Virginia’s 25 Area Agencies on Aging

Virginia is divided into 25 Area Agencies on Aging (AAAs). They are the local experts for the VICAP (Virginia Insurance Counseling and Assistance Program) and long-term care screenings, and they connect older Virginians to home and community-based services through the statewide No Wrong Door network. For statewide help, call DARS at 1-800-552-3402 or visit vda.virginia.gov (opens in new window).
