PROJECT OVERVIEW
The Older Americans Act was originally signed into law by President Lyndon B. Johnson on July 14, 1965. Later amendments to the Act added grants to Area Agencies on Aging for local needs identification, planning, and funding of services, including but not limited to nutrition programs in the community as well as for those who are homebound; services targeted at low-income minority elders; health promotion and disease prevention activities; in-home services for frail elders and those services which protect the rights of older persons.
The Atlantic County Division of Intergenerational Services was designated by the State as the Area Agency on Aging for Atlantic County. The Office serves the growing population of adults age 60 and over and their caregivers. It develops programs and partnerships to deliver essential services to senior citizens of Atlantic County.
The Older Americans Act intends that the area agency on aging shall be the leader relative to all aging issues on behalf of all older persons in the planning and service area. As mandated under the Older Americans Act, the Atlantic County Division of Intergenerational Services must prepare, develop and carry out an Area Plan Contract which is submitted to and approved by the State Division of Aging and Community Services. The plan is to develop a comprehensive and coordinated system for supportive services, nutrition services and caregiver services. This plan is designed to lead to the development or enhancement of comprehensive and coordinated community based systems in, or serving, each community in the planning and service area. These systems shall be designed to assist older persons in leading independent, meaningful and dignified lives in their own homes and communities as long as possible.
In order to fulfill its requirements under the Older Americans Act, the Atlantic County Division of Intergenerational Services must grant out federal and state funding to a large number of agencies to ensure a wide range of services are available for county seniors.
