Who it's for
Older adults age 60 and older, adults with disabilities, and family caregivers in Yuma County are served by the Western Arizona Council of Governments (WACOG) Area Agency on Aging, Region IV. The agency is a single point of contact that connects people to home-delivered and congregate meals, in-home attendant care, family-caregiver support and respite, the long-term-care ombudsman, help with Medicare and AHCCCS enrollment, and transportation help. The Family, Aging & Disability Resource Center handles intake. Call the helpline at 1-800-782-1886 to be connected to services. Because of funding limits, some new services in Mohave and Yuma Counties may have a wait list.
