About Us As the Area Agency on Aging (AAA), the Atlanta Regional Commission (ARC) plans and provides comprehensive services to address the needs of the region's older population. The Atlanta region's Area Plan on Aging is carried out through contracts with 10 county-based aging programs and 13 specialized agencies to provide a continuum of home and community-based services. Older citizens and their families have many options, including information and referral services, case management, transportation, home-delivered meals, senior centers, legal services and more through this network of care.
To help older adults and caregivers find services, ARC has developed an extensive database of aging services providers in the Atlanta region. Those looking for services can call AgeWise Connection at 404.463.3333 to speak to a certified information and referral specialist or search the online database. In collaboration with other AAAs around the state, ARC publishes Georgia Generations, a quarterly magazine that addresses issues of interest to family caregivers throughout the state. The magazine is distributed to hospitals, physician offices, pharmacies and libraries.
ARC's New TV Show: "Living Longer, Living Better""Living Longer, Living Better" looks at the aging of the Baby Boomers and other issues faced as metro Atlanta's population grows older. The episode also examines the many aspects of retirement, from finances to housing to health.
