COA Information
The Older Americans Act (1965) established a national aging services
network and created the Administration on Aging (AOA)- the federal
agency mandated to improve or develop programs, activities and
services for older adults. The AOA contracts with the Ohio Department
of Aging (ODA), which has divided the state into twelve planning
and service areas. Within each of these regions an Area Agency
on Aging has been designated to act as a catalyst for developing,
coordinating and implementing services to older adults at the local
level.
COA is a private, non-profit agency responsible for
planning, coordinating
and administrating local, state and federally funded programs
and services for older adults in Butler, Clermont, Clinton, Hamilton
and Warren counties. It is our mission to assist senior adults
in these areas to live rewarding and independent lives through
the use of programs and services that are funded at the local,
state and federal level. COA matches senior adults to the programs
that are most appropriate to them and the lifestyle and living
environments they choose. By planning and coordinating these
programs for senior adults, COA makes these programs accessible
to senior adults.
