The Area Agency on Aging of Dane County is dedicated to empowering individuals aged 60 and older, along with their families, to access essential services that support independent living within their homes and communities. This organization serves as a vital resource, offering both short-term assistance, such as enrollment in prescription drug programs, and long-term support, including ongoing case management for those with chronic health conditions.
As a key component of the national Aging Network, the AAA of Dane County provides a comprehensive array of community-based services. These include congregate and home-delivered meals, robust caregiver support programs, personalized case management, and expert assistance with benefit-related inquiries. Many of these locally delivered services operate on a donation basis, ensuring accessibility for all eligible residents. The agency also plays a crucial role in planning and policy development for programs funded by the Older Americans Act and state supplemental funding, guided by an active Advisory Council that ensures services reflect local needs.
