Area Agencies on Aging and Disability

Area Agencies on Aging and Disability plan and provide programs and services for older Tennesseans and those with disabilities.

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 Tennessee? — 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?
