Overview of Information and Assistance
The area agencies on aging (AAAs) provide statewide information and assistance to eligible Missourians. Eligible Missourians are individuals 60 or older and adults with disabilities in certain situations.
These services are intended to assist older adults and their caregivers in accessing available programs and services within local communities, assess the needs and capacities of an individual, link the person to available services and provide follow-up assistance as needed.
Contact
Find your local AAA for information and assistance from staff who can help you find services available in your area. You can also call the Missouri Senior Resource Line toll-free at 1-800-235-5503 to be connected with local assistance.
