Maine’s AAAs deliver nutritious meals through Meals on Wheels and offer social dining experiences at community cafes, fostering both health and connection.
Our AAAs serve as a one-stop resource for older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their care partners. Through their phone lines, the AAAs provide guidance on accessing community-based services, including transportation, legal assistance, housing, home care, assistive technology, local food pantries, and more.
Each of the AAAs have trained specialists who assist individuals in understanding Medicare options, choosing the best plans, and navigating Medicare applications. This program often saves Mainers money on their prescriptions and insurance plans.
Maine’s AAAs provide respite care services, adult day programs, and educational resources to support caregivers in their vital roles.
Maine’s Agencies on Aging offer wellness programs, such as Tai Chi classes, to manage chronic diseases, prevent falls, and promote overall well-being.
