The U.S. Administration on Aging administers the OAA. For a state to receive federal funds to implement to OAA, the Governor has to appoint a State Unit on Aging. In Oklahoma, the Department of Human Services Aging Services Division manages the State Unit on Aging. State Units on Aging develop a statewide plan of how services and supports will be provided. Many states have divided into Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) to administer OAA programs (13 states and Territories have single planning areas). In most cases, the AAA assesses the needs of older people although they do not provide direct services (they subcontract with other organizations).
There are 6 main types of services that may be available in states: (1) services to help people stay in their homes (e.g. chore and personal care services), (2) nutrition services, (3) preventive health services, (4) The National Family Caregiver Support Program to help people caring for spouses, parents, older relatives and friends/grandparents caring for grandchildren/caregivers of people 18 and under with developmental disabilities, (5) protection for the rights of vulnerable older people (e.g. pension counseling programs) and (6) services to Native Americans.
To find local services and contact local Area Agencies on Aging, either contact the State Unit on Aging or call the ‘Eldercare Locator’ (a national toll-free service to help callers find services that may help them). The Eldercare Locator number is 1-800-677-1116. http://www.okdhs.org/divisionsoffices/visd/asd/
