New Mexico’s Area Agencies on Aging

The state is divided into distinct regions, with a large portion served by a single Non-Metro agency, while the Albuquerque area and tribal nations have their own designations. For statewide assistance, call the New Mexico ADRC at 1-800-432-2080 or visit aging.nm.gov (opens in new window).
