Services Available for Seniors and their Caregivers

Looking for programs and services for older adults? The Mid-East Area Agency on Aging (MEAAA) is a non-profit organization that provides information, activities, and support for seniors and their caregivers in St. Louis, Jefferson, Franklin, and St. Charles Counties.

At the four Aging Resource Centers in our area, seniors and their families can take advantage of caregiver support services, options counseling on long-term care, and information on public assistance benefits.

MEAA’s 22 senior centers offer a variety of events and recreational activities, including music programs, dancing, and games. Eligible homebound seniors can also have nutritious noon-time meals delivered to their homes.

In addition to articles and videos on important topics like health and safety, MEAAA’s website features online discussion boards where seniors and their loved ones can share their challenges and experiences.

MEAAA’s meals and activities are free of charge, so donations and volunteers are needed to continue providing these critical services. If you are interested in serving local seniors, MEAAA is looking for volunteers to answer phones, deliver meals, drive seniors to their medical appointments, and more.
