Area Agency On Aging For

Area Agency On Aging For, doing business as Bsst AAA, is a non-profit organization located in Towanda, Pennsylvania, registered in SAM.gov since 2009. As a tax-exempt corporate entity, the organization focuses on providing comprehensive services to seniors and individuals with disabilities across Bradford County and potentially surrounding regions. The agency is primarily dedicated to supporting older adults through various federal and state-sponsored programs, with a mission of enhancing independent living, providing supportive services, and maintaining the quality of life for senior populations.

The organization receives federal grant awards primarily from the Corporation for National and Community Service, specifically through two key AmeriCorps Seniors programs: the Senior Companion Program (SCP) and the Foster Grandparent Program (FGP). These programs engage volunteers aged 55 and older to provide critical services such as companionship, transportation, respite care, tutoring, and mentoring to vulnerable populations. Additionally, through sub-grant agreements with the Pennsylvania Department of Aging and Department of Human Services, Bsst AAA administers a wide range of federally funded services including Title III B supportive services, congregate and home-delivered meals, preventive health programs, family caregiver support, ombudsman services, elder abuse prevention, and Medicaid waiver program care management. The organization's most recent federal grants total approximately $674,608 for the 2024-25 program year, with a focus on supporting independent living, educational support for children, and maintaining social connections for seniors.
