Mission Statement
To enable older adults to remain vital, active, participating members of society by advocating for the development and continuation of quality services; providing accurate information; offering educational programs and other opportunities; and, to provide assistance and guidance to families, caregivers, providers of services, elected officials, businesses and the community.
Description
The Greater Wisconsin Agency on Aging Resources is a new state-wide entity to administer funds and promote quality services for older adults under the auspices of the Older Americans Act. While much of GWAAR's focus is on providing technical assistance and oversight to local Aging and Disability Resource Centers and their staff, a special project component is linked to the State Health Insurance and Assistance Program (SHIP) to provide education and counseling to professionals, beneficiaries, and caregivers regarding Medicare and other benefits.
