What We Can Do For You & Your Aging Parents
For more than 20 years, the Central MN Council on Aging, a non-profit agency, has coordinated services, programs and funding to assist elders and their families in managing health, safety and well-being. By utilizing an advocate-based model and an extensive network of community resources, we have established an excellent reputation for maximizing access to public, private and informal services.

We assist seniors and their families through a self determination process, gathering complete information and presenting all available options and choices.
