Direction Home of Eastern Ohio

Our Mission: Direction Home of Eastern Ohio works with people, communities and organizations to plan, prepare and care for aging and disability through education, advocacy and implementation of services. Direction Home of Eastern Ohio, formerly Area Agency on Aging 11, was created as a result of the Older Americans Act (OAA). The OAA was designed to provide services to older persons not adequately served by other public and private systems. OAA dollars fund many senior services that enable older Americans to remain in their own homes and communities, avoiding unnecessary and costly institutionalization. More recently, Direction Home of Eastern Ohio has broadened our scope to offer long-term services and supports to Medicaid recipients and qualifying individuals of all ages.

Direction Home of Eastern Ohio enhances the quality of life for older adults and people with disabilities by offering and coordinating services that allow them to live safely in the place they choose to call ‘home.’ rom personal care, transportation and home-delivered meals for older adults and people with disabilities, to wellness classes, caregiver support and Medicaid assistance for qualifying individuals of all ages, we offer a variety of free and low-cost resources to keep you happy, healthy and safe.
