Who We Serve

counties_mapThe Centralina AAA serves a nine county region and is an “on-the-ground” organization charged with helping vulnerable older adults and people with disabilities live with independence and dignity in their homes and communities.  The CAAA serves the counties of Anson, Cabarrus, Gaston, Iredell, Lincoln, Mecklenburg, Rowan, Stanly & Union.  We are located at 9815 David Taylor Dr., Charlotte, NC  28262.

History of AAA in North Carolina

With the enactment of powerful federal legislation known as the Older Americans Act in 1965, Area Agencies on Aging were mandated in every state. In 1971, N.C. Governor Robert W. Scott released an Administrative Directive placing Area Agencies on Aging within the already designated regional planning organizations. Centralina Area Agency on Aging is part of Centralina Council of Governments, one of 17 such lead regional planning organizations.

As one of the 16 Area Agencies on Aging in North Carolina our purposes are to Plan, Develop, Coordinate, and Deliver a wide range of long-term services and supports to consumers in the nine county region that take into consideration the local needs and preferences that result in a local delivery system tailored to the community.
