FIVCO Area Agency on Aging & Independent Living (AAAIL)

Mission Statement

To provide information, education, and supportive services for older adults and disabled people of any age that will contribute to a good quality of life.  The older adult and disabled population residing within the FIVCO ADD Region (Boyd, Carter, Elliott, Greenup, & Lawrence counties) will have access to the numerous resources that they need to thrive.

The FIVCO AAAIL operates under the FIVCO ADD Board of Directors and is advised by the FIVCO Advisory Council on Aging. The FIVCO ADD Board is comprised of locally elected officials and citizen members from the counties and cities.  The FIVCO Advisory Council on Aging was established and operates under the requirements as outlined in the Older American’s Act.

FIVCO AAAIL engages in partnerships and collaborations with other programs or agencies in our service area to meet the needs of our consumers.
