We help people optimize
well-being as we age
Support for an aging population
We provide services, connections and innovations to help communities support older adults and their care partners. Much of our work is done through partnerships with community-based organizations, healthcare organizations and governmental units. We are committed to reducing disparities in access and ensuring equity and inclusivity in older adult services.
Awarding money for rewarding services
Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging administers federal Older Americans Act funding for services that help older adults and caregivers live safely and independently in their communities. In 2025, we awarded more than $13 million to community organizations for services such as home-delivered meals, transportation, caregiver support, respite and more.
We inform, educate and train
We provide a variety of classes and presentations to help you live your life or better do your job. Please join us at one of our upcoming events.
