Area Agency on Aging

The Milwaukee County Department on Aging is also the local Area Agency on Aging.

Federal funds provide assistance with home and community based services and programs that affirm the dignity of older adults by supporting their choices for living in and giving to our community.

• Senior nutrition programs (Community dining and home delivered meals)
