Area Agencies on Aging
(County Office on Aging)

An Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is designated in each of New Jersey's 21 counties to serve as the primary entity responsible for developing comprehensive, coordinated systems of community-based services for older adults. The role of the AAAs includes:

Coordinating all programs on aging regardless of funding source, and serving as the central source for information and referral for services and programs;
Preparing an Area Plan on Aging which includes an analysis of the needs and existing services within the county and a comprehensive plan for the delivery of services to older people;
Administering the annual allocation of federal Older Americans Act and state funds from the New Jersey Division of Aging and Community Services for projects and services within the county;
Monitoring and evaluating projects funded under the Area Plan;
Serving as an advocate to increase the public's understanding of the nature of the aging process and the aging individual; and
Advising local governments and the Division of Aging and Community Services of unmet needs, and recommending legislation where appropriate.
