Arizona Association of Area Agencies on Aging
Assistance. Advocacy. Answers on Aging.
The Arizona Association of Area Agencies on Aging (AZ4A) is a consortium of the eight Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) located throughout the state of Arizona including rural, urban, and tribal communities. Arizona's AAAs are dedicated to providing services to Boomers, older adults and their caregivers, persons with disabilties, and those with long-term care needs.
Arizona's Area Agencies on Aging are a part of a national organization of 629 AAAs and 246 tribal community programs, all of which were established in 1974 under the Older Americans Act.
Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) advocates, plans, coordinates, and develops and delivers home and community-based services. In addition these agencies provide supportive assistance, accurate information, evidence-based health promotion programs, and local resource connections to their clients.
The goal of this aging service network is to enable older adults to “age in place,” that is, to live independently in their own homes for as long as possible.
Our Mission
To promote understanding of aging and long-term care needs and serve as advocates and leaders in developing policies and resources that enhance the quality of life for Arizonans.
