Every May, the federal agency, Administration for Community Living, leads the nation’s observance of Older Americans Month (OAM), a time to recognize older Americans’ contributions, highlight aging trends, and reaffirm commitments to serving the older adults in our communities.
To celebrate the month ATRC Aging hosts several OAM related events in different communities that includes fun activities such as food, prizes, games, bingo, vendors, and a costume contest. These events are open to everyone 60 and older. Dates and times can be found on our website and social media when Older Americans Month is approaching.
HELPING FAMILIES, HELPING EACH OTHER
We are our Area’s Single Source for the Aging and Disabled.
ATRC Aging manages programs funded by the Federal Older Americans Act as well as programs funded by the State of Alabama. Our responsibilities include serving as the area’s Aging & Disabilities Resource Center (ADRC), the entry point for long-term support and services available for seniors and those with disabilities, and facilitating a variety of home and community based services.
HELPING FAMILIES, HELPING EACH OTHER
Our goal is to help you live a quality life independently at home.
ATRC Aging aims to help seniors and the individuals with disabilities live their best life at home by providing access to information, along with assistance and resources to aid in navigating health care and long-term support systems. By providing services in the home, along with coordination of care, we can help you remain healthy in your home and community as long as possible.
We are part of a bigger family
