Area Agencies on Aging

Area Agencies on Aging serve as the front door for Missouri seniors and caregivers, offering information and referral to aging services across the state.

Questions to ask the program

These are questions to ask the program, not a verdict on your eligibility. Confirm the current rules directly with the program.

• Does the person receiving care live in Missouri? — Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
• Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name. — Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
• What documents do you need from us to start an application?
• Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?

How to apply

• Find your local AAA online, or call the Senior Resource Line at 1-800-235-5503 to be directed to your local AAA through the phone. You will be asked to input your 5-digit zip code and then will be transferred to the local agency for assistance.
