Area Agencies on Aging
Alabama’s 13 regional Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs)—coordinated by the Alabama Department of Senior Services—connect older adults and people with disabilities to the support they need to live safely and independently. Each AAA offers practical, day‑to‑day assistance including home‑delivered meals, homemaker services, transportation, and other supports that help individuals remain in their homes when that’s their preference. By offering a wide range of programs, AAAs empower older adults to choose the services and living arrangements that fit their needs best.
