Older Americans Act

The Older Americans Act (OAA), established in 1965, is a U.S. law designed to support older adults' health and well-being. It provides funding for various services such as meals, transportation, health care, and social activities. The OAA aims to enhance the quality of life for seniors, promote their independence, and assist in community engagement. By establishing a network of local agencies and programs, it ensures that older Americans have access to essential resources, helping them maintain their dignity and remain active participants in society.
