Whether you are an older adult or a family caregiver concerned about the well-being of an older adult, Missouri's ten Area Agencies on Aging stand ready to help you.

Sometimes it is difficult to know what is really needed. Sorting out what the older adult can do for himself or herself and what they need help with, can be a daunting task. All the bureaucratic lingo and eligibility requirements can be quite confusing.

Missouri's AAAs have over 30 years experience administering and coordinating services for older adults. We can help you assess the abilities and needs of the older adult. We will work with you to identify resources and services that can address those needs.
