At Western CT Area Agency on Aging, Inc. (WCAAA), we are guided by a deep and authentic commitment to enriching the lives of older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers. Our core values of dignity, compassion, inclusion, choice, and collaboration, influence the decisions we make and shape the services we provide.

We believe that every person deserves to live with respect and independence in their chosen home, supported by compassionate, responsive services tailored to meet their needs. Striving for excellence in every interaction, we ensure our programs are human-centered, collaborative, and inclusive.

At WCAAA, we foster a community where everyone is valued and connected, helping people make informed choices and live with confidence, independence, and dignity.

Our funded services include:

• CHOICES and Senior Medicare Patrol (SMP)

• Alzheimer Respite Care Program (statewide)

• National Family Caregiver Support (NFCG)

• Money Follows the Person (MFP)
