Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging, Inc. (AAA) intends to seek a direct service waiver from the Ohio Department of Aging so that it may continue to provide select services within the 9-county Planning and Service Area as served by the agency.

As part of the process, the AAA will be holding a public hearing on Wednesday, June 26 at 1:00 PM in the training rom at Ohio District 5 Area Agency on Aging, Suite 300, 2131 Park Avenue West in Ontario.

The specific services that can be furnished in a cost effective and consistent manner throughout the nine counites, that have been successfully provided for up to 44 years, and that are made available without the potential for a conflict of interest are as follows:

  • Nutrition Activities being provided through Title III-C Older Americans Act funds in the amount of $53,840.
