5 Nationwide Network with a Local Flavor
In 2017, there are 622 AAAs serving older adults in virtually every community in the nation. In a few small or sparsely populated states, the state serves the AAA function. The Older Americans Act (OAA) is foundational for all AAAs, but because the law calls for local control and decision-making, AAAs adapt to the unique demands of their communities to provide innovative programs that support the health and independence of older adults.

16 AAA Network on the Move 93% 63% 45% 70%
Evidence-Based Health and Wellness: Ninety-three percent of AAAs now offer evidence-based programs. (That’s an 85 percent increase since 2007.) Starting in October 2016, all Older Americans Act Title III D funds must be used for evidence-based programs, so that number will rise. 63% Integrated Care: Sixty-three percent of AAAs are involved in integrated care - an approach that combines delivery, management and organization of services related to diagnosis, treatment, care, rehabilitation and health promotion across multiple systems, including home and community-based services. 45% Care Transitions: Whether with federal funding or through local partnerships, AAAs have moved rapidly into providing care transitions services that help consumers make smooth transitions from hospital (or other care setting) to home, generally with an emphasis on reducing preventable readmissions or complications for the patient. Currently, 45 percent of AAAs have care transitions programs. 70% Livable Communities: Livable Communities are good places to grow up and grow old. Seventy percent of AAAs are involved in efforts to make their communities more livable and/or dementia-friendly.

17 AAA Funding Overview

18 AAA Funding Sources

19 AAAs Leverage Funding AAAs leverage federal dollars, building on modest OAA funding to expand the economic support for HCBS through additional state, local and private dollars. The U.S. Administration on Aging estimates that for every $1 of federal OAA investment, an additional $3 is leveraged.
