AGING

Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) were established in 1973 and are overseen by the federal Administration for Community Living and the NC Division of Aging and Adult Services. AAAs are tasked with helping vulnerable older adults and, more recently, adults with disabilities live with independence and dignity in their homes and communities.
