Established under the Older Americans Act, the AAA provides a range of options that allow older individuals and people with disabilities to choose home and community-based services and living arrangements that are best for them. The foundation for what we do here at the Middle Georgia Area Agency on Aging is to promote independent, dignified lifestyles and access to services for those we serve.
