Aging (TJAAA) Planning & Administration
Triangle J Area Agency on Aging (TJAAA) Planning and Administration staff promote home and community-based care and services for older adults through input and assistance from consumers, community partners, and other stakeholders.
In addition, we assist counties to plan for a strong continuum of care for older adults by increasing the resources and support programs available, and, looking for new or expanded opportunities to better meet their needs. We improve the performance of local service providers through funds administration and monitoring related to Home and Community Care Block Grant funding and other direct service funding streams and others.
Information brokerage is a key aspect TJAAA's work. We assist individuals and communities in becoming aware of and knowledgeable about aging issues and services and programs available to older adults of the region, by dissemination of pertinent information through our websites: www.tjaaa.org and www.fullcirclecare.org. In addition, TJAAA makes informed and timely referrals and makes public informational presentations.
