The mission of the Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging, Inc., is to develop, manage and provide comprehensive services for seniors, caregivers and individuals with disabilities through person-centered planning in order to maintain their independence and quality of life.
Through designation as an Area Agency on Aging, the Western Connecticut Area Agency on Aging (WCAAA) is a funding source for services designed to maintain seniors' independence in the community. As a private, non-profit organization, WCAAA funding is derived from federal, state, and local sources, including client donations. The WCAAA is a resource for information and referral to services and, through research, serves as an strong advocate for older adults and those with disabilities in our 41-town region.
Our funded services include:
In addition to these programs, the WCAAA administers programs centered around congregate and home-delivered meals, legal and chore assistance, transportation, benefits and veterans outreach, senior center support, and health screenings (home based assessments frequently act as a gateway to our programs). As a member of the National Association of Area Agencies on Aging, the WCAAA is part of a national referral network focused on assisting seniors and caregivers. Below is a list of our serviced towns:
