Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging is dedicated to helping seniors maintain quality of life and independence as they age.

Established in 1973 as one of 25 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs) in the Commonwealth of Virginia, Senior Connections is governed by a Board of Directors and operates as a private, nonprofit 501(c)(3) organization.  As a nonprofit, the Agency accepts donations of monetary gifts, memorials, services and items.

Senior Connections receives federal funding under the provisions of the Older Americans Act and state funds administered by the Viriginia Department for the Aging. Funding is also provided by city and county governments.

Senior Connections seeks to improve the overall quality of life for seniors and caregivers. There are more than 160,000 persons age 60 and older residing in our service areas. We provide a comprehensive range of home and community-based services (see Links on the left). The Agency places special emphasis on assisting the frail and disadvantaged elderly who may be socially isolated and physically or economically at-risk.

Senior Connections, The Capital Area Agency on Aging also serves as an advocacy and education organization focused on issues that impact current and future retirees.
