About the Agency\:

The Ohio Department of Aging (AGE) is a cabinet-level agency within the executive branch of the Ohio state government. The director of AGE is a member of the Governor's cabinet, serving as principal advisor and advocate for 2.8 million older adults and their families. Through services, supports, and activities that cover a wide spectrum of issues, AGE strives to achieve its mission to foster sound public policy, research, and initiatives that benefit older Ohioans.

AGE is the federally designated agency responsible for developing and administering multi-year state plans that advocate for, and provide assistance to, older Ohioans and their families. In addition to the centralized functions, the agency designates and contracts with community providers and a network of 12 Area Agencies on Aging, who manage a wide array of federal and state-funded supportive services. These services assist older adults to live as independently as possible; promote healthy aging and active community involvement; and support family members in their vital care giving role.

To promote the agency’s vision of Ohio – the best place to age in the nation, AGE actively collaborates with consumers, stakeholders from key associations, government, and the public. The independent Office of the State Long-Term Care Ombudsman and the Board of Executives of Long-Term Services and Supports are also located within AGE.
