MAC (Maintaining Active Citizens) is one of the five oldest Area Agencies on Aging in the United States. Founded in 1972 as a pilot project, and formally established by the Older Americans Act in 1973, MAC, as a AAA, is charged with helping older adults live with independence and dignity in their homes and communities.
Core services offered under the Older Americans Act include: Elder Rights, Caregivers, Nutrition, Health & Wellness, and Supportive Services.
MAC stands for Maintaining Active Citizens, and as the name suggests, it offers an abundance of services to help more active seniors live their lives to the fullest, such as helping retirees find meaningful volunteer opportunities through the RSVP program; helping seniors to improve their physical fitness and to take charge of their health through various wellness programs and classes; and a network of senior centers, where participants can enjoy recreational activities, fitness and educational programs, and the company of other seniors.
MAC also operates the local Meals On Wheels program and an Ombudsman program designed to safeguard seniors living in long-term-care facilities from abuse or neglect.
