(A) The Ohio department of aging (ODA) was created by the general assembly to administer various state and federal programs to provide leadership for the delivery of services and supports that improve and promote quality of life and personal choice for Ohioans sixty years of age and older, adults with disabilities, their families, and their caregivers. To help ensure that the programs administered by ODA are responsive to the needs of local communities, ODA has divided the state into twelve regional planning and service areas (PSAs). ODA’s programs are administered within each of these PSAs by a public or nonprofit agency that has entered into a contract with ODA to be an area agency on aging (AAA), in accordance rules found in Chapter 173-2 of the Administrative Code. While AAAs are not state agencies, they do work in conjunction with the state and the Ohio’s aging network to provide quality services to Ohio’s older population.
