Your input is valuable. The Fairfax Area Agency on Aging (FAAA) invites community members, service providers, older adults, and their caregivers to review and comment on the Draft Area Plan for Federal Fiscal Year 2026. The public comment period is open for 30 days (June 25, 2025 - July 25, 2025). Feedback collected during this time will help shape programs and services supporting older adults and their caregivers in Fairfax County.

An Area Agency on Aging (AAA) is a local organization that provides services, resources, and support to older adults, individuals with disabilities, and their caregivers. AAA's primary goal is to help these individuals remain independent, safe, and healthy in their homes and communities.

The Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) requires the FAAA to submit an Area Plan. The Area Plan outlines how the AAA will address older adults, their caregiver needs and includes services such as nutrition programs, caregiver support and education, transportation, and volunteer services.

To better understand what an Area Agency on Aging is and what the Area Plan includes, please review the attached document titled "Fairfax Area Agency on Aging PY 2026 Area Plan Summary and Description."

For a more detailed breakdown of objectives, strategies, services to be provided, and budget allocations, please review the draft Area Plan and Area Plan Proposed Budget information attached to the right.

After reviewing the draft plan, we kindly ask you to respond to the four survey questions below for consideration as the Area Plan is developed.
