Aging Services - Older Americans Act Program - Oklahoma

The Older Americans Act (OAA) program (405-521-2281) is operated out of eleven Area Agencies on Aging which receive federal and state funds. Services are available to persons sixty and older, regardless of income, through local projects funded to provide:

Congregate and Home-Delivered Meals

Over four million meals are served each year, at 275 local nutrition sites throughout Oklahoma, and to homebound individuals. Meals are planned by a Registered Dietitian and must meet one-third RDA requirements.

Outreach

Skilled outreach personnel in each county provide one-on-one assistance to help elderly persons make informed choices and locate the services they need.

Health Promotion

Often located at the local nutrition site, health promotion services include educational presentations, exercise programs, and health screening activities to persons sixty and older.

Nutrition Education

Information on the benefits of healthy eating and exercise are provided to congregate and homebound meal participants.

Transportation

Trips to the nutrition site, the bank, the doctor's office or grocery store allow elderly persons who no longer drive to remain independent in their communities.

In-home Assistance

Local projects are funded by Area Agencies on Aging to provide chore services, personal care, housekeeping, and home repair.

Note: Phone and FAX numbers as of October 2006.
