Can't decide what kind of care need or stay at home - AgingCare.com:



 In 2014, there were 618 AAAs serving older adults in virtually every community in the nation. In the few states without a AAA infrastructure?those with small populations or sparsely populated land areas?the state
serves the AAA function.

One of the OAA’s foundational principles is that the programs and services created to help support consumers in their homes and communities are customized to meet their individual needs. There’s nothing one-size-fits-all about AAAs or what they offer their clients!

How to Connect With Your Local AAA All AAAs have local hotlines or websites to provide consumers with information and assistance, so if you know the name of your local AAA, start there. Alternatively, you can find a AAA by zip code via the Eldercare Locator’s website (www.eldercare.gov) or you can speak with an information specialist by calling 800.677.1116. The Eldercare Locator is a free national service funded by the U.S Administration for Community Living and administered by n4a.
