The Ohio Department of Aging works closely with statewide agencies, advocates and service providers to advocate for and serve older Ohioans. Check out the sections below to learn more about who we are and what we do.

The Ohio Department of Aging believes that everyone has the right to receive the care they need in the settings they prefer. The aging network helps Ohioans understand their options for care and ensures your rights as a consumer are not infringed.

Federal law mandates that each state designate a unit on Aging. The Department of Aging is a cabinet-level state agency with a Director appointed by the Governor. The Department receives and administers funding from a variety of sources and oversees a variety of programs.
