Information Line Available for Seniors and Family Caregivers during state shutdown
The Metropolitan Area Agency on Aging, Inc. (MAAA) has established an Aging Services Information Line: 651-251-5762 to help older adults and caregivers get information about in-home services, meals and other food support, transportation, chore help, respite, caregiver consultation, housing options, Medicare and related issues.
The Information Line is a temporary service, supported with federal funds, to partially fill the gap created by the State's shutdown of the Senior LinkAge Line, a service of the Minnesota Board on Aging and Minnesota's Area Agencies on Aging.
MAAA's Information Line is available Monday through Friday from 8:00 a.m. to 4:30 p.m. at 651-251-5762.
The Information Line is answered by professional Information and Assistance Specialists with expertise in senior and caregiver support services, housing options, Medicare and other public benefits.
MAAA is the designated Area Agency on Aging for Anoka, Carver, Dakota, Hennepin, Ramsey, Scott and Washington counties. Funding for the Information Line is through the Federal Older Americans Act.
