North Carolina Association on Aging (NCAoA)

 

The North Carolina Association on Aging (NCAoA) was established in the early 1980's with a three-fold purpose:

• to represent local service providers and other professionals in the field of aging in North Carolina, to provide leadership and educational opportunities, and to promote high standards of professional qualifications;

• to encourage the development of services designed to enhance the quality of life for older adults, to assist all levels of the aging network in areas of planning, programming, and policy development; and

• to advocate for those matters which will advance the field of aging, to review, encourage, and support legislation that positively affects the field of aging

Members of this non-profit association include health and social professionals and organizations that are typically considered to be part of the Aging Network. These include local councils and departments on aging, senior centers, area agencies on aging, adult day care centers, adult social services and health departments, and other providers of home and community-based services.
