Area Agency on Aging
Area Agency on Aging provides front-door access to information, screening, and referrals for aging services to Vermont residents age 60 and older.
Questions that decide eligibility
GiveCare prepares the questions; the program makes the decision. Bring these to the call or the application:
- 01
Does the person receiving care live in Vermont?
Residency is usually the first thing a program checks.
- 02
Is the person receiving care in the covered age range (60–null)?
- 03
Does the VA disability rating meet the program’s minimum (our record lists null%)?
- 04
Do the work hours meet the minimum (our record lists null hours)?
- 05
Is there a caregiver-specific department, coordinator, or support line? Ask for it by name.
Many agencies have one that isn’t advertised on the website.
- 06
What documents do you need from us to start an application?
- 07
Is there a waitlist right now, and how long is it?
