Aging Services of Minnesota is Minnesota's largest association of aging services organizations. Today our membership encompasses over 1,000 member organizations including 700 provider member sites. Together, we work with over 50,000 caregivers throughout the state and serve more than 100,000 seniors each year in settings across the continuum from their home to congregate housing to assisted living to care centers. Aging Services members are diverse but share a common focus on person-directed living, missions of service to their communities and choice in older adult services.

The Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging (MAAA) is the designated area agency on aging for the seven county Twin Cities metropolitan area. Area agencies on aging were established under the Older Americans Act (OAA) in 1973 to respond to the needs of Americans aged 60 and over in every local community. There are over 650 area agencies on aging in the United States and 6 in Minnesota. Minnesota area agencies on aging are designated by the Board on Aging (Off Site) to provide three critical functions: OAA funding administration, community planning and service development, and information and assistance.

It was started by family caregivers who came together around a common need of getting support and help for their loved ones with dementia.

“Proactive to Stay Active” is a blueprint designed to assist you in building a life plan as you age. Identifying your desires, strengths, community connections, resources and needs will assist you to be proactive rather than reactive when life events bring change. This will help ensure that your wishes will be honored.

Use this life plan as a tool to identify your circle of support which may include: family members, friends, and professionals/care partners. Once completed it becomes a resource to foster conversation about your personal wishes among your designated support team.
