Planning for your best future
Navigating long-term care, understanding eligibility, and applying for benefits can be overwhelming, but the Office on Aging has personalized, one-on-one support services that can help you plan confidently for your future. Below, learn about:
What is an Area Agency on Aging?
The Larimer County Office on Aging is located in the Department of Human Services, but it is also the Area Agency on Aging (AAA or “triple A”) for Larimer County. Area Agencies on Aging (AAA) are designated for every part of our country and are mandated under the Older Americans Act to support certain programs through community partners and provide direct services to our community.
The Disability Navigator Program helps individuals with a disability or blindness and financial needs secure Supplemental Security Income (SSI). Individuals work with a Disability Navigator to complete the SSI application, a process that can be lengthy and difficult without help.
Supported Families Stronger Community (SFSC) is a federally funded grant project with a focus on prevention to help Larimer County residents thrive in our community.
A team of four community navigators connects families with services in the community, such as childcare resources, public benefits, and mental health services.
