Our Vision: To be the source for leadership, advocacy, planning and information to ensure the provision of services to build livable and senior friendly communities that are prepared to meet the challenges of a growing aging population.
Our Mission: To lead, develop and enhance community based services, opportunities and protections for older adults, persons living with disabilities and family caregivers to enable them to live independent, healthy lives with improved quality of life in their community of choice for as long as possible.
The Area Agency on Aging provides services that include at-home assistance, nutrition services, transportation, caregiver support, advocacy, and social engagement opportunities. By tailoring services to meet the diverse needs of older adults and their caregivers, the Area Agency on Aging promotes independence, dignity, and well-being among the aging population in the region. With a commitment to fostering a supportive and age-friendly environment, the agency advocates for policies that enhance accessibility, equity, and inclusivity for older adults, contributing to a more vibrant and thriving community for all ages within the five counties of the Kerr-Tar area.
The Regional Area Plan on Aging provides important information for stakeholders and citizens and sets goals to benefit older adults and their caregivers in our region. This plan serves as a guide and work plan for KTAAA for the next four years.
