Southwestern Commission Area Agency on Aging

Southwestern Commission Area Agency on Aging Our mission is to assure that every older adult has the opportunity to live life to the fullest.

The Area Agency on Aging ( AAA) works on behalf of older adults and their caregivers in the seven southwestern counties of North Carolina. The Southwestern Commission Area Agency on Aging was established in 1980 as mandated by the 1977 Amendments of the Older Americans Act in order for a Planning and Service Area (PSA) to receive funds from the Act. Our region covers southwestern N.C including the

counties of Cherokee, Clay, Graham, Haywood, Jackson, Macon, Swain and the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians.

Each year Haywood Health Foundation awards hundreds of thousands of dollars to local health-related initiatives — but its pot of funding continues to grow through investment earnings.
