Who We Are
Maine's Area Agencies on Aging run many core programs including Medicare counseling, family caregiving support and training, Meals on Wheels and congregate dining, options counseling, chronic disease self-management courses and falls prevention courses, and much more.
What We Do
The Maine Association of Area Agencies on Aging (M4A) advocates for healthy aging to ensure that older adults in Maine can thrive independently in their homes and communities. M4A is a private, non-profit organization that is a unifying voice for Maine’s five Area Agencies on Aging on issues that promote independence, dignity and economic self-reliance for Maine’s 300,000+ older adults.
Maine’s five Area Agencies on Aging are:
Aroostook Area Agency on Aging in Presque Isle
Eastern Area Agency on Aging in Bangor
Spectrum Generations in Augusta
SeniorsPlus in Lewiston
Southern Maine Area Agency on Aging in Scarborough
Maine’s network of Agencies on Aging is the leading source of information for thousands of Maine seniors on aging, healthy living and benefits. Programs and outreach support services are designed to improve the physical, social and emotional well-being of older adults and to reduce the burden on families and caregivers.
The Area Agencies on Aging make a difference in the everyday lives of Maine’s older adults. They bring meals, provide family caregiver support, provide expert advice on insurance and drug benefits, and direct the needy to appropriate resources for food, fuel and financial assistance. Maybe most importantly, they provide a community for seniors – places for social interaction, learning and care. Most all of our services are delivered by caring volunteers.
Anyone in the state can contact their Agency on Aging by calling 1-877-353-3771. This number automatically connects them to the Area Agency on Aging for their region.
