Agency on Aging Area 4 (AAA4) develops, coordinates, and funds programs designed to help older adults and people with disabilities maintain their health and independence in Nevada, Placer, Sacramento, Sierra, Sutter, Yolo, and Yuba counties.
Our role as Area 4’s Agency on Aging includes bringing programs and services to the community directly and funding programs administered by trusted partner organizations. By leveraging the expertise and reach of 21 local service providers across our seven-county service area—who are familiar with the unique needs of the communities they serve—we are able to target services to consumers and communities in greatest need, including underserved and vulnerable populations.
