Helpful information including Agency highlights, facts and figures were included in the Area Agency on Aging District 7’s (AAA7) 2022 Annual Report. The AAA7 provides services to ten core counties in Ohio including Adams, Brown, Gallia, Highland, Jackson, Lawrence, Pike, Ross, Scioto and Vinton.

The AAA7’s 2022 Annual Report, “Celebrating 50 Years of Helping Our Communities Age Better,” highlights the variety of programs and initiatives made possible through the work of AAA7 staff, the Board of Trustees, Advisory Council, and provider organizations throughout the ten core counties served by the AAA7, and additional counties the AAA7 serves in Ohio through other contracted programs. The programs provided through the AAA7 help older adults and those with disabilities of any age live safely and independently in their own homes through services paid for by Medicare, Medicaid, other federal and state resources, as well as private pay. This year’s edition celebrated the Agency’s 50th Anniversary, that was marked in 2022, and included pictures and milestones from over the years.

“We are delighted to share our Annual Report with the community and celebrate our 50 years of service to our district,” shares Debbie Gulley, Interim Executive Director of the AAA7. “Our Annual Report gives anyone reading it an opportunity to learn more about the services and programs we provide and the impact it has for individuals in our community who want to have choices with their long-term care options to support living in their residence of choice.”
