ABOUT US

The Area Agency on Aging and Disability (AAA) is designated by the State of Alabama to develop and administer an Area Plan providing a comprehensive and coordinated service delivery system for older Alabamians and disabled Alabamians in the 10 county service area. It is administered by the East Alabama Regional Planning and Development Commission (EARPDC) staff and is advised by the Regional Senior Services Advisory Committee.
The Agency operates under the direction of the EARPDC Board of Directors and is part of a nationwide network on aging under the direction of the U.S. Administration on Aging.
The primary responsibility of the AAA is for the implementation of the Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended, and assisting in the administration of state programs under the supervision of the Alabama Department of Senior Services (ADSS) and local programs serving older Alabamians.
