Hi, Maggie. There are over 600 Area Agencies on Aging in the US—all 50 states, DC, and the territories. Florida, where I live, has 11, so you should be able to find one in your region, wherever it may be. They are mostly funded by the Older Americans Act, but state funds and grant funds (I used to write proposals to funding agencies) are often part of the mix. Let me know if you have a hard time finding a AAA and I will try to help. Bette

@bettes , Hi Bette, I live in South Carolina so I will search and see if I can find one. Thank you for writing back. I'm 83 and have a lot of Ostero Arthritis, had back surgery and 2 knee replacements. I have a group called Catawaba Dept. Of Aging and they provide me with transportation 7 trips a yr. They say I don't qualify for anything else because I have a daughter living with me
I am grateful for the transport..
