We are delighted to serve you!
Today's older adults are pioneers in a changing, challenging world. Many are looking forward to longer, more active lives and exciting new ways to contribute to society. The Heritage Area Agency on Aging believes that older adults should have opportunities for lifelong learning in addition to a secure and joyful life, free from basic want.
Heritage is one of 667 Area Agencies on Aging nationwide and one of only 13 in Iowa. Authorized by the Older Americans Act of 1965 (revised), the Heritage Agency has been a department of Kirkwood Community College since 1973. Our staff is dedicated to educating professionals, employers, volunteers and community residents to meet the challenges that face older adults and their families in our ever-changing and aging world.
The agency plans, coordinates and funds a variety of human services programs that serve the 78,798 older adults who reside in Benton, Cedar , Iowa, Johnson, Jones, Linn, and Washington Counties.
Heritage serves people age 60 and above as well as their families, communities, and governments. In addition, The Heritage Agency serves as an Aging and Disability Resource Center (ADRC) serving adults 18 years of age and older with a disability through advocacy and options counseling.
