Seniors/Aging Services and Contacts
The Idaho Commission on Aging (ICOA) is the sole state agency designated under the Older Americans Act to administer programs and services for Idahoans 60 years of age and older. Since 1965 the Older Americans Act (OAA) has provided funding for services to meet the diverse needs of older persons in the United State through the National Aging Services Network (the Aging Network). The Network consists of federal, state, and local agencies, particularly the regional Area Agencies on Aging, that help ensure that older Americans and their families have the information and assistance they need to make informed decisions and choices. These choices help families care for their loved ones, help older people stay in their homes, and provide care options other than nursing home facilities. Idaho is divided into six Planning and Service Areas (PSAs), each assigned to one Area Agency on Aging (AAA), which administers and manages programs and services for the elderly under an Area Plan on Aging approved by ICOA. Each designated AAA develops, supports, and maintains a variety of elderly services.
