Area Agencies on Aging

What is an Area Agency on Aging?

The Larimer County Office on Aging is located in the Department of Human Services, but it is also the Area Agency on Aging (AAA or “triple A”) for Larimer County. Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) are designated for every part of our country and are mandated under the Older Americans Act to support certain programs through community partners and provide direct services to our community. As one of sixteen AAAs in Colorado, the Office on Aging receives funding from the Federal Older Americans Act and the Older Coloradans Fund to serve Larimer County residents who are 60 and older and their caregivers, and to serve as the lead agency to coordinate services such as congregate meals, transportation, legal assistance, caregiver support, and more.

Four-Year Plan

Every four years, every Area Agency on Aging (AAA) in Colorado is required to develop and submit a plan to the State Unit on Aging. This plan is based on the needs of people 60 and over in their communities. See the Larimer County Office on Aging Four Year Plan 2024-2027.  


Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults 

To guide each 4-year plan, the Larimer County Office on Aging conducts the Larimer County Community Assessment Survey for Older Adults.  View the CASOA report.
