Area Agencies on Aging

Your county's front door for senior services

Pennsylvania's Area Agencies on Aging are your source of information for the issues affecting older people and their caregivers. Services vary by county, but each agency offers programs to help adults 60 and older and their families get the help they need.

AAAs are a nationwide network of roughly 620 organizations funded under the Older Americans Act. They coordinate benefit navigation, meal delivery, in-home assessments, caregiver support, and long-term care ombudsman services. Many of our clients use AAA programs and Living Care for the hours and continuity AAAs can't provide.
