Serving People

Providing and coordinating services to help seniors maintain independence and thrive

The AAA is part of a nationwide network on aging under the direction of the U.S. Administration for Community Living and is funded through the Alabama Department of Senior Services.

The primary responsibility of the AAA to our five-county service area is to plan and carry out a comprehensive, coordinated service delivery system to address the needs of people over 60, and help them maintain their independence. We serve DeKalb, Jackson, Limestone, Madison, and Marshall counties.
