How to apply for Disease Prevention & Wellness Programs
Virginia Department for Aging and Rehabilitative Services (DARS) — local Area Agencies on Aging
Who it's for
Your local Area Agency on Aging runs wellness programmes for older Virginians. They can include exercise classes, fall prevention, and help preventing or managing a disease. Contact your local Area Agency on Aging to find out what is running near you.
DARS describes the category rather than a single programme — what is actually offered, and when, is set by your local Area Agency on Aging, so availability varies across Virginia. No fee or income test is published.
