Serving Brunswick County's Older Americans
Community Conversation with the Director of the Cape Fear Area Agency on Aging
The Cape Fear Council of Governments is the designated Area Agency on Aging (AAA) for North Carolina Planning Region O serving Brunswick, Columbus, New Hanover, and Pender Counties. The Area Agency on Aging is mandated by the Older Americans Act of 1965, as amended, to plan, develop, implement, and coordinate aging services for the Region.
According to the U.S. Census, Brunswick County by the median age of its residents is the oldest County in North Carolina.
The AAA assists the counties as they study the needs of older citizens and plan services to meet those needs. They provide the administration and monitoring related to the Home Community Care Block Grant (HCCBG) funding and other direct service funding of community-based services enables older adults to live independently in their own homes as long as possible. Federal, state and local funds make services possible through grant agreements with Boards of County Commissioners and community service providers.
To help provide information regarding the Area Agency on Aging we were pleased to speak with Holly Pilson who is the Director of the Program.
