The Ohio Department of Aging works with state and local partners to support Ohioans throughout their lives. We all age differently, but we know that the choices you make throughout your life have a bigger impact on how you age than genetics. Here you will find information, resources, and programs to help you live safety in your home and community, create a safe environment for yourself and others, stay active, and contribute. We also support Ohioans who are taking care of older loved ones and neighbors.
