How can an Area Agency on Aging help me?
New Mexico’s four Area Agencies on Aging, or AAA’s, administer, plan and support community based services for individuals 60 and older, or age 55 and older in tribal programs. Most of the services coordinated through the AAA’s are provided at the local level.
Specific services offered by each AAA vary throughout the state, but each AAA offers a wide array of programs to help older New Mexicans and their families get the help and information they need. Each AAA is responsible for services within one or more Planning and Service Areas (PSA’s) and has developed specific plans for each region. (INSERT PSA MAP)
Priority for services are given to minorities with low incomes, individuals who live in rural areas, individuals with limited English proficiency, individuals with Alzheimer’s disease and related disorders, and individuals at risk of being placed in a nursing home or other facility.
