Everyone has the right to receive the care they need in the settings they prefer. The Area Agency on Aging assists nine East Central Ohio counties understand their options for care and ensures your rights as a consumer are not infringed.
Most older
people remain independent their entire lives, but others find
themselves needing some help with activities we once took for granted,
such as fixing meals and traveling to appointments.
There comes a time when we need a level of care that we just can't provide for ourselves. We offer many different options in a variety of settings, from linking you to care in your home to assisting you in nursing facility placement.

May
is Older Americans Month, a perfect opportunity to show our
appreciation for the older adults in our community. Since 1963,
communities across the nation have joined in the annual commemoration
of Older Americans Month—a proud tradition that shows our nation's
commitment to celebrating the contributions and achievements of older
Americans.
The theme for Older Americans Month 2013—Never Too Old
to Play!—puts a spotlight on the important role older adults play in
sharing their experience, wisdom, and understanding, and passing on
that knowledge to other generations in a variety of significant ways.
