Older American Act Four Year Plan

The Older Americans Act (OAA) provides the foundation for Area Agencies on Aging. Congress passed the Older Americans Act (OAA) in 1965 in response to concern by policymakers about a lack of community social services for older persons. AAA's develop and Dept. of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS) approve the area plan, which describe how services under the OAA will be provided. Funding formulas are used to determine the allocations of funding available under the OAA.

OAA program services include:

Legal assistance
Caregiver & in-home services (e.g. homemaker, personal care)
Health promotion programs (like physical fitness &exercise)
Nutrition services
Transportation
Support groups for caregivers
Respite
Other as identified by the Area Plan
