Frequently Asked Questions

What should I know about how an Area Agency on Aging works?
We serve as a central point for connecting older adults, caregivers, and individuals with disabilities to trusted services in the community—like home care, nutrition support, and care planning. Our goal is to make aging-related decisions easier and more informed.
Can I get help from your agency even if I’m not sure what I need yet?
Yes, you can. We understand that many people aren’t sure where to begin. We’re here to listen, ask the right questions, and help you explore the support options that best fit your needs or the needs of a loved one.
What if I’m under 60 but still need assistance?
While many of our programs are geared toward individuals aged 60 and older, we also support adults with disabilities and caregivers. We can guide you to programs you may be eligible for, regardless of age.
How are your services different from what a local senior center provides?
Senior centers typically focus on activities, meals, and social events. In contrast, we provide guidance, assessments, and referrals to long-term care services, financial assistance programs, and in-home support providers.
Will you help me compare home care providers?
Yes. While we don’t employ caregivers, we do maintain a list of reliable, community-based agencies. We can help you compare services based on your preferences and care requirements.
How can I feel confident I’m choosing the right kind of support?
We take the time to understand your unique situation and walk you through the available options. Our team helps you weigh your choices carefully so you can feel confident about your next steps.
