Older American Act

The Older Americans Act, enacted in 1965, is a federal law that funds programs to support the health, well-being, and independence of older adults. It provides services such as meal programs, transportation, caregiving assistance, and health education. The Act aims to help seniors live active, secure lives while maintaining their dignity and autonomy. It also promotes planning and coordination among local agencies to address aging-related needs, ensuring older Americans receive the resources and support necessary for a good quality of life.
