This is a private, nonprofit organization serving Philadelphia since 1973.  One of the region's largest nonprofits – and the fourth largest area agency on aging in the nation – PCA is dedicated to improving the quality of life for older Philadelphians or people with disabilities by helping them achieve optimum levels of health, independence and productivity.  PCA delivers a variety of social support and health care services to 70,000 consumers each year.

The mission of this agency is to develop comprehensive services to assist older people so that they can remain independent and to prevent the need for premature assisted-living arrangements.  The Bucks County AAA serves as an advocate for all older persons in Bucks County and offers more than 20 programs to help older adults and their families. 

This agency was established in 1971 by the Chester County Commissioners in response to the needs of the county’s growing age 60 and older population.   Some of the services delivered include adult day care, assisted living/personal care facilities, family caregiver support, home care, home-delivered meals, senior centers, senior games, senior rental housing and volunteer opportunities.

Since 1975, this agency has been dedicated to planning, developing, coordinating and administering a comprehensive and coordinated service system for older county residents.  The agency’s services are geared toward promoting well-being and maintaining independence and dignity in a home environment for as long as possible.  Some of COSA’s services include information and referral, senior employment, foster grandparent program and protective services.
