Area Agencies on Aging (Triple A’s/AAAs) are community-based organizations that provide a broad range of assisted living and other services that allow older adults choices. AAAs are making a difference in the lives of seniors – from the frail who can remain at home with the right services to the healthy who need activities and socialization facilitated by senior centers or other community-based programs. Out of the 650 AAAs in the United States, one-third of them are regional councils serving communities and regions. These regional organizations operate centers or administer programs that assure a quality of life for seniors, such as, transportation services, health care, and peer activities.
