Preferred term

Aging Network  

Definition

  • To promote long-term social, physical, and financial well-being for the nearly 50 million U.S. adults age 60 years and older, the Aging Network was formalized and expanded by the 1972 amendments to the Older Americans Act of 1965 (OAA). The Aging Network is a nationwide system composed of a central Administration on Aging (AoA) and its regional offices, 55 State Units on Aging (SUAs, including states, trusts, and territories), approximately 665 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs), 235 tribal and native organizations, and thousands of service providers funded by contract with network agencies.
