Municipal Agents for Aging in Connecticut

Every Connecticut town appoints a Municipal Agent for Aging under state law (C.G.S. 7-127b): a town employee or volunteer, often the senior center director or social services director, whose job is to tell older residents what help exists and how to get it. The agent is the first local call in Connecticut, the way a Council on Aging is in Massachusetts. Behind the agent stands one of the state's five Area Agencies on Aging.

Who pays

The town. The agent's advice is free; the programs they refer to are paid for by the town, the state and the Older Americans Act.

How to choose

There is nothing to choose: call your own town's agent. If the town has no one listed, the Area Agency on Aging for the region or the statewide Aging and Disability Resource Center line (1-800-994-9422) covers the same ground.
