## **AAAs Serve Communities**

One of the OAA’s (Older Americans Act) foundational principles is that the programs and services created to help support consumers in their homes and communities are customized to meet their individual needs. There’s nothing one-size-fits-all about AAAs or the services they offer their clients!

Roles of all AAAs: **Assess community needs and develop and fund programs** that respond to those needs; **educate and provide direct assistance** to consumers about available community resources for long-term services and supports; **serve as portals to care** by assessing multiple service needs, determining eligibility, authorizing or purchasing services and monitoring the appropriateness and cost-effectiveness of services; and **demonstrate responsible fiscal stewardship** by maximizing the use of public and private funding to serve as many consumers as possible.

  

  

## **All AAAs offer five core services under the OAA:**

**ELDER RIGHTS** includes abuse prevention and long-term care ombudsman programs

**CAREGIVERS**

**NUTRITION**

**HEALTH & WELLNESS**
