The South Western Oklahoma Development Authority (SWODA) Area Agency on Aging (AAA) provides information about AAA services and other community programs concerning the elderly through the Information and Assistance (I & A) service. The I & A service is designed to help those 60 and older who need information about a program or service, or who simply have problems and do not know where to turn for help. Calls from the elderly and their caregivers are welcomed.
Some of the services that information and/or assistance can be provided for include the following: respite services for caregivers, hearing aids, transportation, housing, legal services, long-term care, medicare, nutrition, health care, housekeeping, weatherization, and other concerns of the elderly.
The SWODAAAA region of service includes Beckham, Custer, Greer, Harmon, Jackson, Kiowa, Roger Mills and Washita counties.
These services are funded in part by state and Older Americans Act Funds from SWODA AAA and DHS Aging Services.
It is policy of SWODA AAA to serve all individuals who are eligible for its programs without regard to race, national origin, ancestry, color, religion, gender, age or disability.
