitment and retention of mature workers within their organizations. "
