Older Americans Act Services includes Meals on Wheels, Case Management, Information and Assistance, Family Caregiver Support, Legal Services, and much more. AgeGuide works to give at-risk elders the opportunity to stay in their own homes with dignity and safety and advocates and collaborates with communities to prepare seniors and families for aging. Our Responsibility: Our mission is we to strive to make aging easier through the development and promotion of a network of services for older persons designed to optimize the quality of their lives. Our most cherished belief is that all older persons should be respected for their individual value, dignity and contributions to society and that their autonomy and privacy must be protected.
